The Influence of Boundary Habitat Continuity on Spillover from a Mediterranean Marine Protected Area
(Thalassas: An International Journal of Marine Sciences, 2022)
The efectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) to restore populations of exploited species, both within and outside of
their boundaries through net movement of individuals (“spillover”), can potentially be afected by ...
Stock assessment of the blue jack mackerel, Trachurus picturatus, in the North- eastern Atlantic
(Wiley, 2018-08)
A total of 49,151 blue jack mackerel, Trachurus picturatus , (Bowdich) was collected in Madeira Island (North‐eastern Atlantic) between 2002 and 2016 to evaluate possible influence of fishing on landings and reproductive ...
New Data on the Systematics of Comb-fin Squids Chtenopteryx spp. (Cephalopoda: Chtenopterygidae) from the Canary Islands
(Zoological Studies, 2018-07-11)
The systematics of the comb-fin squid species is problematic and poorly resolved. In total, 53 specimens of comb-fin squids (Chtenopteryx spp.) were caught at depths ranging from 30 to 800 m off the Canary Islands (NE ...
Interspecific variation in the physiological and reproductive parameters of porcelain crabs from the Southeastern Pacific coast: potential adaptation in contrasting marine environments
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
Porcelain crabs inhabit from upper intertidal to subtidal habitats. These environments are characterized by highly variable environmental conditions, which subject species found in these habitats to stress. In this study, ...
Building up marine biodiversity loss: Artificial substrates hold lower number and abundance of low occupancy benthic and sessile species
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
Ocean sprawl is replacing natural substrates with artificial alternatives. We hypothesized that, after submersion, high occupancy, high mobility species colonize artificial substrates faster than low occupancy, low mobility ...
Modelling alpha-diversities of coastal lagoon fish assemblages from the Mediterranean Sea
(Elsevier, 2018-07)
Coastal lagoons are marine ecosystems spread worldwide with high ecological value; however, they are increasingly becoming deteriorated as a result of anthropogenic activity. Their conservation requires a better understanding ...
Additional empirical evidence on the intrinsic trend to stationarity in the long run and the nested relationship between abiotic, biotic and anthropogenic factors starting from the organic biophysics of ecosystems (OBEC)
(Elsevier, 2018-09-10)
Conventional ecology lacks a non-contingent theory on the relationship between abiotic, biotic and anthropogenic factors under natural or quasi-natural conditions. As a result, since ecology is the science that studies the ...
Aggressive interactions between the invasive anemone Anemonia alicemartinae and the native anemone Phymactis papillosa
(Inter Research, 2019-10)
The distribution range expansion of species mediated by natural or anthropic mechanisms is one of the main causes of changes in biodiversity patterns. Anemonia alicemartinae is a cryptogenic species found along the coasts ...
Long-term population status of two harvested intertidal grazers (Patella aspera and Patella candei), before (1996-2006) and after (2007-2017) the implementation of management measure
(Journal of Sea Research, 2019-02)
Intertidal limpets are subject to harvesting pressure in regions, e.g. oceanic islands, where marine organisms are a more accessible source of protein. These molluscs are very sensitive to human exploitation which often ...
