Structural changes in phytoplankton communities have large influence on marine elemental
cycling, food web dynamics and carbon export. Here we used data from two field …

Tropical marine ecosystems are highly biodiverse and provide resources for small-scale
fisheries and tourism. However, precise information on fish spatial distribution is lacking …

A topography change in the continental plain plays an important role in nutrient
replenishment mechanisms in oligotrophic oceans. Effects of the topography on the nutrient …

Deposits of seabird guano on marine shores have drawn the attention of companies and
naturalists for centuries. Among notable effects, allochthonous energy/matter inputs by …

Organisms tend to exhibit phenotypes that can be shaped by climate, commonly
demonstrating clinal variations along latitudinal gradients. In vertebrates, air temperature …

Ulva ohnoi is a green macroalga with fast growth and high rates of nitrogen and phosphorus
absorption. Recently, this species has been recorded in several places with record green …

Abiotic and biotic factors are known drivers that modulate community assembly from a
