Metabarcoding techniques have revolutionized ecological research in recent years, facilitating the differentiation of cryptic species and revealing previously hidden diversity. In current scenario climate change ocean acidification, biodiversity loss is one main threats to marine ecosystems. Here, we explored effects acidification on benthic communities using DNA metabarcoding assess diversity algae metazoans. Specifically, examined natural pH gradient generated by Fuencaliente CO 2 vent...
Introduction: The coral reefs of Isla del Coco National Park are some the most pristine ecosystems on Earth. sea urchin Diadema mexicanum (Diadematoida: Diadematidae) is a common inhabitant with pivotal role in ecology this unique ecosystem.
 Objective: In study, we identified predominant predators D. and estimated predatory consumption rates. We also determined predation rates at different sizes sites contrasting refuge availability.
 Methods: use field video recording...
The islet of Lobos (Canary Islands) located in the Bocaina Strait, between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, has unique characteristics due to its location. Our work consisted sampling abundance invertebrate species on three intertidal zones different sides as well analyzing sizes most representative species. Sampling was carried out using 10 x 2-meter transects, 1 1-meter quadrats only for crabs. A total 26 belonging 6 phyla were recorded. analysis richness communities revealed a significant...
ABSTRACT Drilling predation on echinoids (sea urchins) has been known to occur in marine ecosystems since the Jurassic Period; however, it rarely studied existing species. Tests of irregular sea urchin Brissus unicolor (Leske, 1778), which frequently occurs shallow substrates Canary Islands, mostly show very evident perforations through their skeletons. The aim this study was describe characteristics these order determine possible origins as well document size, site selectivity, and...
