Natural History and Conservation of the Galapagos Snake Rediation
The Galapagos Archipelago has been world-famous since Darwin’s visit and is recognized for its species radiation and high levels of endemism. However, Galapagos snakes of the genus Pseudalsophis remained poorly known until recently.

Concentrations of lead in pinniped bones confirm Galapagos as a relatively unpolluted environment
Lead (Pb) is a trace element that is naturally present in arid regions but it is also released to the marine environment by anthropogenic industrial emissions. Here, we assessed Pb concentrations in bone samples of four pinniped species.

Seroconversion in Galapagos Sea Lions (Zalophus wollebaeki) Confirms the Presence of Canine Distemper Virus in Rookeries of San Cristobal Island
JThe emblematic Galapagos sea lion (GSL—Zalophus wollebaeki) has faced an important population decline over the last four decades.

Assessment of nursery areas for the scalloped hammerhead shark (Sphyrna lewini) across the Eastern Tropical Pacific using a stable isotopes approach
The scalloped hammerhead shark is one of the most iconic marine species across the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP), yet little is still known about its reproductive biology.

Galapagos Pinnipeds, Challenges to Their Survival
Pinnipeds endemic to the Galapagos archipelago are in endangered conservation status. The Galapagos sea lion, Zalophus wollebaeki, and Galapagos fur seal, Arctocephalus galapagoensis, have adapted to an ecosystem with high environmental variability and unpredictable marine productivity to survive.
