Abstract: Effects of moderate-to-severe sediment contamination may be readily discernable in both sediment toxicity bioassays and benthic community assessments. However, the impact may be less obvious under conditions of relatively mild contamination and significant variation of… read more here.

Abstract: Surface sediments contamination (heavy metals, organochlorine pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans) and benthic community of the Valli di Comacchio, were analysed from 2002 to 2013. Along the studied period, most of analysed… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Disentangling the bottom-up controls of natural ecosystems is key to understanding the capacity of local communities to resist natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Here, we used carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios with a Bayesian… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2019.00551
Abstract: Coral reefs are facing unprecedented global, regional and local threats that continue to degrade near-shore habitats. Water quality degradation due to unsustainable development practices at coastal watersheds is one of the greatest stressors across multiple… read more here.
