Ocean warming can modify the ecophysiology and distribution of marine organisms, and
relationships between species, with nonlinear interactions between ecosystem components …

In being at the base of the marine food web, phytoplankton is particularly important for
marine ecosystem functioning (eg, biodiversity). Strong anthropization, over-exploitation of …

Regionalisation aims at delimiting provinces within which physical conditions, chemical

D'Ortenzio and Ribera d'Alcalà (2009, DR09 hereafter) divided the Mediterranean Sea into
“bioregions” based on the climatological seasonality (phenology) of phytoplankton. Here we …

A circulation model is coupled to a Lagrangian particle-tracking model to simulate the
transport floating litter particles in the Aegean Sea, Greece (Eastern Mediterranean) …

In this essay we briefly describe climate change in the Mediterranean Sea Large Marine
Ecosystem (LME) using different indices. We further describe the evolution of yearly catches …

The present review constitutes an updated and integrated assessment of phytoplankton
spatiotemporal dynamics in the Aegean Sea, based on data compiled from numerous …

The high spatial and temporal variability of biogeochemical features, induced by local
