Local Conditions and Environmental Gradients Shape the Abundance and Size Structure of a Non‐Native Intertidal Species in Atlantic North America [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Variation in abundance and size along environmental gradients provides insights into the capacity of species to adapt to changing environmental conditions and predict range expansions, this being particularly relevant for non‐native species.

Spatial diversity and habitat characteristics of seagrass meadows with management recommendations in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, a geographically remote region, harbor a diverse island ecosystem. Limited exploration has hindered our understanding of marine floral biodiversity in this area.

Behavioral repertoire of high‐shore littorinid snails reveals novel adaptations to an extreme environment

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Species that inhabit high‐shore environments on rocky shores survive prolonged periods of emersion and thermal stress. Using two Hong Kong high‐shore littorinids (Echinolittorina malaccana and E.

Missing the Forest and the Trees: Utility, Limits and Caveats for Drone Imaging of Coastal Marine Ecosystems

Remote Sensing, 2021
Coastal marine ecosystems are under stress, yet actionable information about the cumulative effects of human impacts has eluded ecologists. Habitat-forming seaweeds in temperate regions provide myriad irreplaceable ecosystem services, but they are ...

Mass Mortality of Foundation Species on Rocky Shores: Testing a Methodology for a Continental Monitoring Program

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Global concern around substantial losses of biodiversity has led to the development of a number of monitoring programs. Networks were established to obtain appropriate data on the spatial and temporal variation of marine species on rocky shores. Recently,

Population genomic analyses reveal hybridization and marked differences in genetic structure of Scurria limpet sister species with parapatric distributions across the South Eastern Pacific

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The study of sister species that occur in parapatry around biogeographic transition zones can help understand the evolutionary processes that underlie the changes in species composition across biogeographic transition zones.
