Effects of Glyphosate Application on Physiologically Integrated Clones of the Invasive Plant Carpobrotus edulis
(MDPI, 2022-01-12)
[Abstract] Management of invasive alien species is a high priority for biodiversity conservation. Here, we studied the effects of glyphosate application, at 0.06 g/m2 concentration, on physiologically integrated basal and ...
Understanding the Local Drivers of Beta-Diversity Patterns Under Climate Change: The Case of Seaweed Communities in Galicia, North West of the Iberian Peninsula
(Wiley, 2021-07-02)
[Abstract] Aim: To understand spatial-temporal changes (beta-diversity) in coastal communities and their drivers in the context of climate change. Coastal ecosystems are extremely exposed and dynamic, where changes in ...
Temperate Kelp Forest Collapse by Fish Herbivory: A Detailed Demographic Study
(Frontiers, 2022-01-31)
[Abstract] Kelps dominate rocky shores in temperate latitudes, acting as important foundation species. Recently, kelp forests have received growing attention for their decline around the world. Climate change is one of the ...
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Identify Priority Areas for the Monitoring of a Vulnerable Family of Fishes in Spanish Marine National Parks
(Springer Nature, 2021-01-21)
[Abstract]
Background: Syngnathid fishes (Actinopterygii, Syngnathidae) are flagship species strongly associated with seaweed and seagrass habitats. Seahorses and pipefishes are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic and ...
Small but strong: Socioeconomic and ecological resilience of a small European fishing community affected by a submarine volcanic eruption
(Elsevier, 2022-03-28)
[Abstract] Small-scale coastal fishing communities are facing many new challenges, such as rapid ecological changes created by anthropogenic and natural events like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. This paper explores ...
Structure and Trophic Niches in Mobile Epifauna Assemblages Associated With Seaweeds and Habitats of Syngnathid Fishes in Cíes Archipelago (Atlantic Islands Marine National Park, North West Iberia)
(Frontiers, 2021-11-11)
[Abstract] Syngnathids are vulnerable fishes closely associated with seaweeds and seagrass, which provide shelter and food resources. Even though most syngnathids commonly feed on small crustaceans, the feeding regimes may ...
Could the Annual Saccorhiza Polyschides Replace a Sympatric Perennial Kelp (Laminaria Ochroleuca) When It Comes to Supporting the Holdfast-Associated Fauna?
(Elsevier, 2022-10-22)
[Abstract] Kelp forests dominate temperate rocky shores worldwide but are declining globally with consequences for organisms that depend on them. In NW Iberia, the golden kelp (Laminaria ochroleuca) commonly occurs alongside ...
Assessing the Importance of Kelp Forests for Small-Scale Fisheries Under a Global Change Scenario
(Frontiers, 2022-09-20)
[Abstract] Kelp forests are critical habitats for temperate coasts that are experiencing dramatic declines worldwide in recent decades. Yet, even though they often support wildlife populations of high socioeconomic value, ...
Comparative Invasion Ecology of Carpobrotus From Four Continents: Responses to Nutrients and Competition
(Oxford Academic, 2023-01-24)
[Abstract] Two key hypotheses in invasion biology are that certain traits underlie invasiveness in introduced species, and that these traits are selected for during or after introduction. We tested these hypotheses by ...
Differences in Physiological Integration Between Invasive and Noninvasive Introduced Clonal Species of Carpobrotus
(Oxford University Press, 2019-06-14)
[Abstract] Aims: Clonal growth is associated with invasiveness in introduced plant species, but few studies have compared invasive and noninvasive introduced clonal species to investigate which clonal traits may underlie ...
