Seasonal grazing and food preference of herbivores in a Posidonia oceanica meadow
Scientia Marina, 2001 Seasonal grazing of the fish Sarpa salpa (L.), the urchin Paracentrotus lividus Lamarck and the isopods Idotea spp. was compared with the C/N ratio of adult and intermediate leaves and epiphytes of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile, collected at three ...

Identification and characterization of PlAlix, the Alix homologue from the Mediterranean sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. [PDF]
, 2013 The sea urchin provides a relatively simple and tractable system for analyzing the early stages of embryo development. Here, we use the sea urchin species, Paracentrotus lividus, to investigate the role of Alix in key stages of embryogenesis, namely the ...

Sedimentology and geomorphology of tufa barrages on rock coast shore platforms
Sedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 2173-2200, December 2025.ABSTRACT Despite tufa deposits being widely distributed and increasingly recognised globally on rock coasts, their distribution in the tidal frame and geomorphology is poorly understood. The distribution, sedimentology and geomorphology of tufa barrages on supratidal rock coasts are assessed and their controls established.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.We investigated the long‐term effects of ocean acidification on reproduction and early development in the Mediterranean gastropod Hexaplex trunculus. While low pH did not affect spawning or reproductive output, it significantly delayed larval development and reduced the likelihood of reaching hatching, especially when parents were preconditioned to ...

Determination of developmental stages of embryo in the sea urchin, Echinometra mathaei [PDF]
, 2012 Sea Urchin is one of the most useful tools in developmental biology studies because this organism has the simplest kind of developmental stages. We aimed to determine developmental stages and timetable of Echinometra mathaei embryo (the species of ...
