🌊 Using global data on #marinebiodiversity, this study maps the #biogeographic boundaries that shape species assemblages along the world’s coasts.
Most boundaries align with strong thermohaline gradients, revealing how #ocean currents shape life’s distribution. 🌐

Mitochondrial genome insights into the phylogenetics and biogeographic evolution of snow trout (Cyprinidae, Schizothorax) in the Tien Shan Mountains Snow trout (Schizothorax), endemic to the high-altitude freshwater systems of the Tibetan Plateau and the Tien Shan Mountains region, are key components of these ecosystems. This fish lineage may serv...
