Fish populations are linked to each other via dispersal of individuals as eggs, larvae,
juveniles or adults. The understanding of this process, known as connectivity, has a pivotal …

Acoustic telemetry was used to record diel movement and habitat utilization of the salema
(Sarpa salpa)(Teleostei: Sparidae) during three consecutive summers from 2000 to 2002 in …

The rates of seagrass defoliation exerted by the herbivorous fish Sarpa salpa and by the sea
urchin Paracentrotus lividus were evaluated through both direct (tethering experiment) and …

Ecological information on coastal fish distribution patterns and habitat use can be greatly
improved by nocturnal samplings and observations. To this purpose, the structure of a …

It is important to account for the movement behaviour of fishes when designing effective
marine protected areas (MPAs). Fish movements occur across different spatial and temporal …

There is increasing evidence that herbivory in seagrasses is more important than previously
thought. However, little experimental data evaluating the importance of seagrass grazing …

As invasive species spread, the ability of local communities to resist invasion depends on
the strength of biotic interactions. Evolutionarily unused to the invader, native predators or …

We used acoustic telemetry to describe the spatial and temporal patterns of habitat use of
one of the species most targeted by recreational anglers in the NW Mediterranean, Serranus …

The success of marine spatial management and, in particular, the zonation of marine
protected areas (MPAs), largely depends on the good understanding of species' distribution …

Seagrasses provide key ecological services in coastal marine and estuarine environments.
Human activities and environmental changes affect seagrasses compromising their structure …
