Range expansion of tropical shallow-water marine molluscs in the NE Atlantic du...
Melo, Carlos S.; Martín-González, Esther; da Silva, Carlos M.; Galindo, Inés; González-Rodríguez, Alberto; Baptista, Lara; Rebelo, A. CristinaControlled by ecological and physical factors, marine species distribution may vary due to global climatic changes that result from range expansion or contraction (the latter caused by local disappearances, i.e., extirpations). Spanning from 13 degrees to 39 degrees N, the Macaronesian region encompasses five archipelagos located within warm-temperate to tropical climatic zones and influenced by a surface water...

Melo, Carlos S.; Martín-González, Esther; da Silva, Carlos M.; Galindo, Inés; González-Rodríguez, Alberto; Baptista, Lara; Rebelo, A. CristinaIt was with much interest that we read the comment made by Meco et al. (2022), regarding our work on “Range expansion of tropical shallow-water marine molluscs in the NE Atlantic during the last interglacial (MIS 5e): Causes, consequences and utility of ecostratigraphic indicators for the Macaronesian archipelagos”. We welcome the discussion generated by our paper and appreciate the recognition of its complexit...
Diverse bioerosion structures in lower Pliocene deposits from a volcanic oceani...
Dávid, Árpád; Uchman, Alfred; Ramalho, Ricardo Dos Santos; Madeira, José; Melo, Carlos; Madeira, Patrícia; Rebelo, Ana Cristina; Berning, BjörnPliocene body fossils from Santa Maria Island, Azores, have been studied for decades, but only more recently have ichnofossils received their due attention. Calcareous Pliocene deposits from the Baía de Nossa Senhora section contain numerous, diverse, well-preserved natural casts of invertebrate borings. The study of this type of fossils adds to knowledge on the dispersal of benthic faunas across oceans to volc...
Pliocene and Late Pleistocene actinopterygian fishes from Santa Maria Island, A...
Ávila, Sérgio P.; Azevedo, José M. N.; Madeira, Patrícia; Cordeiro, Ricardo; Melo, Carlos S.; Baptista, Lara; Torres, Paulo; Johnson, Markes E.Fossil fishes are among the rarest in volcanic oceanic islands, their presence providing invaluable data for the understanding of more general (palaeo)biogeographical patterns and processes. Santa Maria Island (Azores Archipelago) is renowned for its palaeontological heritage, with representatives of several phyla, including the Chordata. We report on the fossil fishes, resulting in an increase in the number of...
Restructuring of the ‘Macaronesia’ biogeographic unit: a marine multi-taxon bio...
Freitas, Rui; Romeiras, Maria; Silva, Luís; Cordeiro, Ricardo; Madeira, Patrícia; González, José Antonio; Wirtz, Peter; Falcón, Jesús M.; Brito, AlbertoThe Azores, Madeira, Selvagens, Canary Islands and Cabo Verde are commonly united under the term "Macaronesia". This study investigates the coherency and validity of Macaronesia as a biogeographic unit using six marine groups with very different dispersal abilities: coastal fishes, echinoderms, gastropod molluscs, brachyuran decapod crustaceans, polychaete annelids, and macroalgae. We found no support for the c...

First record of the Mediterranean asteroid Sclerasterias richardi (Perrier in M...
Madeira, Patrícia; Martins, António M. de Frias; Ávila, Sérgio P.The first occurrence of the Mediterranean fissiparous asteroid Sclerasterias richardi (Perrier in Milne-Edwards 1882) is reported from the Azores based upon dredged material off the south coast of São Miguel Island at 135 m depth. This record represents a considerable expansion of the species’ geographic range, otherwise reported with certainty only from the Mediterranean Sea. S. richardi is capable of producin...
Os fósseis de Santa Maria (Açores) : a jazida da Prainha.
Ávila, Sérgio P.; Rebelo, Ana C.; Medeiros, André; Melo, Carlos; Gomes, Cidalina; Bagaço, Leila; Madeira, Patrícia; Borges, Paulo A. V.; Monteiro, PedroPREFÁCIO: O trabalho que agora se apresenta de Sérgio Ávila e colaboradores é mais um precioso contributo para a divulgação científica que emerge de trabalho de investigação académica da Universidade dos Açores. É um trabalho que procura conciliar um rigor e uma descrição exaustiva e profusamente ilustrada dos elementos factuais paleontológicos e geológicos associados à jazida da Prainha, com uma obra apelativa...
Illustrated checklist of the infralittoral molluscs off Vila Franca do Campo
Martins, António M. de Frias; Borges, José P.; Ávila, Sérgio P.; Costa, Ana C.; Madeira, Patrícia; Morton, BrianA list of the molluscan species dredged during the 3rd International Workshop of Malacology and Marine Biology is presented. Positive identification has not been possible for a number of taxa. However, almost all species are illustrated so as to provide a practical guide to the species which may occur as beach drift and others which naturally range up into the intertidal. The distribution of the species at the ...
