Article Synopsis
- Connectivity is essential for understanding population dynamics in marine ecosystems, and recent methods have improved our ability to study it, especially along the complex Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP).
- The study focused on the notothenioid fish Harpagifer antarcticus, using biophysical modeling and population genomics to reveal congruent patterns of connectivity and genetic groups defined by limited gene flow due to local oceanographic barriers.
- Findings indicate that both geographic distance and ocean currents significantly influence the population structure of H. antarcticus, leading to discussions on connectivity estimations and conservation priorities for the marine protected area in this vulnerable region of the Southern Ocean.
Copepods are present in numerous aquatic environments, playing key roles in food webs, and are thought to be useful indicators of environmental change. is a calanoid copepod genus distributed mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, with 14 species reported at higher southern latitudes in South America and Antarctica. We present an updated database of these 14 species of generated from a combination of three sources: 1) new field sampling data, 2) published records, and 3) Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), to provide a comprehensive description of the geographic distribution of the genus south of latitude 40°S in southern South America and the three main terrestrial biogeographic regions of Antarctica.
