Around the world, human-induced collapses of populations and species have triggered a sixth mass extinction crisis, with rare often being first to disappear. Although role diversity in maintenance ecosystem processes has been widely investigated, remains controversial. A critical issue is whether common insure against loss functions supported by species. This even more species-rich ecosystems where high functional redundancy among likely it thus assumed that functioning buffered loss. Here,...
An important principle of environmental science is that changes in single components systems are likely to have consequences elsewhere the same systems. In sea, food web data one few foundations for predicting such indirect effects, whether fishery exploitation or following recovery marine protected areas (MPAs). We review available literature on type interaction benthic ecosystems, namely trophic cascades, which involve three more levels connected by predation. Because many effects been...
Removal of important predators by fishing can result in trophic cascades and indirect effects on marine benthic communities. Indirect are especially evident when prey populations released from predation have the ability to modify entire communities as do sea urchins Sea been shown dramatically alter underwater landscape grazing, converting stands large erect algae into coralline barrens. In western Mediterranean, a recent extension barrens areas formerly dominated algal assemblages has...
This paper addresses the following question: how does one relate biological and behavioral characteristics of animals to habitat locations at which they are found? Ecologists often assemble data on species composition different localities, descriptions these or traits species. These tables usually analyzed two by two: against characteristics, data, using such methods as canonical analysis. We propose a solution problem estimating parameters describing relationship between biology behavior,...
Abstract An important provision of the Minamata Convention on Mercury is to monitor and evaluate effectiveness adopted measures its implementation. Here, we describe for first time currently available biotic mercury (Hg) data a global scale improve understanding efforts reduce impact Hg pollution people environment. Data from peer-reviewed literature were compiled in Global Biotic Synthesis (GBMS) database (>550,000 points). These provide foundation establishing biomonitoring framework...
Following the symposium held in June 1984 at Port Cros, methods of underwater observation fish communities and populations are critically reviewed. Particular emphasis is laid upon possible causes bias, ways circumventing them. Given some necessary precautions adequate training, within definite limits, observations counts can produce highly reliable results, not obtainable by «blind» techniques. Some examples given, based personal experiences participants, both Mediterranean Indo-Pacific.

This synopsis focuses on the effects of climate change Mediterranean seagrasses, and associated communities, contribution main species, Posidonia oceanica, to mitigation through its role sequestering carbon dioxide. Whilst regression seagrass meadows is well documented, generally linked anthropogenic pressures, global warming could be a cause new significant regressions, notably introduction exotic rise Sea-Surface Temperature (SST), relative sea level. Seagrass communities also affected by...

Biotic indices, which reflect the quality of environment, are widely used in marine realm. Sometimes, key species or ecosystem engineers selected for this purpose. This is case Mediterranean seagrass Posidonia oceanica, as a biological element context European Union Water Framework Directive (WFD). The good water body and apparent health species, whether not an engineer such P. always indicative structure functioning whole ecosystem. A point recent Marine Strategy (MSFD) ecosystem-based...
Abstract. Fishes associated with the seagrass Posidonia oceanica were censused both by skid trawl and visual counts around Ischia Island, Italy. Both sampling procedures performed during day in summer winter at two sites. Significant differences number of species, individuals, biomass, trophic structure fish assemblage observed between methods. Fewer species recorded than trawling. More individuals a greater however, from counts. The population macrocarnivores (Scorpaenidae, Serranidae)...
Diets of three scorpaenid fishes, Scorpaena notata, S. porcus and scrofa , from a Posidonia seagrass bed off Marseilles were quantitatively analysed categorized according to the size sex individuals, elucidate diel seasonal rhythms. All preyed on same crustacean fish species, but in different proportions: notata mostly fed Caridae, brachyurans fishes. Individual period main factors responsible for diet variation food partitioning that evolved both cyclic (temporal) continuous (ontogenic)...
