Cryptic species of rockfishes (Sebastes: Scorpaenidae) in the southern hemisphere inferred from mitochondrial lineages.
We used mitochondrial DNA sequence variation of Sebastes from the southeastern Pacific and three localities in the South Atlantic to address long-standing systematic and evolutionary issues regarding the number of species in the Southern Hemisphere. Sequences of the hypervariable mitochondrial control region were obtained from 10 specimens of S. capensis from South Africa (n = 5) and from Trist...

Over 60 years ago, Peter Beighton and I both attended Arnold School, in the Lancashire town of Blackpool – a place, according to a music hall recital, ‘famous for fresh air and fun’! From there our professional careers have taken us to many fascinating places, including the remotest inhabited island in the world – Tristan da Cunha, in mid-South Atlantic. I was there in 1955 1956, as Senior Scie...
متن کاملThe Geomagnetic Observatory on Tristan da Cunha: Setup, Operation and Experiences
The island Tristan da Cunha is located in the South Atlantic Anomaly, and until recently the area has been one of the largest gaps in the global geomagnetic observatory network. As part of the Danish project SAADAN we set up a geomagnetic observatory on the island. Here we report on how we established the observatory in 2009 and on its operation in 2010.
متن کاملEvolution of the Walvis Ridge-Rio Grande Rise Hot Spot System' Implications for African and South American Plate Motions Over Plumes
Crystallization ages of volcanic rocks, dredged or drilled from the Walvis Ridge (ten sites) and the Rio Grande Rise (one site), have been determined by the 40Ar/39Ar incremental heating technique. The fundamentally age-progressive distribution of these basement ages suggests a common hot spot source for volcanism on the island of Tristan da Cunha, along the Walvis Ridge and Rio Grande Rise, an...
متن کاملEvidence of explosive seafloor volcanic activity from the Walvis Ridge, South Atlantic Ocean
[1] Hydrophones moored in the North Atlantic Ocean recorded a sequence of explosive, volcano-acoustic signals originated at the Walvis Ridge in the South Atlantic Ocean. 365 explosive signals were detected from the Walvis Ridge beginning 24 November 2001 continuing through March 2002. The largest swarm began on 19 December at 2329 GMT, and lasted 1.25 hrs producing 32 locatable events. Swarm lo...
