Predation and epibiosis on egg capsules of the Shorttail fanskate, Sympterygia brevicaudata
Revista de Biología Marina y Oceanografía, 2022 After deposition, chondrichthyan egg capsules are frequently exposed to numerous threats that affect their survival. However, the ecological factors affecting the development and survival of embryos inside egg capsules remain unclear. The aims of this study was to quantify and describe two ecological factors that affect of the Shorttail fanskate ...

Molecular responses of seaweeds to biotic interactions: A systematic review
Journal of Phycology, Volume 60, Issue 5, Page 1036-1057, October 2024.Abstract Seaweed farming is the single largest aquaculture commodity with >30 million tonnes produced each year. Furthermore, the restoration of lost seaweed forests is gaining significant momentum, particularly for kelps in warming temperate areas. Whether in aquaculture settings, following restoration practices, or in the wild, all seaweeds undergo ...

Systematics and character evolution of capitate hydrozoans
Cladistics, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 107-134, April 2024.Abstract Capitate hydrozoans are a morphologically and ecologically diverse hydrozoan suborder, currently including about 200 species. Being grouped in two clades, Corynida and Zancleida, these hydrozoans still show a number of taxonomic uncertainties at the species, genus and family levels.

Global introductions and environmental impacts of freshwater megafish
Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2024.Of the 134 extant freshwater megafish species, 46% have been introduced outside of their native ranges. Over 50% of the alien megafish species with sufficient data to evaluate the severity of their environmental impacts have caused population declines or even extirpations of native species.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2024.Abstract Marine habitat‐forming (MHF) species in the Mediterranean are among the most threatened coastal species by human activities. In recent decades, different stressors (e.g., warming‐induced marine heatwaves and algal blooms) have caused mass mortality events in these key species.

Global status, impacts, and management of rocky temperate mesophotic ecosystems
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.Abstract The ecology and function of rocky temperate mesophotic ecosystems (TMEs) remain poorly understood globally despite their widespread distribution. They typically occur at 20–150 m (the limit of photosynthesis), and on rocky substratum they support rich benthic communities and mobile fauna.

Parasitism and epibiosis in native and non‐native gammarids in freshwater in Ireland
Ecography, 1998 The introduced amphipod crustaceans Gammarus pulex and G. tigrinus are displacing the native G. ducheni celticus in a number of freshwater sites in Northern Ireland. We investigated parasite and epibiont infection
