The bathymetric and geographical distribution of marine species represent a key information
in biodiversity conservation. Yet, deep‐sea ecosystems are among the least explored on …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a method to detect taxa from environmental
samples. It is increasingly used for marine biodiversity surveys. As it only requires water …

Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are tropical reefs found at depths of~ 30–150 m,

Abstract Torpedo rays (Torpedinidae, Torpediniformes) are small to moderately large
batoids that produce an electric discharge. They are distributed worldwide in temperate and …

Accelerating rate of human impact and environmental change severely affects marine
biodiversity and increases the urgency to implement the Convention on Biological Diversity …

Marine fish communities suffer from anthropogenic pressures and climate change, which
influence their spatio-temporal dynamics. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been …

Temperate mesophotic reef ecosystems (TMREs) are among the least known marine
habitats. Information on their diversity and ecology is geographically and temporally scarce …

Rhodolith beds, recognized as biodiversity hotspots with high ecological and conservation
importance, face local anthropic pressures, including trawl fishing. However, monitoring the …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding provides an efficient approach for documenting
biodiversity patterns in marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The complexity of these data …
