Seagrass meadows are disappearing at rates comparable to those reported for mangroves,
coral reefs, and tropical rainforests. One of the main causes of their decline is the so-called …

In the last three decades, quantitative approaches that rely on organism traits instead of
taxonomy have advanced different fields of ecological research through establishing the …

The “Aquatic Animal Nutrition” book series focuses on biological subjects: fishes and aquatic
invertebrates, which are also subjects of basic biological research. The aspect of protein …

Habitat loss is jeopardizing marine biodiversity. In the Mediterranean Sea, the algal forests
of Cystoseira spp. form one of the most complex, productive and vulnerable shallow-water …

The knowledge of the production and carbon transference dynamics between adjacent
communities is essential to gain a better understanding on the role of coastal areas in the …

Eutrophication is one of the main threats to seagrass meadows, but there is limited
knowledge on the interactive effects of nutrients under a changing climate, particularly for …

The success of invasive macrophytes can depend on local nutrient availability and
consumer pressure, which may interact. We therefore experimentally investigated the …

Seagrasses are key marine foundation species, currently declining due to the compounded
action of global and regional anthropogenic stressors. Eutrophication has been associated …

While attention in coastal ecosystem restoration has increased over the last two decades,
the success rate of efforts remains relatively low. To increase success rates, physical …

Seagrass-herbivore interactions play a principal role in regulating the structure and function
of coastal food webs, which were affected by nutrient enrichment. Seawater nutrient …
