Seagrasses are marine plants and key indicators of water quality. Changes in environmental conditions may lead to seagrass deterioration with potential loss of associated ecosystem services (e.g., sediment accretion and stabilisation, carbon sequestration, habitat and food provisioning for important commercial and economic species of fish and invertebrates). In this study, we set up a habitat suitability model (MaxEnt) for Pos...

Rugulopteryx okamurae is a species of brown macroalgae belonging to the Dictyotaceae family and native to the north-western Pacific. As an Invasive Alien Species (IAS), it was first detected in the Strait of Gibraltar in 2015. Since then, R. okamurae has been spreading rapidly through the submerged euphotic zone, colonizing from 0 to 50 m depth and generating substantial economic and environmental impacts on the Andalusian coa...
