Biogeographical patterns and areas of endemism for the Magellan region based on the distribution of crustacean species (Amphipoda, Copepoda, and Euphausiacea)

The study identifies three primary areas of endemism in the Magellan region based on the distribution of Amphipoda, Copepoda, and Euphausiacea: Chiloé, the Atlantic coast, and Fueguia. The findings suggest that the Atlantic coast and Fueguia areas do not align strictly with previously defined provinces and provide new biogeographic insights for marine protected areas including Burdwood Bank, Yaganes, and the Diego Ramírez-Drake Passage.

• The researchers identified three primary areas of endemism (AEs) in the Magellan region: Chiloé, the Atlantic coast (which includes smaller areas in Cape Blanco and San Jorge Gulf), and Fueguia (which encompasses the South-West Atlantic transition area, Burdwood Bank, Malvinas/Falklands, and Channels and Fjords).
• The identified areas of endemism for Fueguia and the Atlantic coast do not correspond exactly to the provinces established in previous literature.
• The study provides new biogeographic data relevant to existing marine protected areas at the southern tip of South America, specifically mentioning Yaganes, Burdwood Bank, and the Diego Ramírez-Drake Passage.
