As the rate of global change increases, the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems,
including the food webs that underpin them, will radically alter. Forecasting the …

A focus of community ecology is the spatial distribution of species assemblages and the
interactions among species and abiotic features of the environment. While the ubiquity of …

Submerged macrophytes and biofilms are important components of wetlands. However, little
is known about the changes of microbes in biofilms attached to submerged macrophytes …

In this manuscript we define a new term we call coastal groundwater discharge (CGD),
which is related to submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), but occurs when seawater …

The relationship between ecological impact and ecosystem structure is often strongly
nonlinear, so that small increases in impact levels can cause a disproportionately large …

A survey on the epiphytic microorganisms growing on Posidonia oceanica leaves was
conducted along a depth transect along the coast of Eastern Tunisia (Mahdia). Samples …

Marine macrophytes (macroalgae, seagrasses, and mangroves) comprise thousands of
species distributed in shallow water areas along the world's coastlines. They play a key role …

This paper synthesizes research conducted dusring the first 5–6 years of the Florida Coastal
Everglades Long-Term Ecological Research Program (FCE LTER). My objectives are to …

Amphipods are one of the dominant epifaunal groups in seagrass meadows. However, our
understanding of the biogeographical patterns in the distribution of these small crustaceans …

We evaluated how changes in nutrient supply altered the composition of epiphytic and
benthic microalgal communities in a Thalassia testudinum (turtle grass) bed in Florida Bay …
