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.

Marine Biology, 1992 6 páginas, 4 figuras, 4 tablas. The association between sponges and the crab Inachus aguiarii Brito Capello, 1876 was studied by analysing the relationships between sponge distributional patterns on the crab carapaces and several morphological and biological crab parameters.

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.

Sargassum polyceratium (Phaeophyceae, Fucaceae) surface molecule activity towards fouling organisms and embryonic development of benthic species [PDF]
, 2011 International audienceCoral reefs have undergone profound ecological changes over recent decades. Areas formerly covered by scleractinian coral species are now often overgrown by macroalgae.

Chemical Defence of a Seagrass against Microfoulers and Its Seasonal Dynamics
Applied Sciences, 2019 In marine environments bacterial microfoulers are an important determinant for the settlement of algal and animal macrofoulers. At the same time fouling is usually subject to seasonal fluctuation.

Decreased depth distribution of Fucus vesiculosus (Phaeophyceae) in the Western Baltic: effects of light deficiency and epibionts on growth and photosynthesis [PDF]
, 2008 For many coastal areas of the world, a decrease in abundance and depth penetration of perennial macroalgae and seagrasses has been documented and attributed to eutrophication.

Isolated thallus-associated compounds from the macroalga Fucus vesiculosus mediate bacterial surface colonization in the field similar to that on the natural alga [PDF]
, 2010 This study investigated whether surface-associated compounds isolated from the macroalga Fucus vesiculosus had the potential to mediate microbial and/or macrobial epibiosis similar to that on the natural alga.
