The cryptogenic parasite Haplosporidium pinnae invades the Aegean Sea and causes the collapse of Pinna nobilis populations (2019, background): “Despite its protection, in many Mediterranean countries it is still illegally exploited (Katsanevakis 2007) and even served in restaurants (Katsanevakis et al. 2011).”
How to fit nonlinear plant growth models and calculate growth rates: an update for ecologists (2012, methodology): “Generalized additive models can also be applied when the biomass trajectory conforms to no simple parametric form (Katsanevakis 2007;Wood 2006), and the use of the predict.gam function in the packagemgcv can permit the calculation of function-derived growth rates.”
S.O.S. Pinna nobilis: A Mass Mortality Event in Western Mediterranean Sea (2017, background): “…activities, including recreational and commercial fishing, ornamental harvesting, and accidental killing by anchoring, bottom nets and trawlers (Vicente and Moreteau, 1991; Richardson et al., 2004; Katsanevakis, 2007; Hendriks et al., 2013; Deudero et al., 2015; Vázquez-Luis et al., 2015).”
