Aquatic eddy covariance (AEC) is increasingly being used to study benthic oxygen (O2) flux
dynamics, organic carbon cycling, and ecosystem health in marine and freshwater …

In the recent decades, algae have proven to be a source of different bioactive compounds
with biological activities, which has increased the potential application of these organisms in …

Extensive seaweed aquaculture is a growing industry expected to expand globally due to its
relatively low impact and benefits in the form of ecosystem services. However, seaweeds are …

Effective monitoring of non-indigenous seaweeds and combatting their effects relies on a
solid confirmation of the non-indigenous status of the respective species. We critically …

Abstract The amphipod genus Jassa Leach, 1814 now comprises 24 species that occur in
temperate regions of both hemispheres on solid substrates from the lower intertidal zone to …

Since at least the 1980s, ecologists have argued that restoring ecosystem functioning in
highly degraded areas is the “acid test” for ecological understanding (Bradshaw 1987) …

The red seaweed Agarophyton vermiculophyllum is an invasive species native to the north-
west Pacific, which has proliferated in temperate estuaries of Europe, North America and …

Non-native species can become deleterious or potentially beneficial as components of novel
ecosystems. The non-native red macroalga Gracilaria vermiculophylla may provide nursery …

Negative impacts of invasive species are widely accepted, but there is increasing evidence
that neutral or positive effects are more prevalent than initially recognized, particularly for …

The sustainability of estuarine ecosystem functions depends on the stabilization of microbial
ecological processes. However, due to the unique and variable habitat characteristics of …
