Climate-driven diversity changes of Mediterranean echinoids over the last 6 Ma
Echinoids are an important component of the Cenozoic marine benthic communities. In this publication, we review their diversity in the Mediterranean area within the Late Miocene to recent, a period of remarkable paleogeographic and paleoclimate changes.
How anthozoan distribution records from OBIS contribute to the global biogeography of the ocean midnight zone
A global analysis of the benthic fauna of the lower bathyal using data from OBIS revealed a surprisingly high level of endemism. The study published in March 2022 by Watling & Lapointe (2022) proposed a revision of the bathyal provinces of the world.
Occupancy‐derived thermal affinities reflect known physiological thermal limits of marine species
In this study we used the robis package to extract 2,176,906 OBIS occurrence records for 533 marine species from 24 taxonomic classes for which we had access to experimentally derived thermal limits. By linking these occurrence records to global sea surface and sea bottom temperature, we compared the temperatures at which species actually live to their thermal limits.
