The interplay of substrate nature and biofilm formation in regulating Balanus amphitrite Darwin, 1854 larval settlement
The settlement of marine larvae is influenced by a wide range of physical and biological
factors. It is still poorly known how the nature of substrate and the biofilm can interact in …

Bio-mineralogy as a structuring factor for marine epibenthic communities
The mineralogical features of the substrate were generally considered a minor factor in
structuring marine benthic communities. The aim of this work is to verify whether the …
