Invasive Pleurodema thaul from Robinson Crusoe Island: Molecular identification of its geographic origin and comments on the phylogeographic structure of this species in mainland Chile
(2008)
Robinson Crusoe Island, located 670 km west of the coast of central Chile, is characterized by a high number of endemic and introduced species of plants and animals. This island lacks native amphibians or reptiles, but ...
Annotated list of island lady beetles from Chile (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
(Magnolia Press, 2020)
We provide a list of coccinellids (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) species from the island territories of Chile. We report a total of 68 records, coming from ten islands, including 42 species corresponding to more than 35% of ...
Human ecological impacts on islands: Exemplified by a dwarf deer (Cervidae: Mazama sp.) on Pedro Gonzalez Island, Pearl Island Archipelago, Pacific Panama (6.2–5.6 kya)
(USA, 2022-05-19)
The present study’s primary goal is to apply analyses of stable isotopes and tooth micro- and mesowear to the question of dietary change among a mid-Holocene population of small brocket deer (Cervidae: Mazama) in response ...
Evidence of strong small-scale population structure in the Antarctic freshwater copepod Boeckella poppei in lakes on Signy Island, South Orkney Islands
(Wiley, 2020)
Environmental conditions were particularly severe during the Last Glacial Maximum, altering the distribution of the Southern Hemisphere biota, particularly at higher latitudes. The copepodBoeckella poppeiis the only ...
Seismic stratigraphy of the Sabrina Coast shelf, East Antarctica: Early history of dynamic meltwater-rich glaciations
(Geological Soc Amer, 2020)
High-resolution seismic data from the Sabrina Coast continental shelf, East Antarctica, elucidate the Cenozoic evolution of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. Detailed seismic stratigraphic and facies analysis reveal the Paleogene ...
Heterozygosity-Fitness Correlations in a Continental Island Population of Thorn-Tailed Rayadito
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
Heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFCs) have been used to monitor the effects of inbreeding in threatened populations. HFCs can also be useful to investigate the potential effects of inbreeding in isolated relict ...
Erratum to: Phenotypic variability and genetic differentiation in continental and island populations of Colobanthus quitensis (Caryophyllaceae: Antarctic pearlwort)
(Springer-Verlag, 2018)
Colobanthus quitensis (Antarctic pearlwort) is one of the only two native vascular plants to inhabit the extreme environmental conditions of Antarctica. Colobanthus quitensis has a wide geographic distribution, both in ...
Discovery of a continental population of the rare Darwin's fox, Dusicyon fulvipes (Martin, 1837) in Chile
(1990)
The rare Darwin's fox Dusicyon fulvipes (Martin, 1837) was thought to be restricted to Chiloé Island in southern Chile, and to be a subspecies of Dusicyon griseus. We report the finding of a continental population of D. ...
Ensayo de interpretación de la plataforma continental geofísica del caribe
(Caldasia, 1964)
This paper is an attempt to interpret the negative isostatic anomaly of the Western Caribbean Sea on the basis of the new criterion used by professor M. Ewing et al. in their interpretation of the island arc in Pto. Rico ...
Assessing distribution shifts and ecophysiological characteristics of the only Antarctic winged midge under climate change scenarios
(Nature, 2020)
Parts of Antarctica were amongst the most rapidly changing regions of the planet during the second half of the Twentieth Century. Even so, today, most of Antarctica remains in the grip of continental ice sheets, with only ...
