Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens

Oikos, EarlyView.
Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

Study of the efficacy of different diets for growing sea urchin "Paracentrotus lividus" [PDF]

, 2015
[Resumen] Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816) es una especie de erizo de mar que se encuentra ampliamente distribuida a lo largo de la costa gallega. Su interés comercial en Galicia se ha visto incrementado en los últimos años y, como consecuencia de ...

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

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 ...

Cabomba caroliniana and Schoenoplectus californicus as Antifouling Candidates: Anti‐Attachment and Toxicological Effects in Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 356-372, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

Morphometric relationships and annual gonad index of the edible Sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus from North Western Sardinia = Relazioni morfometriche e indice gonadico annuale del riccio di mare commestibile Paracentrotus lividus nel nord ovest Sardegna [PDF]

, 2006
Weight/diameter, weight/height and height/diameter morphometric relationships were calculated for a shallow rocky Paracentrotus lividus population sampled monthly near Alghero (Italy) from November 2004 to October 2005.

Cadmium induces the expression of specific stress proteins in sea urchin embryos [PDF]

, 2004
Marine organisms are highly sensitive to many environmental stresses, and consequently, the analysis of their bio-molecular responses to different stress agents is very important for the understanding of putative repair mechanisms.

Cost of parasite exposure depends on host ontogeny 寄生接觸的代價依賴於宿主發育階段

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 592-603, June 2026.
The cost of parasite exposure varies across host developmental stages, demonstrating that ontogeny influences the expression of non‐consumptive effects (NCEs). Mite exposure resulted in consumptive effects in fly eggs and NCEs in early‐stage pupae; mite longevity was comparable when provisioned with pupae or water but increased when provisioned with ...

Temporal fluctuations in seawater pCO2 may be as important as mean differences when determining physiological sensitivity in natural systems [PDF]

, 2016
Most studies assessing the impactsofocean acidification (OA) onbenthic marine invertebrates have used stable mean pH/pCO2 levelsto highlight variation in the physiological sensitivities in a range of taxa.
