Seagrasses like Posidonia oceanica provide a wide range of benefits for the ocean and planet. Efforts in conservation restoration have increased last 20 years to preserve P. meadows; plenty works been conducted develop planting actions as way offset regression this seagrass Mediterranean Sea. We here compile information on these studies make bibliographic review. The review results showed that seedlings grow better dead matte rock covered with algae calm waters moderate depths. highlighted...
Biodiversity can increase in both high‐ and low‐connected landscapes. However, we lack predictions related to biodiversity dynamics when accounting for the temporal heterogeneity connections among habitats of a landscape. Here, study relationship between fluctuations landscape connectivity at local regional scales. We contrast about species richness landscapes with without connectivity. Our results show that (α) ( γ ) together dynamic characterized by periodic connectivity, clarifying...
Atmospheric deposition of desert dust and other aerosols influence on the open ocean ecosystem climate. These provide iron, phosphorus bio-essential trace elements, which affect composition growth phytoplankton, generating new organic matter that is distributed across food web. Although this process has an impact upper trophic levels fisheries, direct evidence lacking. Skipjack tropical tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) most important commercial in Atlantic, main stocks occur subtropical North-East...
Human-driven fragmentation of natural habitats increasingly threatens biodiversity, particularly in coastal ecosystems like seagrass meadows. Fragmentation breaks continuous into smaller, isolated patches, amplifying edge effects and disrupting community structures ecosystem functions. This study examines the habitat on large (> 1 mm) small (0.2–1 epifauna, as well infauna, within eelgrass (Zostera marina) meadows along Skagerrak coast western Sweden. We assessed faunal responses across...
The spectrum of species diversity (SDi) can be broken down into αSDi (taxocene level), βSDi (community and γSDi (metacommunity level). Species richness (S) Shannon's index (H) are well-known SDi measures. use S as a surrogate for often neglects evenness (J). Additionally, there is wide variety indicators SDi. However, no reliable theoretical criteria selecting the most appropriate despite undeniable empirical usefulness this parameter. This situation probably due to analytical gap still...
Abstract The common octopus ( Octopus vulgaris , Cuvier 1797) is a promising species for aquaculture diversification, but the massive mortality during first life stage main bottleneck its commercial production. aim of present study was to compare effects different live preys Artemia and crustacean zoeae) and/or enrichment protocols in paralarval growth by using meta‐analysis approach. A total 26 independent assays were used, including data from bibliography experiments carried out our group....
Abstract Global change has profound effects on marine species, communities, and ecosystems. Among these impacts, small pelagics have emerged as valuable indicators for detecting regime shifts in fish stocks. They exhibit swift responses to changes ocean variables, including decreased abundances, accelerated juvenile growth rates, early maturation, reduced adult sizes warm waters. However, each pelagic species occupies a unique local ecological niche, that reflects the sum of all...
Seagrass meadows perform essential ecosystem functions and services.Though the are globally deteriorating, numerous regressions remain unreported as a result of data fragmentation.Cymodocea nodosa is most important seagrass in shallow coastal waters Canary Islands.No study has so far investigated temporal population trends at entire archipelago scale.Using collected past 23 years by local companies, public authorities research groups, Cymodocea were analysed over two decades scales islands,...
SUMMARY Traditionally, islands have been used as ecological and biogeographical models because of their assumed simplicity, reduced ecosystem size isolation. The vast number Earth's oceanic play a key role in maintaining global biodiversity serve rich source evolutionary novelty. Research into the factors determining diversity patterns on must disentangle natural phenomena from anthropogenic causes habitat transformation, interruption enhancement biological fluxes species losses gains these...
An assessment of vertical distribution, diel migration, taxonomic and functional diversity fishes was carried out at offshore platforms in The (Arabian–Iranian–Persian) Gulf. Video footage recorded the Al Shaheen oil field between 2007 2014 using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). A total 12 822 individual fishes, from 83 groups were around platforms. All species identified are considered native to Gulf, although Cyclichthys orbicularis Lutjanus indicus for first time Qatari waters. Several...
Ocean circulation, geological history, geographic distance, and seascape heterogeneity play an important role in phylogeography of coral-dependent fishes. Here, we investigate potential genetic population structure within the yellowbar angelfish (Pomacanthus maculosus) across Northwestern Indian (NIO). We then discuss our results with respect to above abiotic features order understand contemporary distribution diversity species. To do so, restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq)...
In this study, two new alternative preys: Grapsus adscensionis zoeae (as sole prey) and Palaemon elegans (in cofeeding with Artemia sp.), as well as, sp. juveniles were used feed for octopus paralarvae, a way to understand its lipid requirements. Total (TL) content, class (LC) fatty acid (FA) profiles of preys, hatchlings 9-day-old paralarvae analysed. Growth survival the also determined. Regardless prey provided, notable shift in profile was registered after 9 days rearing. The highest...
