Estuaries are especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change because changes in
climatic and hydrologic variables that influence freshwater and marine systems will also …

Knowledge of global patterns of biodiversity and regulating variables is indispensable to
develop predictive models. The present study used predictive modelling approaches to …

For many years, estuarine science has been the 'poor relation'in aquatic research–
freshwater scientists ignored estuaries as they tended to get confused by salt and tides, and …

Many estuarine and coastal marine ecosystems have increasingly experienced degradation
caused by multiple stressors. Anthropogenic pressures alter natural ecosystems and the …

This chapter provides an overview of the main drivers of change in estuarine systems, their
expected causes and impacts on estuarine fish and fisheries. An analysis of global, regional …

Estuaries are subjected to multiple anthropogenic stressors, which have additive,
antagonistic or synergistic effects. Current challenges include the use of large databases of …

Ichthyoplankton monitoring is crucial for stock assessments, offering insights into spawning
grounds, stock size, seasons, recruitment, and changes in regional ichthyofauna. This study …

The Water Framework Directive requires the assessment of the ecological status of
transitional waters considering the fish component. An original methodology, based on a …

Assessing trait–environment relationships is crucial for predicting effects of natural and
human‐induced environmental change on biota. We compiled a global database of fish …

Based on a large standardised data set, the present study proposed a meta-analysis to
describe general patterns in the functional diversity of estuarine fish assemblage in terms of …
