A Geological History for the Alboran Sea Region
55 pages, 13 figures The Alboran Basin is a Neogene-Quaternary extensional basin located within the Betic-Rif alpine cordillera. The region where the current basin is located holds great oceanographic relevance, as it lies in the area of connection between the western (Atlantic Ocean basin) and eastern seas (ocean basins of the Ligurian Tethys and then

Fishing shapes cetacean population density patterns in the Mediterranean basin
Human impacts are forcing species towards marginal and suboptimal portions of their historical ranges. Cetaceans are now under protection, but are still threatened by fishing activities, which reduce fish stocks, alter their feeding behavior, and can cause mortality due to bycatch.

Landscape‐Mediated Effects of Climate Change on Metacommunities Inhabiting Mediterranean Seagrass
ABSTRACT Aim Climate change affects dramatically biogenic habitats by altering the geographic distribution of the foundational species and the structure of landscapes they form. As a consequence, the associated biotic communities could experience habitat loss and fragmentation.

Modelling the Gibraltar Strait/Western Alboran Sea ecohydrodynamics
The ecohydrodynamics of the Gibraltar Strait and the Western Alboran Sea is investigated using a 3-D, two-way nested, coupled hydrodynamic/plankton ecosystem model, exploiting the MEDATLAS climatological database. A high-resolution model (~1 km) of the Gibraltar/Western Alboran region embedded within a coarse-resolution model of the West Mediterranean (
