Unravelling Hidden Trophic Interactions Among Sea Urchin Juveniles and Macroinvertebrates by DNA Amplification. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Rocky reefs may shift between two distinct stable states: productive algal forests, characterised by high abundance and biodiversity of macrofauna, and impoverished barrens, dominated by overgrazing sea urchins. Barren states may persist despite the recovery of adult sea urchin predators, suggesting additional stabilising mechanisms.

sexual shape dimorphism of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) (Decapoda, Ucididae) accessed through geometric morphometric. [PDF]

ScientificWorldJournal, 2014
Sexual dimorphism is often observed in Crustaceans. Considering the great diversity of this subphylum, only few reports are found in the literature and most are mainly based on traditional morphometry. The present study uses geometric morphometrics analysis to identify sexual dimorphism by shape variation in the overexploited semiterrestrial crab ...

An Epifaunal Community Succession Sequence Driven by the Biogeochemical Footprint With Different Methane Seepage Intensity of the Deep Seafloor

Earth's Future, Volume 11, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Methane seepage, generated from natural processes or gas hydrate dissociation, drives the development of cold seep ecosystems and leads to atmosphere methane emission, thereby influencing climate change. Uncovering the intrinsic interactions among methane seepage intensities, biogeochemical processes in the sediment, and benthic community ...

Hierarchical drivers of cryptic biodiversity on coral reefs

Ecological Monographs, Volume 93, Issue 3, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Declines in habitat structural complexity have marked ecological outcomes, as currently observed in many of the world's ecosystems. Coral reefs have provided a model for such changes in marine ecosystems; still our understanding has been centered on corals and fishes at broad spatial scales when metazoan diversity on coral reefs is dominated ...
