Effects of temporal variability of disturbance on the succession in marine fouling communities in northern-central Chile [PDF]
, 2007 We investigated the effects of temporal variability in a disturbance regime on fouling communities at two study sites in a northern-central Chilean bay. Fouling assemblages grown on artificial settlement substrata were disturbed by mechanical removal of ...

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...
