Abstract: In the Mediterranean, habitat-forming corals often characterize essential fish habitats. While their distribution is sufficiently known for the western basin, few data are available from the Central-Eastern Mediterranean Sea (CEM). This study fills this gap… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.106747
Abstract: Abstract Complexity provided by habitat-forming species in marine ecosystems has been linked to higher species richness and biodiversity as well as enhancing ecosystem functioning. This study assesses how the presence of biogenic component of benthic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jplph.2018.10.005
Abstract: Organisms from all domains of life can have highly variable morphologies, with this plasticity suggested to increase fitness and survivability under stressful conditions. Predicting how organisms will adapt to environmental change requires an understanding of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41522-017-0044-z
Abstract: Host-associated microbial communities play a fundamental role in the life of eukaryotic hosts. It is increasingly argued that hosts and their microbiota must be studied together as 'holobionts' to better understand the effects of environmental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpy.13180
Abstract: Infectious diseases affecting habitat‐forming species can have significant impacts on population dynamics and alter the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems. Recently, a fungal infection was described as the causative agent of necrotic lesions on… read more here.
