Shallow water fish display low phenotypic plasticity to ocean warming and extre...
Missionário, Madalena; Almeida, Célia; Fernandes, Joana Filipa; Vinagre, Catarina; Madeira, Carolina; Madeira, DianaAQUATROPHYS (2021.09718. CBM ), funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). © 2024 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.; Shallow water environments have long been recognized by scientists as sentinels for climate change. By analysing the impacts of ocean warming and marine heatwaves (MHW) in species from these areas, we can estimate their plasticity and hence vulnerability to therma...
Does predation exacerbate the risk of endosymbiont loss in heat stressed hermat...
Madeira, Carolina; Dias, Marta; Ferreira, Ana; Gouveia, Raúl; Cabral, Henrique N.; Diniz, Mário S.; Vinagre, CatarinaOcean warming has been a major driver of coral reef bleaching and mass mortality. Coupled to other biotic pressures, corals’ ability for acclimatization and adaptation may become compromised. Here, we tested the combined effects of warming scenarios (26, 30, and 32°C) and predation (wound vs. no wound) in coral health condition (paleness, bleaching, and mortality), cellular stress responses (heat shock protein ...
Differential Effects of Food Restriction and Warming in the Two-Spotted Goby
Lopes, Ana F.; Murdoch, Robyn; Martins-Cardoso, Sara; Madeira, Carolina; Costa, Pedro M.; Félix, Ana S.; Oliveira, Rui F.; Bandarra, Narcisa M.Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the authors.; Climate change is a growing threat to marine organisms and ecosystems, and it is already modifying ocean properties by, for example, increasing temperature and decreasing pH. Increasing water temperature may also lead to an impairment of primary productivity and an overall depletion of available zooplankton. Understanding how the crossover between warming and zooplan...
Integrative indices for health assessment in reef corals under thermal stress
Dias, Marta; Madeira, Carolina; Jogee, Nadia; Ferreira, Ana; Gouveia, Raúl; Cabral, Henrique; Diniz, Mário; Vinagre, CatarinaUID/MAR/04292/2019 UID/Multi/04378/2019 SFRH/BD/103047/2014; Global warming is one of the major causes of reef coral ecosystems’ degradation. Predictions of further rise in sea surface temperatures call for urgent action. In this study, a holistic method for bio-monitoring heat stress in reef ecosystems was tested and optimized. Long-term induction of antioxidant enzymes and oxidative stress by elevated tempera...
