Cross-referencing unidentified fish sound data sets to unravel sound sources: a...
Vieira, Manuel; Ríos, Noelia; Muñoz-Duque, Sebastian; Pereira, Jodanne; Carriço, Rita; Fernandez, Marc; Monteiro, João G.; Pais, Miguel PessanhaThere is growing evidence that studying aquatic acoustic communities can provide ecologically relevant information. Understanding these communities may offer unique insights into species behaviour and ecology, while consolidating passive acoustic monitoring as a tool for mapping the presence of target species or estimating changes in aquatic biodiversity. Fish can be significant soundscape contributors, but mos...
A pioneering longterm experiment on mesophotic macrofouling communities in the ...
Canning-Clode, João; Gizzi, Francesca; Braga-Henriques, Andreia; Ramalhosa, Patrício; Abreu, Pedro; Álvarez, Soledad; Biscoito, ManuelThe mesophotic zone represents one of our planet's largest and least explored biomes. An increasing number of studies evidence the importance of macrofouling species in marine ecosystems, but information on these communities and the factors influencing their structures at mesophotic depths remain poor. This lack of understanding limits our ability to predict anthropogenic impacts or conduct restoration operatio...
Diversity and patterns of marine non-native species in the archipelagos of Maca...
Castro, Nuno; Carlton, James T.; Costa, Ana C.; Marques, Carolina S.; Hewitt, Chad L.; Cacabelos, Eva; Lopes, Evandro; Gizzi, FrancescaAims The present study is the first attempt to grasp the scale and richness of marine biological invasions in Macaronesia. We pioneered a comprehensive non-native species (NNS), inventory in the region to determine their diversity patterns and native distribution origins. NNS were defined here as the result of both introductions and range expansions. We also used statistical modelling to examine relationships a...
