Multi-generation dispersal shapes the genetic structure of the canopy-forming s...
Reynes, Lauric; Legrand, Térence; Blanfuné, Aurélie; Assis, Jorge; Thibaut, Thierry; Bottin, LorraineCanopy-forming seaweeds, especially fucoids (Fucales, Phaeophyceae), constitute marine forests in the Mediterranean Sea that deliver key ecosystem services. However, escalating human pressures in coastal areas have led to habitat fragmentation, significantly impacting the dynamics of gene flow and evolutionary trajectories. In this study, we investigated population connectivity among 43 sites with Ericaria amen...
Range map data of marine ecosystem structuring species under global climate change
Gouvêa, Lidiane; Fragkopoulou, Eliza; Legrand, Térence; Serrao, Ester; Assis, JorgeData on contemporary and future geographical distributions of marine species are crucial for guiding conservation and management policies in face of climate change. However, available distributional patterns have overlooked key ecosystem structuring species, despite their numerous ecological and socioeconomic services. Future range estimates are mostly available for few species at regional scales, and often rel...
Unravelling the role of oceanographic connectivity in the distribution of genet...
Legrand, Térence; Fragkopoulou, Eliza; Gouvêa, Lidiane; Serrao, Ester A.; Assis, Jorge; Vapillon, LaurenAim Genetic diversity of marine forests results from complex interactions of eco-evolutionary processes. Among them, oceanographic connectivity driven by dispersal through water transport is hypothesized to play a pivotal role, yet its relative contribution has not been addressed at the global scale. Here, we test how present-day oceanographic connectivity is correlated with the distribution of genetic diversit...
