Small scale temporal patterns of recruitment and hatching of Atlantic horse mac...
Klein, Maria; Beveren, Elisabeth Van; Rodrigues, Diana Duarte; Serrão, Ester A.; Caselle, Jennifer E.; Gonçalves, Emanuel João; Borges, Rita AlexandraAtlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus, Linnaeus, 1758) is a highly exploited species, common throughout the North-East Atlantic. As a pelagic-neritic fish it typically occurs over the shelf from the surface to 200 m deep on sandy bottoms. Most research has focused on distributions of adults or early life stages (eggs and larvae) of this species in offshore waters and only a few studies have reported the ...
High interannual variability in connectivity and genetic pool of a temperate cl...
Klein, Maria; Teixeira, Sara; Assis, Jorge; Serrão, Ester A.; Gonçalves, Emanuel João; Borges, Rita AlexandraAdults of most marine benthic and demersal fish are site-attached, with the dispersal of their larval stages ensuring connectivity among populations. In this study we aimed to infer spatial and temporal variation in population connectivity and dispersal of a marine fish species, using genetic tools and comparing these with oceanographic transport. We focused on an intertidal rocky reef fish species, the shore c...

Beveren, Elisabeth Van; Klein, Maria; Serrão, Ester A.; Gonçalves, Emanuel João; Borges, Rita AlexandraEarly life history traits (ELHTs) are key to understand recruitment patterns in marine animals. However, for reef fishes, studies on ELHTs are mainly focused on tropical systems and little is known for temperate reefs. In this study we used SMURFs (Standard Monitoring Units for the Recruitment of Reef Fishes) to collect fish in a temperate rocky reef system (Arrábida Marine Park, Portugal) on a weekly basis for...
Recruitment patterns and processes of coastal fish species in a temperate rocky...
Klein, MariaRecruitment of marine fish is composed of several steps, e.g. larval dispersal, metamorphosis to the juvenile stage, settlement and post-settlement. Each step is influenced by biotic and abiotic mechanisms, leading to a large variability of recruitment in space and time. Recruitment is a highly complex ecological process that has an essential impact on the demography, dynamics, persistence and overall genetic s...

Characterization of 15 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the temperate reef fi...
Teixeira, Sara; Candeias, Rui; Klein, Maria; Serrão, Ester; Borges, R.Abstract The clingfish, Lepadogaster lepadogaster is a reef fish species, abundant in temperate nearshore rocky reefs of the Eastern Atlantic and central and Eastern Mediterranean. To study genetic variability and population connectivity of this species, we developed fifteen polymorphic microsatellite markers. These were tested in one population and all but one, showed no departure from Hardy–Weinberg equilibri...
