Dominant amphipods of *Posidonia oceanica* seagrass meadows display considerable trophic diversity

Gut content examination and trophic markers (fatty acids, stable isotopes of C and N) were combined to delineate the diet of the dominant species of amphipods from Mediterranean *Posidonia oceanica* seagrass meadows and to highlight trophic diversity …

Towards a framework for assessment and management of cumulative human impacts on marine food webs

Effective ecosystem‐based management requires understanding ecosystem responses to multiple human threats, rather than focusing on single threats. To understand ecosystem responses to anthropogenic threats holistically, it is necessary to know how …

Selective top-down control of epiphytic biomass by amphipods from *Posidonia oceanica* meadows : implications for ecosystem functioning

Mediterranean *Posidonia oceanica* meadows shelter an important biomass and biodiversity of amphipod crustaceans that graze on epiphytes. However, their actual significance for ecosystem functional processes is hard to estimate, due to the lack of …

Biodiversity and seasonal variations of zooneuston in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea

Neuston includes animals and plants inhabiting the surface layer of the water column. The neustonic area is an accumulation zone for bacteria, organic molecules but also terrestrial debris. The surface layer is also the air/water exchange region. …
