Influence of environmental factors and sessile biota on vagile epibionts: the case of amphipods in marinas across a regional scale
(Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, 2022)
Marinas are highly anthropized environments, with singular ecological characteristics. In the present study the spatial vari-ability of the amphipod assemblage associated to floating pontoons was analyzed. Moreover, the ...

Diversity, community structure and habitat use of molluscs in marinas from the Iberian Peninsula and Northern Africa
(Elsevier, 2021)
Although the number of marinas along shorelines has significantly increased during the last years, there is a lack of studies on mobile epifauna associated to floating pontoons or infauna inhabiting soft bottoms of marinas. ...

Effects of ocean acidification on the biochemistry, physiology and parental transfer of Ampelisca brevicornis (Costa, 1853)
(Elsevier, 2022)
Ocean acidification (OA) has received more attention in the marine research community in recent years than any other topic. Excess carbon dioxide makes the ocean more acidic, threatening marine ecosystems. There has been ...

The Mitogenome Relationships and Phylogeography of Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica)
(Oxford University Press, 2022)
The barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) poses a number of fascinating scientific questions, including the taxonomic status of postulated subspecies. Here, we obtained and assessed the sequence variation of 411 complete mitogenomes, ...

Long-distance dispersal, low connectivity and molecular evidence of a new cryptic species in the obligate rafter Caprella andreae Mayer, 1890 (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Caprellidae)
(BMC, 2013)
The amphipod Caprella andreae Mayer, 1890 was recorded for the first time in Southern Iberian Peninsula (36440 1500N, 3590 3800W). This species is the only obligate rafter of the suborder Caprellidea and has been reported ...

Morphometric variations of two patellid limpets between artificial breakwaters and natural reefs
(Elsevier, 2024-01-10)
Artificial shorelines often differ from natural reefs in shape, composition, and habitat complexity. They promote higher accumulation of pollutants and increased physiological stress, which lead to changes in species ...

Buoys are non-indigenous fouling hotspots in marinas regardless of their environmental status and pressure
(Elsevier, 2023-11-17)
Marinas contribute to the degradation of coastal ecosystems, constitute non-indigenous species (NIS) hotspots and function as steppingstones in invasion processes. These often enclose highly modified water bodies that ...

Facilitation of macrofaunal assemblages in marinas by the habitat-forming invader Amathia verticillata (Bryozoa: Gymnolaemata) across a spatiotemporal scale
(Elsevier, 2023-11-24)
Widespread habitat-forming invaders inhabiting marinas, such as the spaghetti bryozoan Amathia verticillata, allow exploring facilitation processes across spatiotemporal contexts. Here we investigate the role of this ...

Fine-scale niche differences allow the co-existence of congeneric aquatic beetles in supratidal rockpools
(Springer, 2023-08-11)
Here we focused on the co-occurrence pattern on regional and local scales, and on the niche differences of two species of congeneric beetles (Ochthebius quadricollis and O. lejolisii, Hydraenidae) exclusive of supratidal ...

Levels of persistent organic pollutants (PoPs) and the role of anthropic subsidies in the diet of avian scavengers tracked by stable isotopes
(Elsevier, 2023-12-22)
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) have been identified as a significant factor driving declines in wildlife populations. These contaminants exhibit a dual tendency to biomagnify up the food chains and persist within ...
