Multifactorial studies assessing the cumulative effects of natural and anthropogenic
stressors on individual stress response are crucial to understand how organisms and …

Broad-scale links between productivity of estuarine habitats (such as saltmarsh and
mangrove) and the exploited species that rely on them have often been used to build a case …

This study investigated the contributions of five putative nursery areas, namely four coastal
lagoons and the marine coastal zone, to the local offshore fishery of the gilthead sea bream …

Despite covering only 0.82% of the ocean's surface, the Mediterranean Sea supports up to
18% of all known marine species, with 21% being listed as vulnerable and 11% as …

Temperate coastal lagoons are considered key habitats for several highly prized marine
fishes, which colonise them as nurseries. Lagoons can, however, exhibit diverse abiotic and …

As a result of the increased urban and agricultural development in coastal environments,
estuaries are among the most modified and threatened aquatic ecosystems. This study used …

Coastal lagoons are known to host numerous resident and migrant fish species. Spatio-
temporal variation in abiotic and biotic conditions in these ecosystems results, however, in a …

Although scientific interest on jellyfish ecology has substantially increased in the last
decades, little is known on the role of potential predators shaping their population dynamics …

Coastal and estuarine nurseries are composed of habitats with different biotic and abiotic
features. Quantifying the contribution of different habitats within nurseries to juvenile fish …

The current lack of knowledge on the trophic ecology of scyphozoans, particularly at the
benthic stage, prevents a full understanding of the controls on many jellyfish blooms. The …
