Aim Evidence indicates that species are responding to climate change through distributional
range shifts that track suitable climatic conditions. We aim to elucidate the role of meso …

European oyster (Ostrea edulis) restoration often requires the timely deployment of shell
habitat for larval settlement. To inform this increasingly popular process, the present study …

Abstract The European sea squirt Ascidiella aspersa is a solitary tunicate native to the
northeastern Atlantic, commonly found in shallow and sheltered marine ecosystems where it …

The variability in zooplankton density and species composition in response to tidal
oscillations were investigated in the lesser saline upper reaches (E1) and higher saline …

Larvae from many marine coastal species deploy ecological strategies that promote their
arrival to geographically close or distant populations. Some larvae adjust their vertical …

Vertical distribution and migration pattern of ichthyoplankton assemblage in the Mondego
estuary were investigated in relation to diel and tidal cycle. Summer and winter communities …

Spatial and temporal distribution patterns of polychaete assemblages were described in six
subtidal sampling stations within Cienfuegos Bay, a Cuban semi-enclosed bay in the …

The non-native barnacle species Austrominius modestus was first recorded in Ireland, close
to Lough Hyne marine nature reserve in 1957. This species was not recorded inside the …

Influence of season, lunar-tide cycle and tide on ichthyoplankton at the interface between
Mondego estuary and the adjacent coast and on up-estuary transport was evaluated …

Despite a growing interest in diel vertical migration as a research topic, there are few studies
in southern European marine coastal systems. This study determined the main structuring …
