Abstract Understanding the mechanisms responsible for stability and persistence of ecosystems is one greatest challenges in ecology. Robert May showed that, contrary to intuition, complex randomly built are less likely be stable than simpler ones. Few attempts have been tried test May’s prediction empirically, we still ignore what actual complexity–stability relationship natural ecosystems. Here perform a analysis 116 quantitative food webs sampled worldwide. We find that classic descriptors...
Ongoing climate warming is causing a dramatic loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, and it projected that Ocean will become seasonally ice-free by 2040. Many studies local food webs now exist, with this review paper we aim to synthesize these into large-scale assessment current status knowledge on structure various marine their response change, sea-ice retreat particular. Key drivers ecosystem change potential consequences for functioning are identified along gradient, special emphasis...
Dispersal is a key process in metacommunity dynamics, allowing the maintenance of diversity complex community networks. Geographic distance usually used as surrogate for connectivity implying that communities are closely located considered more prone to exchange individuals than distant communities. However, some natural systems, organisms may be subjected directional dispersal (air or water flows, particular landscape configuration), possibly leading close isolated from each other and...
The Northwest Atlantic cod stocks collapsed in the early 1990s and have yet to recover, despite subsequent establishment of a continuing fishing moratorium. Efforts understand collapse lack recovery so far focused mainly on dynamics commercially harvested species. Here, we use data from 33-year scientific trawl survey determine which degree signatures are apparent spatial temporal broader groundfish community. Over this period, community experienced four phases change: (i) period rapid,...
Abstract Aim Chronic anthropogenic stressors are increasing in intensity, making ecosystems more vulnerable to acute disturbances. Recovery processes not always well understood due the complexity of and lack appropriate indicators. Temporal synchrony is a valuable metric for assessing whether fluctuations abundance different species homogeneous or heterogeneous over time. Theoretically, great diversity responses by facing disturbances associated with stable ecosystem, turnover guaranteeing...
Aim. The variety of coral taxa and environmental cues triggering broadcast spawning gave rise to contrasting theories about reproduction synchrony. Here, we shine a new light on this synchrony across oceans by highlighting how modulate time at various spatial scales in an understudied yet abundant gonochoric species. Location. South Indian Pacific Oceans. Time period. 2014-2023. Major studied. Porites rus. Methods. rus daytime was investigated using non-invasive citizen science approach...
Abstract Aim Ecological connectivity is currently considered to be essential enhance biodiversity conservation efforts and benefit adjacent areas. We evaluate the spatial structure of vulnerable marine benthic invertebrate populations based on improve placement protected Location Gulf Lions, NW Mediterranean Sea. Methods used a spatially explicit metapopulation model explore how larval dispersal affects dynamics at local regional scales. Minimum recruitment success (the proportion larvae...

Coral reefs across the globe are facing threats from a variety of anthropogenic disturbances. Consequently, proportional representation live scleractinian corals in benthic community has declined substantially many regions. In contrast, parts reef ecosystem around Mo’orea (French Polynesia) have displayed remarkable rebound potential. Nevertheless, detailed studies when, where, and to what extent been disturbed subsequently recovered different habitats lacking. Using long-term monitoring...
Abstract Aim There is global consensus that marine protected areas offer a plethora of benefits to the biodiversity within and around them. Nevertheless, many organisms threatened by human impacts also find shelter in unexpected or informally places. For coral reef organisms, refuges can be tourist resorts implementing local environment‐friendly bottom‐up management strategies. We used ecosystem as model test whether such practices have positive effects on associated with de facto areas....
Abstract Trawling has been reported worldwide to alter seabed structure, and thus benthic habitats ecosystems. Usually, a decrease in species richness biomass is observed, community structure modified towards more opportunistic species. The Gulf of St Lawrence (Canada) intensely exploited since the 17th century, including net, longline, dredge trawl fishing activities. Recently, collapse groundfish stocks induced shift practices toward shrimp trawling, which currently considered sustainable...
Abstract The role of microzooplankton in waters adjacent to Australia's North West Cape (21°49′S 114°14′E) was studied during the austral summers 1997/1998 and 1998/1999. We estimated abundance biomass at a shallow (∼20 m) shelf station break (∼80 m). Microzooplankton were placed into six categories: four ciliate groups (strombidiids, strobilidiids, tintinnids, "other ciliates"), dinoflagellates, sarcodines. Total abundances ranged between 0.14×103 l−1 3.4×103 l−1. most abundant...
