The invasive macroalga Rugulopteryx okamurae represents an unprecedented case of
bioinvasion by marine macroalgae facing the European coasts. Since the first apparition of …

Coastal zones are ecosystems of high economic value but exposed to numerous
disturbances, while they represent nurseries for many fish species, raising the issue of the …

Context In heterogeneous landscapes, local patterns of community structure are a product of
the habitat size and condition within a patch interacting with adjacent habitat patches of …

Arborescent macro-algae forests covering temperate rocky reefs are a known habitat for
juvenile fishes. However, in the Mediterranean, these forests are undergoing severe …

Like aquatic habitats in nature, artificial reefs (ARs) have been investigated to determine
whether their complexity affects species diversity. Moreover, studies have been carried out …
