A good understanding of the mechanisms and magnitude of the impact of invasive alien
species on ecosystem services and biodiversity is a prerequisite for the efficient prioritisation …

Introductions of non-indigenous species (NIS) are mostly discussed through their impact on
biodiversity. However, NIS can also act as ecosystem engineers, influencing the habitat …

Dreissenid mussels have been exceptionally successful invaders in North American lakes
and rivers, especially in the lower Laurentian Great Lakes. As benthic filter feeders capable …

CO2-consumption by chemical weathering of silicates and resulting silicate/carbonate
weathering ratios influences long-term climate changes. However, little is known of the …

To evaluate the stability and resilience 1 of coastal ecosystem communities to perturbations
that occurred during the Anthropocene, 2 pre-industrial biodiversity baselines inferred from …

Measurement of biogenic silica (BSi) in the suspended matter of estuarine and coastal
waters is not trivial because of the interference of lithogenic silica (LSi) that can represent up …

Ecological models suggest that high diversity can be generated by purely niche‐based,
purely neutral or by a mixture of niche‐based and neutral ecological processes. Here, we …

Understanding how climatic and anthropogenic drivers will influence coastal lagoons is
fundamental to guarantee their preservation and sustainability. The Ria Formosa (coastal …

Seasonal and spatial variations of phytoplankton primary production were studied using a
high frequency sampling strategy in the external (ENW) and internal (INW) part of Arcachon …

When the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas, Thunberg) was introduced into France for
aquaculture in the mid-sixties, it was initially confined to the sites where it was farmed …
