Biotic homogenisation and differentiation as directional change in beta diversity: synthesising driver–response relationships to develop conceptual models across …
Biotic homogenisation is defined as decreasing dissimilarity among ecological assemblages
sampled within a given spatial area over time. Biotic differentiation, in turn, is defined as …

Exotic species dominate marinas between the two most populated regions in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean
Human occupation of coastal areas promotes the establishment of non-native species but
information on bioinvasions is usually biased toward the Northern Hemisphere. We …

Colonial ascidians strongly preyed upon, yet dominate the substrate in a subtropical fouling community
Higher diversity and dominance at lower latitudes has been suggested for colonial species.
We verified this pattern in species richness of ascidians, finding that higher colonial-to …

Early evidence of a shift in juvenile fish communities in response to conditions in nursery areas
A multivariate analysis of juvenile fish community data, sampled at two nursery sites at an
interval of 17 years (2000—early, and 2017—late), was conducted to elucidate the trends of …

Enduring regardless the conditions: Plasticity in modular growth as a strategy to cope with hydrodynamic variation by the invasive sun-coral (Tubastraea spp.)
The susceptibility of a community to invasions is not the only factor influencing the success
of the introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS). Because the conditions of the invaded …
