Climate change has significant impacts on marine ecosystems, resulting in disruptions biological interactions, shifts community composition, and changes the physiology of fish other organisms. In this study conducted central Mediterranean Sea, mean temperature catch (MTC) was employed as an indicator to investigate climatological factors influencing community. The MTC, which utilizes species-preferred temperatures, calculated using bottom (BT) data weighted against scientific catches....
Abstract Climate change is swiftly reshaping marine ecosystems, affecting different biological levels. Changes in thermal conditions profoundly influence ectotherms’ growth, behaviour, and functions, making knowledge of species’ preferences (TP) crucial for understanding their responses to ongoing warming. However, obtaining this data challenging due limited studies, especially deep-sea demersal bottom-dwelling species. Here, we present the MedFaunaTP dataset, a collection survey-based TPs...
Anthropogenic and biotic disturbances have the potential to interact, generating cumulative impacts on animal movement or, alternatively, counterbalancing or masking each other. Despite their importance, those interactions not been investigated thoroughly. Our study aimed fill this knowledge gap by assessing combined effects of a human activity—that is, military exercises—and disturbance—that insect harassment—on rates free-ranging semidomesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus). From...
<title>Abstract</title> Ten years (2013–2022) of official data on elasmobranchs landed and discarded by European fishing fleets operating in the Mediterranean Sea were analysed with primary objective assessing significance shark ray catches for main fleet segments across five regions (i.e. Western, Central Eastern Mediterranean, Ionian Sea, Adriatic Sea). The annual elasmobranch ranged from 3,200 to 5,800 tons, declining consistently 2020 2022. Four gears bottom trawls, longlines, trammel...
