Exploring foraging preference of local fish species towards non-indigenous foul...
Chebaane, Sahar; Pais, Miguel Pessanha; Engelen, Aschwin; Ramalhosa, Patrício; Silva, Rodrigo; Gizzi, Francesca; Canning-Clode, JoãoNon-indigenous species (NIS) spread from marinas to natural environments is influenced by niche availability, habitat suitability, and local biotic resistance. This study explores the effect of indigenous fish feeding behaviour on NIS proliferation using fouling communities, pre-grown on settlement plates, as two distinct, representative models: one from NIS-rich marinas and the other from areas outside marinas...
Human impact on macroalgal forests of the Madeira Archipelago
Bernal-Ibáñez, AlejandroNatural coastal habitats in the Anthropocene are suffering a severe regression at a global level derived, directly and indirectly, from human activity. Among these ecosystems, marine forests are recognized as one of the most common systems in temperate areas, characterized by their high productivity, a great associated biodiversity, and their capability to provide numerous ecosystem services to humanity. Marine...
The collapse of marine forests: drastic reduction in populations of the family ...
Bernal-Ibáñez, Alejandro; Gestoso, Ignacio; Wirtz, Peter; Kaufmann, Manfred; Serrao, Ester; Canning-Clode, João; Cacabelos, EvaSpecies of the genera Cystoseira, Ericaria, Gongolaria, and Sargassum (family Sargassaceae) are key components of the Mediterranean-Atlantic marine forests, essential for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Populations of these foundational species are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic impacts, likely to be intensified under future scenarios of climate change. The decline and even disappearance of th...
