The biophysical dynamics of giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera : Seasonal patterns and dispersal mechanisms in the southeast PacificNARA Subscribed
Aim Dispersal and connectivity play important roles in shaping the population structure of giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera , across the western coast of South America. Its high potential dispersal capacity suggests the existence of metapopulations, where discrete habitat patches or groups of patches form subpopulations that interact at some level. However, the dispersal patterns of giant kelp in this region have not been quan...
A global assessment of environmental and climate influences on wetland macroinvertebrate community structure and functionNARA Subscribed
Estimating organisms' responses to environmental variables and taxon associations across broad spatial scales is vital for predicting their responses to climate change. Macroinvertebrates play a major role in wetland processes, but studies simultaneously exploring both community structure and community trait responses to environmental gradients are still lacking. We compiled a global dataset (six continents) from 756 depressio...
In this Collective Article on alien and cryptogenic diversity in the Mediterranean Sea we report a total of 19 species belonging to nine Phyla and coming from nine countries. Several of these records concern fish species, and of particular interest are the first records of: Terapon puta for Italian waters; Pteragopus trispilus from Malta; Plotosus lineatus from Cyprus; and the northernmost Mediterranean record of Lagocephalus...

Rapid Assessment of Risks to a Mobile Marine Mammal in an Ecosystem‐Scale Marine Protected AreaNARA Subscribed
Ecosystem‐scale networks of marine protected areas (MPAs) are important conservation tools, but their effectiveness is difficult to quantify in a time frame appropriate to species conservation because of uncertainties in the data available. The dugong ( Dugong dugon ) is a mobile marine species that occurs in shallow inshore waters of an ecosystem‐scale network of MPAs (the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area [GBRWHA]). We...
