The effects of mangrove vegetation on functional features of crustacean assemblages were
investigated using the Biological Traits Analysis (BTA). The study was carried out at four …

The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most exploited regions of the world's oceans. Here
industrial activities have determined either acute or long-term impacts on coastal marine …

Biological trait analysis (BTA) is a valuable tool for evaluating changes in community

Estuaries can remove and/or retain land-derived nitrogen (N) and act as filters buffering N
loads to the open sea. The N coastal filter can be seasonally variable depending on water …

Structural complexity of mangrove forests is thought to provide critical habitats for a variety of
invertebrates. We studied the influence of habitat structure and sampling time on the …

Understanding the patterns and drivers of biodiversity in intertidal zones is essential for
developing effective conservation strategies. The taxonomic and functional diversity of …
