DOI: 10.1007/s10452-021-09873-2
Abstract: The 1983 die-off of the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum was linked to dramatic increases in macroalgal biomass and abundance on Caribbean coral reefs. D. antillarum densities have only recently begun to recover, and on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2021.105508
Abstract: Temperate reefs are being tropicalized worldwide. In temperate Western Australia, a marine heatwave led to a regime shift from kelp (Ecklonia radiata) dominated to canopy-free reefs, together with an increase in tropical herbivorous fishes that… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.1046263
Abstract: Introduction Mosquitoes either biologically or mechanically transmit various vector-borne pathogens affecting pigs. Mosquito species display a wide variety of host preference, as well as host attraction and behaviours. Mosquito species attraction rates to- and feeding… read more here.

Feeding preferences and the effect of temperature on feeding rates of the graceful kelp crab, Pugettia gracilis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.15223
Abstract: Graceful kelp crabs (Pugettia gracilis) are abundant consumers in shallow subtidal ecosystems of the Salish Sea. These dynamic habitats are currently experiencing multiple changes including invasion by non-native seaweeds and ocean warming. However, little is… read more here.
