Synthetic surfactants are used in several industries, including manufacturing, pharmaceutical and cosmetic’s, food and feed, agriculture, petroleum and environmental remediation for their ability to adsorb to fluid and solid-water interfaces. However, their widespread use and their synthetic preparation through environmentally unfavorable processes counterbalances the value of this class of reagents. This fact has stimulated n...

Coevolution with predators leads to the use of low‐risk habitats by many prey species, which promotes survival during early developmental phases. These nurseries are valued by conservation and management agencies because of their contributions to adult populations. However, the physical and geographic characteristics, like shallow depths and isolation from other marine habitats, that restrict access to predators and thereby re...
