The use of underwater video techniques has expanded rapidly in ecological studies and is
particularly desirable in protected areas since the method does not impact the habitat or …

While changes in the abundance of keystone predators can have cascading effects resulting
in regime shifts, the role of mesopredators in these processes remains underexplored. We …

In the Anthropocene, marine ecosystems are rapidly shifting to new ecological states.
Achieving effective conservation of marine biodiversity has become a fast‐moving target …

Increasing anthropogenic pressures are causing long-lasting regime shifts from high-
diversity ecosystems to low-diversity ones. In the Mediterranean Sea, large expanses of …

The detrimental effects of invasion by Indo-Pacific lionfish Pterois volitans/miles on western
Atlantic fishes have spurred concerns for Mediterranean fish biodiversity, where Lessepsian …

In the light of future ocean warming scenarios and habitat fragmentation, coastal fishes must
adjust their physiological and behavioral traits to face the combined effect of global warming …

Abstract In the Mediterranean Sea hard-bottom macroalgal meadows may switch to
alternative and less-productive barrens grounds, as a result of sea urchins overgrazing …

Predator–prey interactions may be strongly influenced by temperature variations in marine
ecosystems. Consequently, climate change may alter the importance of predators with …

Sea urchins are biotic factors driving the decline of kelp forests in marine ecosystems.
However, few studies have analyzed the microbiota of surviving sea urchins in barren …

Two-decade-long monitoring studies at Europe's first statutory marine reserve—Lough Hyne
in SW Ireland—indicate that benthic communities are rapidly changing. Populations of the …
