Anthropogenic disturbances affect natural populations and assemblages by interacting with
fundamental ecological processes. Field experiments simulating the effects of human …

Canopy-forming algae have been shown to play a fundamental role in the maintenance of
understorey assemblages on rocky shores. In the Mediterranean, low-shore habitats are …

Biological interactions can strongly influence the distribution of organisms. In the
Mediterranean Sea, macroherbivore densities vary with depth in a highly predictable …

Turf-forming algae form more extensive habitat on subtidal rock adjacent to urban than non-
urban coast of South Australia. This pattern is frequently observed on the world's temperate …

The ecological importance of marine algae is widely known but in shallow coastal areas the
composition and structure of algal communities may be affected by different human …

This study examined the interactive effects of grazing by limpets and inclination of the
substratum in maintaining differences between mid-shore and low-shore assemblages of …

Canopy-forming macroalgae of the genus Cystoseira are being lost in several areas of the
Mediterranean Sea. Cystoseira amentacea var. stricta and C. compressa are common …

A red algal turf is often found just below the barnacle/limpet zone of many European shores,
especially on steep shores of moderate exposure. The hypothesis that grazing by limpets …

Artificial structures are sprawling in marine seascapes as a result of burgeoning coastal
populations, increasing development and energy demand, and greater risks from climate …

Caulerpa racemosa is a tropical green alga introduced into the Mediterranean probably as
an immigrant from the Red Sea. This study evaluated the modifications caused by C …
