Heterogeneity in forests might promote biodiversity not only through an increase in niche
volume but also through other processes, such as an increase in resources and their spatial …

Understanding fish-habitat associations is critical for ecosystem-based approaches to
management and conservation. Kelp species, which are estimated to inhabit around 25% of …

Phylogenetic signal (PS) is the propensity of closely related species to resemble each other.
PS has been tested across clades of terrestrial plants; however, insight for seagrasses is still …

The degradation of shallow ecosystems has called for efforts to understand the biodiversity
and functioning of Mesophotic Ecosystems. However, most empirical studies have been …

Coral reef sessile organisms inhabiting cryptic spaces and cavities of the reef matrix perform
vital and varied functional roles but are often understudied in comparison to those on …

Understanding the extent to which species' traits mediate patterns of community assembly is
key to predict the effect of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on ecosystem …

Globally, elasmobranchs have suffered severe population declines and are, therefore, under
an urgent necessity of protection, particularly along the Northeastern Atlantic realm …

Aquatic ectotherms often attain smaller body sizes at higher temperatures. By analysing~
15,000 coastal‐reef fish surveys across a 15° C spatial sea surface temperature (SST) …

Seagrasses worldwide provide key habitats for fish assemblages. Biogeographical
disparities in ocean climate conditions and seasonal regimes are well-known drivers of the …

Abstract Tropical deep reefs (> 30 m) are biologically and ecologically unique ecosystems
with a higher geographic reach to shallow (< 30 m) reefs. Yet they are poorly understood …
