This chapter reviews the current knowledge of the marine (including deep-sea species) and
freshwater fishes of the Gulf of Guinea oceanic islands. Some biogeographic and …

The oceanic islands of the Gulf of Guinea (Príncipe, São Tomé, and Annobón) are an
exceptional centre of endemism for fiora and fauna. Remarkable progress has been made in …

Species abundance, diversity and community assemblage structure are determined by
multiple physical, habitat and management drivers that operate across multiple spatial …

Many species drive the diversity of ecosystems by adding structural complexity to the
environment. In coral reefs, stony corals act as habitat-forming species, increasing niche …

The tropical Octopus insularis is a shallow-water species widely distributed in the western
Atlantic. Recent studies of niche models have identified suitable habitats for its settlement …

The combination of the physical structural heterogeneity of the environment, oceanographic
characteristics, and the benthic assemblage composition structures the habitat …

The benthic assemblage of reefs provides an important resource of food and habitat for reef
fishes. However, how benthic composition mediates reef fishes' biotic interactions at isolated …

Accurate map** of marine benthic habitats, using acoustic technologies such as Side-
Scan Sonar (SSS), is a useful tool for marine conservation and management, as well as to …
