Biological invasions have become a defining feature of marine Mediterranean ecosystems
with significant impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human health. We …

The spread of the green macroalga Caulerpa cylindracea is one of the most threatening
invasions in the Mediterranean Sea. Many correlative and experimental studies have …

Plastics are found in marine environments worldwide, and their effects on macrophytes
(seagrasses and macroalgae) colonizing sandy bottoms are still poorly known. Seagrass …

Edible sea grapes (Caulerpa lentillifera) are produced in shaded ponds (~ 50 μmol photons
m− 2 s− 1) and are of increasing demand for direct human consumption. The controlled …

The potential negative influence of the seaweed Caulerpa prolifera on the seagrass
Cymodocea nodosa was explored in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon (Mar Menor, Spain) …

Coastal communities are under threat from many and often co‐occurring local (eg, pollution,
eutrophication) and global stressors (eg, climate change), yet understanding the interactive …

Seagrass ecosystems usually respond in a nonlinear fashion to increasing pressures and
environmental changes. Feedback mechanisms operating at the ecosystem level and …

Invasive species pose a major threat to global diversity, and once they are well established
their eradication typically becomes unfeasible. However, certain natural mechanisms can …

Whilst the successful establishment and spread of invasive species can be determined by
above‐ground processes, results are often equivocal. Emergent research, mostly from …

This study aimed to elucidate for the first time the combined effects of marine heatwaves
(MHWs) and light limitation simulated in mesocosm on critical physiological descriptors of …
