The Mechanical Nature of the Lithosphere Beneath the Eastern Central Atlantic Hotspots by Alberto Jiménez‐Díaz, Ana M. Negredo, Jon F. Kirby, Pilar Sánchez‐Pastor, Javier Fullea, Javier Ruiz, Marta Pérez‐Gussinyé, Chuanhai Yu

“…All the hotspots except Canary show standard elastic thickness values when compared to average values for the same age lithosphere and to other oceanic areas in the world. The high strength of the Canary hotspot may be related to the highly depleted mantle composition in the area. …”

Lanternfish (Myctophidae) zoogeography off eastern Australia: a comparison with physicochemical biogeography. by Adrian J Flynn, N Justin Marshall

“…As lanternfishes integrate vertical ocean processes, the hypothesised lanternfish zoogeography may represent a useful model for a generalised pelagic biogeography that should be tested for other oceanic groups.…”

Preliminary Assessment of Sea Star (Echinodermata, Asteroidea) Diversity in the Coastal Magellanic Region (South Chile) and Their Geographical Distribution by Luka Vantomme, Quentin Jossart, Karin Gérard, Bruno Danis, Camille Moreau

“…In this study, we assessed the biodiversity of coastal Magellanic sea stars and their affinities with other oceanic bioregions. An integrative approach combining morphological identification with DNA barcoding was implemented to highlight taxonomic discrepancies such as suspected synonymy and unrecognised diversity. …”

Coastal Staphylinidae (Coleoptera): A worldwide checklist, biogeography and natural history by Kee-Jeong Ahn, Howard Frank

“…However, at the level of species, species belonging to non-coastal-specialist genera are about as likely to occur on the shores of other oceans as on the shores of the Pacific. This difference is a reflection of the antiquity of coastal genera and species. …”

Seed dispersal and establishment of endangered plants on Oceanic Islands: the Janzen-Connell model, and the use of ecological analogues. by Dennis M Hansen, Christopher N Kaiser, Christine B Müller

“…Furthermore, in contrast to recent controversy about the use of non-indigenous extant megafauna for re-wilding projects in North America and elsewhere, we argue that Mauritius and other oceanic islands are ideal study systems in which to empirically explore the use of ecological analogue species in restoration ecology.…”

Coarse-grained rocks of Ascension Island by Harris, C, Harris, C.

“…</p><p>Comparison with other oceanic volcanoes suggests that these differentiation processes are much less important in determining the evolutionary path of the magma than its apparent starting composition.…”

A seismic study of lithospheric flexure in the vicinity of Tenerife, Canary Islands by Watts, A, Peirce, C, Collier, J, Dalwood, R, Canales, J, Henstock, T

“…The crustal and upper mantle structure at Tenerife therefore differs from other oceanic islands such as Hawaii and Marquesas where &gt; 4 km of underplated material have been reported.…”

Aerosol Microbiome over the Mediterranean Sea Diversity and Abundance by Esra Mescioglu, Eyal Rahav, Natalia Belkin, Peng Xian, Jordan M. Eizenga, Ania Vichik, Barak Herut, Adina Paytan

“…Airborne bacterial abundance ranged from 0.7 × 10⁴ to 2.5 × 10⁴ cells m⁻³ air, similar to abundances at other oceanic regimes. Our results demonstrate that airborne bacterial diversity is positively correlated with the mineral dust content in the aerosols and was spatially separated between major basins of the Mediterranean Sea. …”

Observation of Near-Inertial Oscillations Induced by Energy Transformation during Typhoons by Huaqian Hou, Fei Yu, Feng Nan, Bing Yang, Shoude Guan, Yuanzhi Zhang

“…The estimated vertical group velocities (Cgz) of the three NIO events were 11.9, 7.4, and 23.0 m d&minus;1, and were relatively small compared with observations from other oceans (i.e., 100 m d&minus;1). The directions of the horizontal near-inertial currents changed four or five times between the depths of 40 and 800 m in all three NIO events, implying that typhoons in the northwest Pacific usually generate high-mode NIOs. …”

“…The different figures present (i) The geological context of study area, (ii) A classification of the samples according to their geochemical composition and geological context for a better legibility of the dataset, (iii) A comparison with data from other oceanic rises, (iv) A detailed method explaining the foundations of the chronology between samples established, and (v) A chronological representation of the geochemical composition of the basalts collected. …”
