The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most vulnerable ecosystems in world due to variety and severity cumulative impacts faced, including high climate risk. Species distributions are expected track niches response warming, with meridionalization (i.e. northern spread native warm-water species) as a common documented response. However, environment also highly heterogeneous structured at regional scales, constraining generalized species responses. Based on long-term monitoring data demersal...
Organism movement plays a crucial role in the transfer of genes, matter, and energy between habitats, both marine environments across land-sea interface. The numerous fluxes resulting from lifetime trans-generational displacements all species (from bacteria to whales), collectively referred as Marine Functional Connectivity (MFC), underpins planetary health diverse ecosystem services. However, awareness integration this connectivity research, management policy is still limited. Given surging...
We investigated standing stocks and grazing rates of mesozooplankton assemblages in the Costa Rica Dome (CRD), an open-ocean upwelling ecosystem eastern tropical Pacific. While phytoplankton biomass CRD is dominated by picophytoplankton (<2-µm cells) with especially high concentrations Synechococcus spp., we found (∼5 g dry weight m-2) impact (12-50% integrated water column chlorophyll a), indicative efficient food web transfer from primary producers to higher levels. In contrast relative...
Abstract Pyrosomes are an important but often overlooked component of marine zooplankton communities, with limited existing information regarding their ecological and trophic roles in pelagic ecosystems. We present the first estimates grazing interactions large tropical pyrosome, Pyrostremma spinosum , Eastern Tropical Pacific. While patchy distribution, spinosum's impact was substantial, up to 17.5% chlorophyll a standing stock d −1 certain areas. In contrast, these organisms cleared very...
Climate change mitigation depends to a large extent on economic sectors modifying their production processes significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO₂. However, emission assessments are usually excluded from management of capture fisheries. Traditionally, hake (Merluccius ssp.) has been an important food for the population Western Europe, and remains one most consumed fish in Spain's gastronomic culture. This paper reconstructs, first time, seafood chain Spain with aim...
Climate change is triggering shifts in species distribution eventually altering communities' biogeography. The composition of a community terms its species' ecological niche informs community's response to environmental conditions and impacts, which central for timely conservation. While the thermal has been widely explored, given it offers direct link warming effects on an assemblage, acknowledging multivariate nature can provide relevant insights reorganizations taking place at...
Under current levels of global warming most demersal species in the Northeast Atlantic are experiencing tropicalization, meridionalization or borealization their distributions, leading to profound changes communities. We explore these using Community Weighted Mean Temperature (CWMT), an index link thermal preference fish communities and temperature. The CWMT is calculated as summation mean temperature each distribution weighted by its relative abundance community. based on community...
Ecological resilience has become a conceptual cornerstone bridging ecological processes to conservation needs. Global change is increasingly associated with local changes in environmental conditions that can cause abrupt ecosystem reorganizations attending system-specific fluctuations time (i.e. dynamics). Here we assess dynamics climate-driven ecosystems transitions, expressed as the relevant contribution of species different life-history strategies, two benthopelagic systems. We analysed...
Abstract Regional differences in climate vulnerability are particularly important many countries with socio-ecological gradients or geographical and environmental spatial segregation. Many studies regularly performed at the national level, but regional assessments can provide more detailed information insights into intra-national vulnerabilities. They require of components that often neglected scale meaningful operational international levels. In this work, we developed a assessment (CVA) to...
Abstract Using the Bay of Biscay (BoB) as a case study, we conducted transnational assessment mean trophic level (MTL, Ospar FW4) indicator at sub-regional level, over last three decades. Our results confirm apparent recovery BoB’s bentho-demersal system, shown by trends in MTL based on survey data. However, they also point concomitant “fishing through” process where stability revealed landed catch data may be masking expansion demersal fisheries to deeper waters, and an over-exploitation...
We investigated the gelatinous carnivore zooplankton community in coastal waters of northeast Taiwan during period 2007–2010. The assemblage was composed 45 species, which only 14 appeared recurrent Taiwanese waters. Although there no clear seasonality, higher richness and abundances occurred spring autumn. Examination potential physical drivers biomass accumulation did not show any link with water mass transport; instead, peak events were associated typhoon disturbances, suggesting a...
