DOI: 10.1007/s00244-020-00768-1
Abstract: Mercury (Hg), particularly as methylmercury (MeHg), is a nonessential, persistent, and bioaccumulative toxic element with high biomagnification capacity and is considered a threat to marine environments. We evaluated total Hg concentrations in liver, kidney, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-017-0114-3
Abstract: Complex adaptive systems provide a unified framework for explaining ecosystem phenomena. In the past 20 years, complex adaptive systems have been sharpened from an abstract concept into a series of tools that can be used to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.02.002
Abstract: Abstract It is necessary to detect how much ecological redundancy or response units (RUs) exist in communities for reducing the “signal-to-noise” ratios of the observed full species data in community-based ecological research and monitoring programs.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.07.032
Abstract: Abstract A high biodiversity is essential to guarantee the stability and functioning of coastal marine ecosystems. In this perspective, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive provides prescriptions to maintain (or restore) marine biodiversity in order to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpol.2021.104409
Abstract: Abstract An ecosystem approach to fisheries management is being developed around the world in an attempt to consider components of marine ecosystems other than just the exploited stocks. While numerous scientific studies on the consequences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2019.01.068
Abstract: Increasingly environmental management seeks to limit the impacts of human activities on ecosystems relative to some 'reference' condition, which is often the presumed pre-impacted state, however such information is limited. We explore how marine ecosystems… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2021.112223
Abstract: To predict the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems and the effectiveness of intervention and mitigation strategies, we need reliable marine ecosystem response models such as biogeochemical models that reproduce climate change effects. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-07059-3
Abstract: From microbes to large predators, there is increasing evidence that marine life is shaped by short-lived submesoscales currents that are difficult to observe, model, and explain theoretically. Whether and how these intense three-dimensional currents structure… read more here.
