Major shifts at the range edge of marine forests: the combined effects of clima...
Assis, J.; Berecibar, E.; Claro, B.; Alberto, F.; Reed, D.; Raimondi, P.; A, SerrãoGlobal climate change is likely to constrain low latitude range edges across many taxa and habitats. Such is the case for NE Atlantic marine macroalgal forests, important ecosystems whose main structuring species is the annual kelp Saccorhiza polyschides. We coupled ecological niche modelling with simulations of potential dispersal and delayed development stages to infer the major forces shaping range edges and...
Mono-specific facies of Parazoanthus axinellae in Luiz Saldanha Marine Park
Gomes-Pereira, J.N.; Vasco-Rodrigues, N.; Afonso, A.; Albuquerque, M.; Berecibar, E.; Bernardes, L.; Calado, A.; Castanheira, A.; Tojeira, I.We report the first mono-specific facies of<jats:italic>Parazoanthus axinellae</jats:italic>from the western Portuguese coast. The habitat was recorded using a MiniRov Observer on a large outcrop at ca. 55–60 m in the Luiz Saldanha Marine Park. A method to estimate the maximum uncertainty of the ROV position is illustrated and the occurrence of the facies is discussed.
