A common terminology to unify research and conservation of coralline algae and ...
Jardim, Victor L.; Grall, Jacques; Barros‐Barreto, M. Beatriz; Bizien, Anaëlle; Benoit, Thomas; Braga, Juan C.; Brodie, Juliet; Burel, ThomasLinguistic uncertainty is a prime source of uncertainty pervading ecology and conservation. Coralline algae are a widespread and diverse group of calcifying red macroalgae that underpin coastal ecosystem function and service provision. Recent increasing interest in coralline algae in the scientific literature has revealed a diverse but confusing terminology at organism to habitat scales. Coralline algal researc...
Positive species interactions structure rhodolith bed communities at a global s...
Bulleri, Fabio; Schubert, Nadine; Hall‐Spencer, Jason M.; Basso, Daniela; Burdett, Heidi L.; Francini‐Filho, Ronaldo B.; Grall, Jacques; Horta, Paulo A.Rhodolith beds are diverse and globally distributed habitats. Nonetheless, the role of rhodoliths in structuring the associated species community through a hierarchy of positive interactions is yet to be recognised. In this review, we provide evidence that rhodoliths can function as foundation species of multi-level facilitation cascades and, hence, are fundamental for the persistence of hierarchically structur...
Effect of Depth across a Latitudinal Gradient in the Structure of Rhodolith Sea...
Pérez-Peris, Inés; Navarro-Mayoral, Sandra; de Esteban, Marcial Cosme; Tuya, Fernando; Peña, Viviana; Barbara, Ignacio; Neves, Pedro; Ribeiro, ClaudiaRhodolith seabeds are ‘ecosystem engineers’ composed of free-living calcareous red macroalgae, which create extensive marine habitats. This study addressed how depth influenced the structure (size and morphology) of rhodoliths and the abundance of associated floral and faunal epibionts across the Eastern Atlantic Ocean. Sampling was carried out at two sites within five regions (Brittany, Galicia, Madeira, Gran ...

Heterogeneous energetic pathways and carbon sources on deep eastern Mediterrane...
Carlier, Antoine; Ritt, Benedicte; Rodrigues, Clara F.; Sarrazin, Jozee; Olu, Karine; Grall, Jacques; Clavier, JacquesCold seep communities in the Mediterranean Sea have only been discovered two decades ago, and their trophic ecology has been the subject of very few studies. We investigated the benthic food web of two deep chemosynthesis-based ecosystems on the Napoli and Amsterdam mud volcanoes (MVs) in the eastern Mediterranean Sea (similar to 2,000 m depth). Seeping methane has been detected at the surface of both MVs durin...
