'algae'is an unnatural (and, some suggest, outdated) grouping that encompasses several …

Rafts of drifting pelagic Sargassum that are circulating across the Atlantic Ocean are
complex ecosystems composed of a large number of associated species. Upon massive …

Despite the importance of dispersal behavior in the eco-evolutionary responses of species

This paper examines short-term stability and movement patterns of the mobile epifaunal
assemblage inhabiting a dense subtidal bed of the fucalean seaweed Carpophyllum …

Disturbance in coral reef environments commonly results in an algal community dominated
by highly productive, small filamentous forms and cyanobacteria, collectively known as algal …

Macroalgae play important ecological roles, including as hosts for a wide range of epifauna.
However, the diversity relationships between macroalgae and epifauna are poorly …

Sampling efficiency of several sieve mesh sizes (2, 1, 0.5, 0.2 and 0.1 mm) was tested in
invertebrate assemblages associated to Sargassum stenophyllum. Samples of this brown …
