Among them, the aesthetic value of biodiversity is of strong importance as it contributes to human well-being and increases the collective willingness to engage in conservation efforts. Using the endangered coralligenous reefs along the French Mediterranean coastline as a case study, we propose a ...
Humans are a fundamental part of ecosystems and rely on them to support a wide array of their needs. The extent of environmental stressors connected to human activities thus makes understanding social–ecological linkages of central importance for the analysis of almost any action related to securing...
Variations in importance and intensity of competition underpin context dependency in the effects of an invasive seaweed on resident assemblages. Mar. Biol. 162, 485–489 (2015). Article Google Scholar Tomas, F., Box, A. & Terrados, J. Effects of invasive seaweeds on feeding preference and ...
Despite their potential importance in ecological interactions and the evolution of biodiversity, their function and the mechanisms by which these polymorphisms are maintained are still poorly understood. Here, we combine field observations with life history and molecular data to compare four sympatric ...
These findings point to how connectivity adds complexity to ecological systems, and how patches of small size in fragmented landscapes, can have disproportionally high importance on large-scale processes and the generation of ecosystem services. Andersson and Bodin (2008) adapted this approach to the ...

Why is Machu Picchu of great archaeological importance? Why would trees be j-shaped? Why are most volcanoes cone shaped? Why is the Sahara Desert an ecosystem? Why are trilobites important to oceanography? Why are basalt and granite important igneous rocks?
The common tropical sea urchin Diadema antillarum Philippi is the dominant herbivore on fringing coral reefs in Barbados, West Indies. The biological importance of Diadema as an agent of energy transfer was evaluated from energy budgets constructed for the population and for individuals of 10 size ...
