Effects of ocean warming and pollution on Sargassum forests
Peres, Letícia M. Costa; Gouvêa, Lidiane; Hayden, Juliana; Burle, Giulia; Bastos, Eduardo; Carneiro, Alessandra; Horta, Paulo A.The combined effects of climate change and ocean pollution have resulted in a noteworthy decline of canopyforming species, impacting marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning significantly. In this context, Sargassum cymosum, which is widely distributed along the southwestern Atlantic Ocean, serves as an excellent model among canopy-forming species to investigate these impacts on populations in different re...
Phenotypic plasticity in sargassum forests may not counteract projected biomass...
Gouvêa, Lidiane; Horta, Paulo A.; Fragkopoulou, Eliza; Gurgel, Carlos F. D.; Peres, Leticia M. C.; Bastos, Eduardo; Ramlov, Fernanda; Burle, GiuliaPhenotypic plasticity and local adaptation can adjust individual responses to environmental changes across species' ranges. Studies addressing the implications of such traits have been underrepresented in the marine environment. Sargassum cymosum represents an ideal model to test phenotypic plasticity, as populations along the southwestern Atlantic Ocean display a sharp decrease in abundance toward distribution...
