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...
On the specific status of eastern mediterranean dendrophyllia corals (Cnidaria,...
Aurelle, Didier; Haguenauer, Anne; Blaise, Chloé; Reynes, Lauric; Arnaud‐Haond, Sophie; Boavida, Joana; Cabau, Cédric; Klopp, Christophe; Lundalv, TomasThe deep-sea corals Dendrophyllia ramea and Dendrophyllia cornigera occur in Mediterranean and Atlantic waters. Both species are found in different environmental conditions, and they can colonize hard and soft substrates. These species then display an important ecological plasticity along with morphological plasticity. Nevertheless, there is a large knowledge gap on the genetic characteristics of the two specie...
Development of tools to rapidly identify cryptic species and characterize their...
Mauger, Stéphane; Fouqueau, Louise; Avia, Komlan; Reynes, Lauric; Serrao, Ester; Neiva, J.; Valero, MyriamMarine ecosystems formed by kelp forests are severely threatened by global change and local coastline disturbances in many regions. In order to take appropriate conservation, mitigation, and restoration actions, it is crucial to identify the most diverse populations which could serve as a “reservoir” of genetic diversity. This requires the development of specifc tools, such as microsatellite markers to investig...
