There is still doubt as to the number of species of the freshwater Chilean ichthyofauna, 64 % of which have conservation problems. One of the groups is that of the silversides of the genus Basilichthys. Three morphological species of this genus have been described in Chile with disjoint distributions: Basilichthys semotilus, B. microlepidotus and B. australis; the latter two overlap in distribution only in the Aconcagua River and are not easily distinguishable by morphological and meristic characters. In order to evaluate the efficacy of identification of these species by molecular techniques, we analyzed the sequence of 9 % of the mitochondrial DNA (Control Region and COI) of individuals from the Loa River (21°41' S) to the Valdivia River (39°50' S),... |

Diversity, abundance and composition of taxonomic groups in the Southern Ocean differ from elsewhere in the planet, since the biogeography in this region reflects the complex interactions of tectonics, oceanography, climate and biological elements since the Eocene. Several groups of marine benthic organisms exhibit high levels of genetic divergence among provinces in this region, supporting the existence of a vicariance process through plate tectonics, while other groups with high dispersive capacity exhibit recent divergence processes. Moreover, the discovery of non-Antarctic decapod larvae in Antarctic Peninsula suggests that some groups can travel across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Here we analyzed levels of genetic divergence in congeneric... |

The glacial cycles of the Pleistocene have promoted the principal climatic changes of the Southern Ocean, and motivated scientific interest regarding the strategies developed by marine benthic invertebrates to tolerate and overcome the extension and contraction of the ice sheet on the Antarctic continental platform. A recent study of the bathymetric zonation and distribution of macro-invertebrates in a shallow subtidal area of Fildes Bay (King George Island, South Shetlands Islands, Antarctica) highlighted the presence of a large aggregation of the brooding sea urchin Abatus agassizii, whose geographic distribution is known only for localities south of the Antarctic convergence (Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland and South Georgia Islands in the Scotia... |
