Abstract New monitoring technologies are being progressively implemented in open-ocean and coastal observatories. The Mediterranean Sea is a well-known, reduced-scale ocean, an ideal natural laboratory to study global ocean processes, particular those associated with meso- submesoscale variability, interactions mean flows ecosystem response. SOCIB, the Balearic Islands Coastal Ocean Observing Forecasting System, one of such observatories, multiplatform distributed integrated system, facility...
Seascape ecology, the marine-centric counterpart to landscape is rapidly emerging as an interdisciplinary and spatially explicit ecological science with relevance marine management, biodiversity conservation, restoration. While important progress in this field has been made past decade, there no coherent prioritisation of key research questions help set future agenda for seascape ecology. We used a 2-stage modified Delphi method solicit applied from academic experts ecology then asked...

Life-history traits such as spawning migrations and timing of reproduction are adaptations to specific environmental constraints seasonal cycles in many organisms' annual routines. In this study we analyse how offspring fitness constrains phenology a large migratory apex predator, the Atlantic bluefin tuna. The reproductive schedule tuna varies between sites, suggesting plasticity local conditions. Generally, temperature is considered be main constraint on phenology. We combine evidence from...

According to their main life history traits, organisms can be arranged in a continuum from fast (species with small body size, short lifespan and high fecundity) slow opposite characteristics). Life determines the responses of natural anthropogenic factors, as species are expected more sensitive than perturbations.

The spatial distribution of Pinna nobilis densities have been analysed through a geostatistical approach in the MPA Cabrera National Park, Balearic Islands (Spain), Western Mediterranean Sea. Regression kriging was used to model effect environmental variables on density living individuals P. and generate predictive map its within MPA. considered for were: depth; slope; habitat type heterogeneity; wave exposure; zoning. A total 378 transects were randomly distributed with 149,000 m2 surveyed...
Tuna spawns in some of the warmest and most oligotrophic areas worldwide. At same time, starvation is often considered main source mortality for fish larvae. Here we assess if plankton availability sufficient to sustain high growth potential tuna (Thunnus thynnus) larvae a major spawning ground warm Mediterranean Sea.

Populations of the same species can experience different responses to environment throughout their distributional range as a result spatial and temporal heterogeneity in habitat conditions. This highlights importance understanding processes governing distribution at local scales. However, research on often averages environmental covariates across large geographic areas, missing variability population-environment interactions within geographically distinct regions. We used spatially explicit...
Seascape ecology is an emerging discipline focused on understanding how features of the marine habitat influence spatial distribution species. However, there still a gap in development concepts and techniques for its application pelagic realm, where are no clear boundaries delimitating habitats. Here we demonstrate that seascape metrics defined as combination hydrographic variables their gradients calculated at appropriate scale, improve our ability to model fish distribution. We apply...

Fish condition indices can be used as biological indicators of the health individuals and are influenced by numerous external internal drivers. Like most essential traits, they very sensitive to spatial heterogeneity occurring in marine ecosystems, which appears at many observational scales. This brings out different ecological processes that only revealed either regionally or locally. The scale‐dependent variability concerns not environmental factors, but also anthropogenic activities such...
