Predation Facilitates the Abundance of Biofouling Non-indigenous Species in Estuarine Marinas in NE Atlantic Portugal
(Elsevier, 2023)
Harbours are highly modified habitats that differ from natural areas. They are hotspots of non-indigenous species (NIS) and act as stepping-stones in invasive processes. However, local communities can exert biotic resistance ...

Location and Building Material Determine Fouling Assemblages within Marinas: A Case Study in Madeira Island (NE Atlantic, Portugal)
(Elsevier, 2023)
Marinas are hubs for non-indigenous species (NIS) and constitute the nodes of a network of highly modified water bodies (HMWB) connected by recreational maritime traffic. Floating structures, such as pontoons, are often ...

Marine heatwaves drive recurrent mass mortalities in the Mediterranean Sea
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2022)
Climate change is causing an increase in the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves (MHWs) and mass mortality events (MMEs) of marine organisms are one of their main ecological impacts. Here, we show that during the ...

A new genus and two new species of Caprellidae (Crustacea: Amphipoda) from mesophotic and deep-sea waters of Australia
(Australian Museum, 2020)
Caprellids from mesophotic and deep-sea waters from Australia have been scarcely studied. A new genus Pseudoliropus gen. nov., and two new species Pseudoliropus keablei and Pseudoprotella australiensis sp. nov. are ...

A worrying arrival: the first record of brown macroalga Rugulopteryx okamurae in Madeira Island and its invasive risk
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre, 2022)
The brown macroalgae Rugulopteryx okamurae is described as one of the most severe and threatening invasive marine macroalgae in European waters. This study reports the first record of R. okamurae in the Madeira archipelago, ...

Unravelling the origin and introduction pattern of the tropical species Paracaprella pusilla Mayer, 1890 (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Caprellidae) in temperate European waters: first molecular insights from a spatial and temporal perspective
(Pensoft Publishers, 2019)
Paracaprella pusilla Mayer, 1890 is a tropical caprellid species recently introduced to the Eastern Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean Sea. In this study, we used direct sequencing of mitochondrial ...

Effects of climate change on the distribution of threatened invertebrates in a Mediterranean hotspot
(Wiley, 2022)
1. The effects of climate change may constitute a major threat factor for endemic and threatened species of invertebrates. A particularly dramatic case can be found in the Iberian Peninsula, because of its high rate of ...

Environmental stress responses in sympatric congeneric crustaceans: Explaining and predicting the context-dependencies of invader impacts
(Elsevier, 2021)
The role of ecophysiology in mediating marine biological pollution is poorly known. Here we explore how physiological plasticity to environmental stress can explain and predict the context-dependencies of invasive species ...

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. ...
