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...
Performing fish counts with a wide-angle camera, a promising approach reducing ...
Assis, J.; Claro, B.; Ramos, Ana; Boavida, Joana; Serrão, EsterVisual standardised methods for census of reef fishes have long been used in fisheries management and biological surveys. However, these tools have inherent sources of bias and the SCUBA divers who perform them are highly constrained in terms of survey time,maximumdepth and frequency of sampling. Alternatives like underwater video are thus being recommended in a wide range of configurations. Yet, all these tech...
