Quantifying effects of pollution on biodiversity: a case study of highly diverse molluscan assemblages in the Mediterranean (2005, background): “…in the number of recruits of these species at I is clearly unknown, but the complex suite of changes in chemical, physical, and biological attributes of the habitat as a consequence of sewage discharge can modify the demographic structure of populations (Caley et al. 1996; Fraschetti et al. 2003).”
Contributions of larval biology to crustacean research: a review (2006, background): “Dispersal determines local ecological distributions (see above, supplyside ecology), regional distribution patterns of populations and metapopulations, as well as the geographic range of species (Bowler and Benton, 2005).”
Distribution patterns of sea urchins and barrens in shallow Mediterranean rocky reefs impacted by the illegal fishery of the rock-boring mollusc Lithophaga lithophaga (2003, background): “locations impacted by DMF) could have the potential to increase in number compared with vegetated rocky reefs (control locations) through reduction in juvenile mortality, stressing the importance of post-settlement events in population dynamics of marine organisms (Caley et al. 1996; Hunt and Scheib”
A conceptual framework for marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (2007, background): “For how many species do we know the life cycles, to properly evaluate recruitment? Again, the answer is: very few ( Fraschetti et al. 2003 ).”
