Scorpaena mediterranea sp. nov.: A Novel Cryptic Scorpionfish Revealing the Mediterranean Sea as an Evolutionary Incubator

The Mediterranean Sea represents a unique marine ecosystem whose complex geological history and oceanographic dynamics establish it as a biogeographical laboratory of primary importance. The present work introduces a profound scientific paradigm shift in interpreting the evolutio...

Formal establishment of Delphinus mediterraneus sp. nov.: Reticulate speciation within the evolutionary laboratory of the Mediterranean Sea

The understanding of the evolutionary dynamics of the genus Delphinus within the Mediterranean Sea has long been confounded by the orthodox paradigm of global panmixia. This study dismantles this assumption, demonstrating that the Strait of Gibraltar acts as a strict phylogenetic...
