. Our analysis reveals important patterns in pigmentation change and stability in this widespread species but the mechanisms and specific drivers remain unknown. Leer más.
Our study highlights how phylogeographic diversity can be acknowledged in zoological systematics, even when phenotypic differences are subtle, and illustrates the advantages of genomic approaches to overcome the limitations of single-gene analyses when implementing taxonomic revisions. Leer más.
We show that paleoclimatic oscillations were major evolutionary and biogeographic drivers in C. cerastes, which exhibits different levels of intra-specific diversity and allopatric lineage structuration across the desert. High lineage richness in the north-western Sahara contrasts with an overall lack of genetic diversity throughout the central and eastern Sahara. Leer más.
Para averiguarlo, liberaron 25 tortugas marinas en mar abierto, en un punto intermedio entre Japón y Norteamérica. En lo que va de este 2024, siete de las tortugas lograron llegar o acercarse a las costas mexicanas de Baja California y Baja California Sur, en México. Leer más.
on-native species often appear through accidental transport or by the release of pets, but they rarely survive or come into contact with con-specifics to establish a colony. If they do come into contact with others of the same species and reproduce, the outcome tends to be a small localised colony, held in place by geographical, environmental, predatory or climate barriers.
