Global marine conservation remains fractured by an imbalance in research efforts and policy
actions, limiting progression towards sustainability. Rhodolith beds represent a prime …

Theoretical ecological models, such as succession and facilitation, were defined in
terrestrial habitats, and subsequently applied to marine and freshwater habitats in intertidal …

Rhodolith beds are diverse and globally distributed habitats. Nonetheless, the role of
rhodoliths in structuring the associated species community through a hierarchy of positive …

Coralline red algae (CRA) are key players in the construction and maintenance of biogenic
reefs, and they have important functional roles in ecological systems in the Southwestern …

Climate driven range shifts are driving the redistribution of marine species and threatening
the functioning and stability of marine ecosystems. For species that are the structural basis of …

Coralline algae (Corallinophycideae) are calcifying red algae that are foundation species in
euphotic marine habitats globally. In recent years, corallines have received increasing …

There is an increasing number of studies reporting microplastic (MP) contamination in the
Arctic environment. We analysed MP abundance in samples from a marine Arctic ecosystem …

Underwater biogenic habitats composed of unattached calcified red algae, named as
rhodolith or maërl beds, may extant either alive or dead, over the seabed. The accumulation …

Marine carbonate sediments have economic value because of their high concentration of
calcium minerals and important trace elements. However, increasing mining interest in these …

The euphotic–mesophotic transition is characterized by dramatic changes in environmental
conditions, which can significantly alter the functioning of ecosystem engineers and the …
