Functional diversity in marine fish assemblages
Henriques, Sofia; Dolbeth, Marina; Matos, Paula; Pecuchet, Laurene; Bernardo, Cristiane Palaretti; Weigel, Benjamin; McLean, Matthew; Hidalgo, ManuelIn the last decades, the rising interest in trait-based ecology is closely related to a growing demand for knowledge on ecosystems’ functioning and on mechanisms generating ecological patterns and processes, and with the urgency for approaches that allow to predict the consequences of climate change and anthropogenic impacts (McGill et al., 2006; De Bello et al., 2021a,b). This fundamental knowledge is difficul...
Workshop to compile evidence on the impacts of offshore renewable energy on fis...
Alexander, Karen; Akimova, Anna; Aonghusa, Catriona; Schreiber, Arias; Arjona, Yolanda; Arrigan, Michael; Balestri, Elena; Beerman, JanThis report provides a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the current state-of-the art in available evidence and science concerning the economic, social, and ecological impacts of offshore wind farms (OWF) and floating offshore wind farms (FLOW) on fisheries in the Baltic Sea, Celtic Seas, and Greater North Sea. It describes the observed and potential economic, social, ecological and cumulative impacts of...
Projected climate change and limited dispersal potential threaten the seahorse ...
Peiffer, Friederike; Assis, Jorge; Lima, André R. A.; Henriques, Sofia; Pardal, Miguel A.; Martinho, Filipe; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel SantosClimate change is predicted to drive species redistribution, altering the composition of marine communities and affecting ecosystem functioning. There is increasing evidence that fish distributions follow a trend of poleward expansion, while realised niches often decrease in range size. This study aimed to assess the influence of oceanographic connectivity and intrinsic dispersal mechanisms on changes in suitab...
Habitat suitability of two flagship species, hippocampus hippocampus and hippoc...
Peiffer, Friederike; Lima, André R.A.; Henriques, Sofia; Pardal, Miguel; Martinho, Filipe; Gonçalves, Jorge M.S.; Gonçalves, Emanuel J.; Correia, MiguelAnthropogenic pressures on marine ecosystems are increasing worldwide, causing loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and driving species towards risk of extinction. To protect vulnerable species and habitats, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are increasingly established worldwide as conservation measures. Seahorses act as flagship species for coastal ecosystem conservation due to their charismatic appear...

Setting performance indicators for coastal marine protected areas: An expert-ba...
Cardoso-Andrade, Mariana; Queiroga, Henrique; Rangel, M; Sousa, Inês; Belackova, Adela; Bentes, Luis; Oliveira, Frederico; Monteiro, PedroMarine Protected Areas (MPAs) require effective indicators to assess their performance, in compliance with the goals of relevant national and international commitments. Achieving and prioritizing shortlists of multidisciplinary indicators demands a significant effort from specialists to depict the multiple conservation and socioeconomic interests, and the large complexity of natural systems. The present paper d...

Stratoudakis, Yorgos; Hilário, Ana; Ribeiro, Cláudia; Abecasis, David; Gonçalves, Emanuel J.; Andrade, Francisco; Carreira, Gilberto P.Converting assemblages of marine protected areas (MPAs) into functional MPA networks requires political will, multidisciplinary information, coordinated action and time. We developed a new framework to assist planning environmental representativity in a network across the marine space of Portugal, responding to a political commitment to protect 14% of its area by 2020. An aggregate conservation value was estima...
