Mapping Subtidal Marine Forests in the Mediterranean Sea Using Copernicus Contributing Mission

Remote Sensing
Mediterranean subtidal reefs host ecologically significant habitats, including forests of Cystoseira spp., which form complex benthic communities within the photic zone.

Rapid Biodiversity Assessment and Monitoring Method for Highly Diverse Benthic Communities: a Case Study of Mediterranean Coralligenous Outcrops [PDF]

, 2011
Increasing anthropogenic pressures urge enhanced knowledge and understanding of the current state of marine biodiversity. This baseline information is pivotal to explore present trends, detect future modifications and propose adequate management actions ...

Trace Element Contamination in Top Predatory Elasmobranchs From the Southern Black Sea: Implications for Ecosystem Health and Risk Assessment

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution resulting from the rapid increase in human population, urbanization, intensive use of chemicals in agriculture, and industrial development has reached a level that threatens natural life today. Trace elements are one of the most important factors causing significant levels of pollution in the environment and are added ...

Wildfire Ash Alters Freshwater Crustacean Behavior: Disentangling the Contributions of Suspended Macroparticles and Ash‐Induced Alkalinization

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change and anthropogenic ignitions are intensifying wildfire frequency worldwide, elevating the risk of freshwater contamination by ash. In water, dissolved ash releases ions and other toxic constituents that increase pH and alter physicochemical conditions, while suspended ash particles may impose mechanical stress, disrupt behavior ...

Movement and Space Use Patterns of the Beale's Eyed Turtle (Sacalia bealei) Suggest Sensitivity to Environmental Changes and Poaching 比氏眼斑龟 (Sacalia bealei) 的活动与空间利用模式揭示其对环境变化及盗猎的敏感性

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using radiotelemetry, we found that the movement and home range of the endangered Sacalia bealei varied significantly across reproductive classes and seasons, with males exhibiting greater movement than females during wet and mating seasons. The species exhibits strong aquatic dependence, favoring deep pools interspaced among riffle‐pool sequences ...

Ecological scale mediates nonlinear relationships of animal nutrient excretion with dissolved organic matter

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that nutrient excretion by vertebrates and invertebrates varies nonlinearly with dissolved organic matter concentration and composition and by taxonomic rank, with stronger patterns at the individual compared to the community level. Our findings highlight the importance of examining animal‐mediated nutrient cycling across taxa and ecological ...

Limited capacity for rapid acclimation to marine heatwaves in coastal invertebrates

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Across 10 coastal invertebrate species, we provide a rare multi‐species test of rapid acclimation to realistic marine heatwaves. Responses are consistently weak, revealing that short‐term plasticity cannot keep pace with warming and may lead to underestimated vulnerability in coastal ecosystems. Abstract Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and

Rapid loss, and slow recovery, of coral reef structural complexity resulting from a prolonged marine heatwave

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using Structure‐from‐Motion photogrammetry in a longitudinal study, we show that although coral reef habitat complexity had declined significantly by the end of the most prolonged tropical marine heatwave on record, no further losses were detected and 3 years later the reef had begun to recover this critical ecosystem function.
