Caratterizzazione fisiografica, geomorfologica e bionomica della Rias di Santa Teresa di Gallura: Sardegna nord-orientale = Physiographic, geomorphological and bionomic characterization of the Santa Teresa di Gallura Rias (N.E. Sardinia) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
An underwater survey in the Rias of S. Teresa di Gallura was made to characterize the benthic environment by integrating three methods: Side Scan Sonar, ROV, SCUBA diving. The main bionomic features at different depths were described and mapped.

Mesophotic thermal refuge modelling shows mitigated reductions in fisheries productivity during marine heatwaves

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
The oceans are warming, and marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency, extremity and duration. As ectotherms, fish that experience temperatures above their optimum suffer a host of physiological and demographic impacts, which result in a net negative ...

Persistence of pristine deep-sea coral gardens in the Mediterranean Sea (SW Sardinia) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Leiopathes glaberrima is a tall arborescent black coral species structuring important facies of the deep-sea rocky bottoms of the Mediterranean Sea that are severely stifled by fishing activities. At present, however, no morphological in vivo description,

Biological Effects of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil in Surface and Deep Ocean Species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Beginning with the use of industrial-strength detergents, dispersing agents have been employed in spill response for decades. The Corexit series of agents in common use today generally consist of non-ionic and/or anionic surfactants in a solvent base ...

Biogeographic variation in the microbiome of the ecologically important sponge, Carteriospongia foliascens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Sponges are well known for hosting dense and diverse microbial communities, but how these associations vary with biogeography and environment is less clear.

Nocturnal fish chorusing activity in the central Red Sea mesophotic reef zone and adjacent shallow sites

open access: yesFrontiers in Remote Sensing
Through sharing characteristics of chorus activity, especially in regions that are particularly data deficient, we can aim at a broader, global understanding of fish chorusing and consequently important spatiotemporal changes in habitat use by schooling ...

Fish ecology of mesophotic coral ecosystems

open access: yes, 2017
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; reefs 30-150 m depth) are largely unstudied. This thesis uses the shallow reef to MCE depth gradient around Utila, Honduras, to address research questions in three themes: (i) understanding fish community ecological processes on MCEs; (ii) evaluating effective survey techniques for MCE fish research; and (iii ...
