TL;DR: In this paper, the main physical and chemical characteristics of the vent habitat were studied by discrete sampling, in situ analysis and sediment trap moorings, showing that the vent fauna is distributed along a variable band where the vent fluids and seawater mix, with R. exoculata living in most concentrated areas and Bathymodiolus azoricus in the most diluted zones.

TL;DR: Molecular markers based on mitochondrial (mt) DNA control region sequences were used to test the hypothesis that juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in pelagic habitats of the eastern Atlantic are derived from nesting populations in the western Atlantic.

TL;DR: The geological setting and vent fluid composition of the fields are considered together with their community composition to tentatively ascertain the order of a hierarchy between dispersal and environmental control, suggesting faunal islands that have distinct composition and habitat requirements.

TL;DR: It is shown that house mice on Madeira have an unexpected chromosomal diversity, the evolution of which is independent of adaptive processes, relying instead on geographic isolation and genetic drift.

TL;DR: In this article, the conservation status of 1,020 species of European marine fishes and identify factors that contribute to their extinction risk were examined based on the latest International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) European regional Red List of marine fishes.
