Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

Long-Term Fluctuations in Cetacean Occurrence Derived From Whale-Watching Platforms Off Southwest Gran Canaria: Evaluating Their Potential as an Ecological Indicator. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUsing an 18‐year dataset of whale‐watching observations from Gran Canaria (Canary Islands), we analysed long‐term temporal dynamics of cetacean communities in the subtropical Atlantic. Standardised sightings per unit effort (SPUE) revealed strong seasonal patterns, multi‐year fluctuations and species‐specific responses to environmental variability ...

Network indices show heat wave‐induced fragility in experimental food webs: Operational insights for ecosystem management [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Emerging global change imposes challenges for marine ecosystems placing them at the verge of collapse. The identification of early signs of ecosystem collapse is crucial to assist adaptive management. Shifts in the ecosystems are preceded by rewiring of ecological networks.
