Gregarious behaviours are common in animals and provide various benefits such as food acquisition and protection against predators. Many gregarious tropical species are shifting...

Predation is a key modifier of community dynamics, but information on its magnitude in community regulation in systematically understudied Arctic coastal habitats is sparse. To...

Here we evaluate the biological response (mortality, growth and net calcification rates) of a marine calcifier, the larvae of the sea urchin Echinus esculentus, to different...

We tested the antagonistic effects of three strains of the dinoflagellate HAB species Alexandrium catenella on three target species (the chlorophyte Tetraselmis sp., the...

We performed a common garden experiment where juveniles of blue mussels with different historical contact with crabs were exposed to either a control environment, crab chemical...

We evaluated the neuromolecular mechanisms behind the behavioural disruption of cleaning interactions in response to future environments. We subjected cleaner wrasses and...

We used a controlled laboratory experiment to test the concurrent effects of projected future summer and winter ocean temperatures, ocean acidification, and novel species...

We used a controlled laboratory experiment to test the concurrent effects of projected future summer and winter ocean temperatures, ocean acidification, and novel species...

Ocean acidification (OA) is a major threat to coral reefs, which are built by calcareous species. However, long-term assessments of the impacts of OA are scarce, limiting the...

Despite a growing interest in identifying tipping points in response to environmental change, our understanding of the ecological mechanisms underlying non-linear ecosystem...

Coralline algae are a crucial component of reef systems, stabilising reef substrate, providing habitat and contributing to accretion. Coralline algae and their surface microbial...

Recent marine climate change research has largely focused on the response of individual species to environmental changes including warming and acidification. The response of...

Increasing pCO2 (partial pressure of CO2 ) in an "acidified" ocean will affect phytoplankton community structure, but manipulation experiments with assemblages briefly...

The file specifies the ecological parameters (abundance and biomass by species, evenness and Shannon index) of each taxon identified in the samples of the predator exclusion...

Species richness and individual abundance for each species in the predator exclusion experiment in the Thiisbuktaintertidal, Svalbard during 2017. The file specifies species and...

Species richness and individual abundance for each species in the predator exclusion experiment in the Longyearbyen intertidal, Svalbard during 2017. The file specifies species...

We investigated the responses of the ecologically dominant Antarctic phytoplankton species Phaeocystis antarctica (a prymnesiophyte) and Fragilariopsis cylindrus (a diatom) to a...

The occurrence of various marine macroalgae in the same niche will inevitably lead to interspecific competition due to similar environmental requirements. With the increasing...

This study reports on experiments performed with a Northwest Atlantic species of the macroalgae, Ulva, and the seagrass, Zostera marina, grown under ambient and elevated levels...

Change in the nutritional quality of phytoplankton is a key mechanism through which ocean acidification can affect the function of marine ecosystems. Copepods play an important...
