Lessonia (order Laminariales) is a kelp genus restricted to the temperate southern
hemisphere, where species form dense forests from the low intertidal to 25 m depth at wave …

Marine ecosystems such as kelp are gaining recognition for providing ecosystem services
(ES) along the coastal regions worldwide. Here, we synthesize information from the last four …

Estimates suggest that the amount of plastic litter discarded in the ocean is several times
greater than what remains floating at the sea surface, raising questions about the fate of this …

There is a general lack of information on the succession of marine benthic algae in
Antarctica. We performed two colonization experiments in the upper subtidal (3 and 5 m …

Aim This study examines how rafting on floating bull kelps can shape the biogeographic
patterns of raft‐associated species, and analyses the spatio‐temporal variability of …

Kelps provide important habitat for a range of species, however they are suffering increasing
levels of degradation. This has prompted efforts to restore these ecosystems, however, the …

While increasing awareness about ocean-related topics is a matter of urgent necessity,
ocean and coastal-literate schoolchildren are uncommon in Brazil, even in coastal cities. In …

Quantitative and semi-qualitative multispecies trophic network models were used to
evaluate the importance of echinoderms to keystone species complexes (KSCs) and their …
