Marine bioconstructions are biodiversity-rich, three-dimensional biogenic structures,
regulating key ecological functions of benthic ecosystems worldwide. Tropical coral reefs …

In this review we assess the state of knowledge for the coralline algae of the Mediterranean
Sea, a group of calcareous seaweeds imperfectly known and considered highly vulnerable …

Evaluating the factors that drive patterns of population differentiation in plants is critical for
understanding several biological processes such as local adaptation and incipient …

Cultivated beets (Beta vulgari s ssp. vulgaris), including sugar beet, rank among the most
important crops. The wild ancestor of beet crops is the sea beet Beta vulgaris ssp. maritima …

Gene flow governs the contemporary spatial structure and dynamic of populations as well as
their long-term evolution. For species that disperse using atmospheric or oceanic flows …

Small pelagic fish (SPF) in the western Mediterranean Sea are key elements of the marine
food web and are important in terms of biomass and fisheries catches. Significant declines in …

Metabarcoding is by now a well‐established method for biodiversity assessment in
terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments. Metabarcoding data sets are usually used …

Abstract The Egyptian Mediterranean coast (EMC) receives a considerable quantity of
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs from EMC sediments were assessed to …

The effect of recent land development of the western side of the Egyptian Mediterranean
coast on the fates, behaviors, interactions, and ecotoxicology of surfactant (LAS), F, Br, B …

The influence of species life history traits and historical demography on contemporary
connectivity is still poorly understood. However, these factors partly determine the …
