Sandy beaches are iconic interfaces that functionally link the ocean with the land via the flow
of organic matter from the sea. These cross‐ecosystem fluxes often comprise uprooted …

Invasive species are pervasive around the world and have profound impacts on the
ecosystem they invade. Invasive species, however, can also have impacts beyond the …

Human-mediated transport of species significantly alters their distribution at a global scale.
Since the seminal work by Elton (1958), non-indigenous species (NIS) introductions and …

The aim of this study was to understand the growth dynamics of Saccharina japonica
(previously known as Laminaria japonica), particularly the portion lost during its growth cycle …

Accumulations of macroalgal wrack are important for adequate functioning of the beach
ecosystem. However, the sudden beaching of seaweed masses smothers the coastline and …

Marine macroalgae harbour abundant and diverse assemblages of epifauna. Patterns of
distribution and abundance of epifauna, which are often variable in space and time, differ …

Carbon flow is essential to the function of all ecosystems, yet there is little mechanistic
understanding of how non-indigenous macroalgae alter rates of carbon fixation in marine …

Food webs on sandy beaches rely heavily on spatial subsidies of macroalgae and other
detritus. Invasive macroalgal species are modifying many ecosystems worldwide, so the …

Invasive primary producers can dramatically reorganize food webs through detrital
subsidies. This study assessed (1) contributions of the invasive alga Caulerpa taxifolia to …

The fauna inhabiting the brown seaweed Sargassum muticum was studied on a spatial
scale along the Normandy coast from the Normand-Breton Gulf to the Bay of Seine (English …
