Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Shallow-Water Coral Communities Support the Separation of Marine Ecoregions on the West-Central Florida Gulf Coast

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Florida’s west coast is a 170,000 km2 bedrock shelf (west Florida shelf, WFS) comprised of north-south discontinuous carbonate outcroppings extending more than 200 km from the intertidal zone to a depth of 200 m.

The impacts of physical processes on oxygen variations in the North Sea-Baltic Sea transition zone [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science, 2012
The bottom water of the North Sea–Baltic Sea transition zone suffers from seasonal hypoxia, usually during late summer and autumn. These hypoxic events are critical for the benthic ecosystems and the concentration of dissolved oxygen is an important ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Effects of waste waters on benthic macrofauna of sandy beaches in Todos Santos Bay

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 1992
The seasonal study of the benthic macrofauna in Todos Santos Bay shows the effects of waste waters on the benthic communities of the intertidal zone. The analysis of the data separates the fauna into two main associations: one made up of the populations

Bioregionalization in a data-poor situation: Mapping of Uruguayan marine benthic regions

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionThe Uruguayan Exclusive Economic Zone (U-EEZ) is still lacking a technically sound and institutionally agreed system for classifying marine benthic ecosystems. This fact, added to the growing anthropic pressure marine ecosystems face in the U-

Influence of shellfish farming activities on nitrification, nitrate reduction to ammonium and denitrification at the water-sediment interface of the Thau lagoon, France [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The seasonal patterns of nitrification, denitrification and dissimilatory ammonium production (DAP) rates were studied in the sediment of 2 stations in the Thau lagoon (south of France).

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Recovery at Morvin: SERPENT final report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Recovery from disturbance is poorly understood in deep water, but the extent of anthropogenic impacts is becoming increasingly well documented. We used Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) to visually assess the change in benthic habitat after exploratory ...
