Coastal vegetated habitats such as seagrasses are known to play a critical role in carbon
cycling and the potential to mitigate climate change, as blue carbon habitats have been …

Multi-species assemblages can help identify key resources in their habitat by evaluating
how they are partitioning their resources. Here we used the isotopic niche of loggerhead …

Ecosystem engineers create habitat and provide conditions otherwise unavailable for the
development of diverse communities. In marine soft-bottoms in particular, the biodiversity …

Kelp species function as foundation organisms along almost one third of the world's
coastlines, where they underpin diverse and productive forest habitats. The three …

Differentials between the invertebrate biodiversity of seagrass (S) and of adjacent bare
sediment (B) were investigated at 8 localities spaced along the axial gradient of an estuarine …

Amphipods are one of the dominant epifaunal groups in seagrass meadows. However, our
understanding of the biogeographical patterns in the distribution of these small crustaceans …

As human-induced environmental changes reduce niche opportunities from global to local
scales, permanent shifts in species traits alter ecosystem processes. Disentangling …

Baseline data on the distribution and extent of biogenic habitat-forming species at a high
spatial resolution are essential to inform habitat management strategies, preserve …

We examined the abundance and diversity of seagrass leaf meiofauna, with special
emphasis on harpacticoid copepods (Crustacea), in Thalassodendron ciliatum seagrass …

Seagrass meadows are undergoing significant decline locally and globally from human and
climatic impacts. Seagrass decline also impacts seagrass-dependent macrofauna benthic …
