Aim: The description of species' ranges provides biogeographical information to explain fundamental macroecological and evolutionary processes. In this study, we investigated the Rapoport's rule for the world's seagrasses, that is, whether the range extent of seagrasses increases from the tropics to the poles. Location: Global. Taxon: Seagrasses. Methods: We examined whether four range geographical metrics: the extent of latitudinal and longitudinal ranges, total distribution area (Km2) and the number of marine ecoregions encompassed by seagrass species, changed according to their latitudinal distribution midpoints. Results: Seagrasses have larger distribution ranges, as indicated by all geographical metrics, close to the equator in both hemispheres, supporting the inverse of the Rapoport's biogeographical pattern. Main Conclusions: The larger distribution ranges of seagrasses towards equatorial regions may be attributed to their origins during warm geologic periods, and the subsequent longer climatic stability in tropical areas leading to climate niche conservatism constraining seagrass evolution.

- Abstract
Global marine conservation remains fractured by an imbalance in research efforts and policy actions, limiting progression towards sustainability. Rhodolith beds represent a prime example, as they have ecological importance on a global scale, provide a wealth of ecosystem functions and services, including biodiversity provision and potential climate change mitigation, but remain disproportionately understudied, compared to other coastal ecosystems (tropical coral reefs, kelp forests, mangroves, seagrasses). Although rhodolith beds have gained some recognition, as important and sensitive habitats at national/regional levels during the last decade, there is still a notable lack of information and, consequently, specific conservation efforts. We argue that the lack of information about these habitats, and the significant ecosystem services they provide, is hindering the development of effective conservation measures and limiting wider marine conservation success. This is becoming a pressing issue, considering the multiple severe pressures and threats these habitats are exposed to (e.g., pollution, fishing activities, climate change), which may lead to an erosion of their ecological function and ecosystem services. By synthesizing the current knowledge, we provide arguments to highlight the importance and urgency of levelling-up research efforts focused on rhodolith beds, combating rhodolith bed degradation and avoiding the loss of associated biodiversity, thus ensuring the sustainability of future conservation programs.

- Abstract
Seagrasses worldwide provide key habitats for fish assemblages. Biogeographical disparities in ocean climate conditions and seasonal regimes are well-known drivers of the spatial and temporal variation in seagrass structure, with potential effects on associated fish assemblages. Whether taxonomically disparate fish assemblages support a similar range of ecological functions remains poorly tested in seagrass ecosystems. In this study, we examined variation in the abundance, diversity (from a taxonomic and functional perspective), and assemblage structure of fish community inhabiting nine meadows of the seagrass Cymodocea nodosa across three regions in the Mediterranean (Mallorca and Alicante) and the adjacent Atlantic (Gran Canaria), and identified which attributes typifying the structure of meadows, and large-scale variability in ocean climate, contributed most to explaining such ecological variation. Despite a similar total number of species between Mallorca and Gran Canaria, the latter region had more taxonomically and functionally diverse fish assemblages relative to the western Mediterranean regions, which translated into differences in multivariate assemblage structure. While variation in the abundance of the most conspicuous fish species was largely explained by variation in seagrass structural descriptors, most variation in diversity was accounted for by a descriptor of ocean climate (mean seasonal SST), operating at regional scales. Variation in fish assemblage structure was, to a lesser extent, also explained by local variability in seagrass structure. Beyond climatic drivers, our results suggest that lower temporal variability in the canopy structure of C. nodosa meadows in Gran Canaria provides a more consistent source of food and protection for associated fish assemblages, which likely enhances the more abundant and diverse fish assemblages there

The arrival of non-indigenous species into new areas is one of the main processes altering the oceans globally. Macrorhynchia philippina is a large-sized colonial hydrozoan of an invasive nature. To obtain a deeper understanding of the process of colonization of new areas, it is essential to describe the ecological pattern through scales of temporal and spatial variation. In this study, we describe the colonization by M. Philippina of an oceanic island (Gran Canaria Island, Canary Islands, eastern Atlantic). We describe the abundance and size structure patterns of M. Philippina in three nearshore habitats, rocky reefs, seagrass meadows and rhodolith seabeds, at times before (2014), during (2016) and after (2017) the demographic explosion of this species. On rocky reefs and rhodolith seabeds, the abundance of colonies increased dramatically in 2017 relative to 2014, e.g. from 0 to 138 colonies/100 m2. On seagrass meadows, however, the colonies were smaller. In summary, M. Philippina shows an ecological plasticity to rapidly colonize different types of nearshore habitats, but with varying success., La aparición de especies exóticas es uno de los principales factores que alteran los océanos de forma global. Macrorhynchia philippina es un hidrozoo colonial de tamaño grande y naturaleza invasora. Para tener un mejor conocimiento del proceso de colonización es fundamental describir los patrones ecológicos a escalas de variación temporal y espacial. En este estudio, describimos el proceso de colonización por M. Philippina en una isla oceánica (Gran Canaria, Islas Canarias, Atlántico oriental). Se describen los patrones de abundancia y estructura de tallas de M. Philippina en tres hábitats costeros: arrecifes rocosos, praderas de fanerógamas marinas y fondos de rodolitos, antes (2014), durante (2016) y después (2017) de la explosión demográfica de la especie. Sobre arrecifes rocosos y en fondos de rodolitos, la abundancia de las colonias se incrementó drásticamente en 2017 con relación a 2014, e.g. desde 0 hasta 138 colonias/100 m2; este incremento fue menor en las praderas de fanerógamas marinas. En las praderas marinas, la longitud de las colonias fue más pequeña que sobre arrecifes rocosos y fondos de rodolitos. Consecuentemente, la colonización rápida por M. Philippina demuestra su plasticidad ecológica para colonizar diferentes tipos de hábitats costeros, aunque con diferente éxito.

Understanding the ecological role that artificial structures might play on nearshore fish assemblages requires the collection of accurate and reliable data through efficient sampling techniques. In this work, differences in the composition and structure of fish assemblages between the inner and outer sides of three marinas located in the temperate northern-eastern Atlantic Ocean were tested using three complementary sampling techniques: underwater visual censuses (UVC), baited cameras (BCs) and fish traps (FTs). UVCs and BCs recorded a comparable number and relative abundance of species, which in turn were much greater than those recorded by FTs. This finding supports the use of UVCs and BCs over FTs for broad ecologically studies, especially when dealing with structurally complex habitats such as artificial structures. We found differences in fish assemblage structure between the inner and outer sides of marinas, independently of the sampling method. Four small-sized species (Similiparma lurida, Thalassoma pavo, Sarpa salpa and Symphodus roissali) associated with structurally complex vegetated habitats dominated, in terms of abundance, the outer sides of marinas; Diplodus vulgaris, Diplodus sargus and Gobius niger, species with high ecological plasticity in habitat requirements, dominated the inner sides of marinas. The information provided in this study is of great interest for developing sound monitoring programmes to ascertain the effects of artificial structures on fish communities., La comprensión de papel ecológico que las estructuras artificiales pueden desempeñar en las comunidades de peces litorales requiere la recolección de datos precisos y fiables, a través de técnicas de muestreo eficientes. En este trabajo, las diferencias en la composición y estructura de los poblamientos de peces entre las caras interior y exterior de tres puertos deportivos situados en el océano septentrional Atlántico templado se investigaron mediante tres técnicas de muestreo complementarias: censos visuales (UVC), cámaras con cebo (BC) y trampas para peces (FT). UVC y BC registraron un número comparable de especies y abundancias relativas, que fueron mucho mayores que las registradas por FT. Esta mayor cantidad de datos recogidas apoya el uso de estas técnicas sobre FT en estudios ecológicos, especialmente cuando se trata de hábitats de elevada complejidad estructural como el caso de estructuras artificiales. Encontramos diferencias en los poblamientos de peces entre las caras interior y exterior de los puertos deportivos, independientemente del método de muestreo. Cuatro especies de pequeño tamaño (Similiparma lurida, Thalassoma pavo, Sarpa salpa y Symphodus roissali), asociadas a hábitats vegetales estructuralmente complejos, dominaron, en términos de abundancia, las caras exteriores de los puertos deportivos; Diplodus vulgaris, Diplodus sargus y Gobius niger, especies con alta plasticidad ecológica en los requerimientos del hábitat, dominaron las caras interiores. La información aportada en este estudio es de gran interés para desarrollar programas de monitoreo adecuados para determinar los efectos de las estructuras artificiales en las comunidades de peces.
