Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...
