- Abstract
Ocean warming and acidification, decreases in dissolved oxygen concentrations, and changes in primary production are causing an unprecedented global redistribution of marine life. The identification of underlying ecological processes underpinning marine species turnover, particularly the prevalence of increases of warm-water species or declines of cold-water species, has been recently debated in the context of ocean warming. Here, we track changes in the mean thermal affinity of marine communities across European seas by calculating the Community Temperature Index for 65 biodiversity time series collected over four decades and containing 1,817 species from different communities (zooplankton, coastal benthos, pelagic and demersal invertebrates and fish). We show that most communities and sites have clearly responded to ongoing ocean warming via abundance increases of warm-water species (tropicalization, 54%) and decreases of cold-water species (deborealization, 18%). Tropicalization dominated Atlantic sites compared to semi-enclosed basins such as the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas, probably due to physical barrier constraints to connectivity and species colonization. Semi-enclosed basins appeared to be particularly vulnerable to ocean warming, experiencing the fastest rates of warming and biodiversity loss through deborealization.

Paramuricea clavata is an ecosystem architect of the Mediterranean temperate reefs that is currently threatened by episodic mass mortality events related to global warming. The microbiome may play an active role in the thermal stress susceptibility of corals, potentially holding the answer as to why corals show differential sensitivity to heat stress. To investigate this, the prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbiome of P. clavata collected from around the Mediterranean was characterised before experimental heat stress to determine if its microbial composition influences the thermal response of the holobiont. We found that members of P. clavata's microeukaryotic community were significantly correlated with thermal stress sensitivity. Syndiniales from the Dino‐Group I Clade 1 were significantly enriched in thermally resistant corals, while the apicomplexan corallicolids were significantly enriched in thermally susceptible corals. We hypothesise that P. clavata mortality following heat stress may be caused by a shift from apparent commensalism to parasitism in the corallicolid‐coral host relationship driven by the added stress. Our results show the potential importance of corallicolids and the rest of the microeukaryotic community of corals to understanding thermal stress response in corals and provide a useful tool to guide conservation efforts and future research into coral‐associated microeukaryotes.

- Abstract
The accurate delimitation of species boundaries in nonbilaterian marine taxa is notoriously difficult, with consequences for many studies in ecology and evolution. Anthozoans are a diverse group of key structural organisms worldwide, but the lack of reliable morphological characters and informative genetic markers hampers our ability to understand species diversification. We investigated population differentiation and species limits in Atlantic (Iberian Peninsula) and Mediterranean lineages of the octocoral genus Paramuricea previously identified as P. clavata. We used a diverse set of molecular markers (microsatellites, RNA-seq derived single-copy orthologues [SCO] and mt-mutS [mitochondrial barcode]) at 49 locations. Clear segregation of Atlantic and Mediterranean lineages was found with all markers. Species-tree estimations based on SCO strongly supported these two clades as distinct, recently diverged sister species with incomplete lineage sorting, P. cf. grayi and P. clavata, respectively. Furthermore, a second putative (or ongoing) speciation event was detected in the Atlantic between two P. cf. grayi color morphotypes (yellow and purple) using SCO and supported by microsatellites. While segregating P. cf. grayi lineages showed considerable geographic structure, dominating circalittoral communities in southern (yellow) and western (purple) Portugal, their occurrence in sympatry at some localities suggests a degree of reproductive isolation. Overall, our results show that previous molecular and morphological studies have underestimated species diversity in Paramuricea occurring in the Iberian Peninsula, which has important implications for conservation planning. Finally, our findings validate the usefulness of phylotranscriptomics for resolving evolutionary relationships in octocorals.

- Abstract
Climate change is causing an increase in the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves (MHWs) and mass mortality events (MMEs) of marine organisms are one of their main ecological impacts. Here, we show that during the 2015–2019 period, the Mediterranean Sea has experienced exceptional thermal conditions resulting in the onset of five consecutive years of widespread MMEs across the basin. These MMEs affected thousands of kilometers of coastline from the surface to 45 m, across a range of marine habitats and taxa (50 taxa across 8 phyla). Significant relationships were found between the incidence of MMEs and the heat exposure associated with MHWs observed both at the surface and across depths. Our findings reveal that the Mediterranean Sea is experiencing an acceleration of the ecological impacts of MHWs which poses an unprecedented threat to its ecosystems' health and functioning. Overall, we show that increasing the resolution of empirical observation is critical to enhancing our ability to more effectively understand and manage the consequences of climate change.

[eng] Climate change has emerged as one of the greatest and most pervasive threats that our natural heritage will have to face in the coming decades. Together with other anthropogenic pressures such as pollution, overfishing or habitat degradation, climate change is causing enormous impacts on oceans, affecting all kind of marine communities and driving major losses to biodiversity. In this framework of global change, the Mediterranean Sea, which has been identified as one of the major hotspots of marine biodiversity, has also become a hotspot of climate change. Consequently, some of its most emblematic and ecologically important communities are now under threat. This is the case of the coralligenous assemblages, which are temperate benthic communities which stand out for their great structural complexity and exceptional biodiversity (they harbour approximately 10% of Mediterranean species). Most of the constituent species of these communities exhibit high longevity and slow population dynamics. Consequently, they are especially vulnerable to disturbances that increase adults mortality. In fact, thermal anomalies linked to ocean warming have impacted the coralligenous assemblages in several ways during last decades, triggering changes that go from the observed mass mortalities of benthic organisms to potential changes at the community and ecosystem levels. However, despite the increasing interest of the scientific community to conserve the coralligenous, how these benthic communities are responding to climate change at the community level is poorly understood. In this thesis, we have taken this leap by integrating responses from species to the ecosystem level, through populations and communities. In particular, we have combined field observations of ecological and environmental changes, aquaria experiments, ecological theory, and cutting-edge quantitative research to improve our understanding of the bio-ecological consequences of ocean warming for Mediterranean coralligenous assemblages. In the first three chapters, we gathered field and experimental data on sensitivity of several coralligenous species and populations to marine heatwaves (MHWs) by conducting a literature review on previous mass mortality events occurred in the Mediterranean and by carrying out scaled-up thermotolerance experiments. The results of Chapter 1 revealed contrasting patterns of sensitivity to MHWs among different coralligenous species and populations. The posterior multi-specific thermotolerance experiment (including corals, sponges and tunicates) conducted in Chapter 2 confirmed the high response diversity to warming among co-occurring species observed in the field. These results demonstrate that co-occurring species that are taxonomically and morpho- functionally similar can have contrasting thermotolerances. Moreover, the observed patterns suggest that coralligenous assemblages could have certain degree of insurance against MHWs, since the decline of sensitive species could potentially be compensated by other functionally similar species that are more resistant. The results of the multi- population thermal experiment conducted in Chapter 3 with 12 populations of the red gorgonian Paramuricea clavata (Risso, 1826) revealed that this species, which has a key habitat-forming role in coralligenous assemblages, is highly sensitive to thermal stress across its distributional range. Moreover, we found little local adaptation to average thermal regime and little acclimatization to local above-average warm temperatures prior to the experiment. These findings, which were obtained at a spatial scale never addressed before (> 2000 km) for P. clavata, question the adaptive potential of this species to climate change. In Chapter 4, we further explored the vulnerability of Mediterranean habitat- forming octocorals to climate change by exploring the long-term recovery capacity of Corallium rubrum (Linnaeus, 1758) and P. clavata from recurrent MHWs. We explored the long-term trajectories (15 years) of different populations that were firstly impacted by the 2003-MHW in terms of changes in biomass, density and size structure. We found that all impacted populations have followed collapse trajectories. These results further highlight the high vulnerability of these species to the ongoing climate change. Finally, we took the leap from species and populations to the community and ecosystem levels in Chapter 5, to explore if MHWs have driven changes in the functional community structure of coralligenous assemblages, which could imply changes for ecosystem functioning. Specifically, we conducted a multi-taxa, trait-based analysis and found that MHW are shifting the functional identity of coralligenous assemblages (i.e., dominant functional traits). Interestingly, the observed changes were driven primarily by the decline of a single functional group (habitat-forming octocorals), whose species are functionally unique. Consequently, by severely affecting habitat-forming octocorals, MHWs are leading to assemblages that are deficient in key functional traits, likely causing changes in ecosystem functioning. Overall, this thesis provides an integrated, long-term view of the interconnected responses to ocean warming found in coralligenous assemblages. The combined results of this thesis suggest that despite structural changes induced by climate change, most ecosystem functions count on certain degree of insurance against MHWs. However, some essential functions (e.g., 3D-habitat provision) could be highly compromised or even totally disappear, threatening the overall assemblage stability. Given the current climate change trends, identifying and preserving the mechanisms that maintain essential ecosystem functions and the overall ecosystem stability is critical. In this thesis, we have identified the general loss of arborescent octocorals as the greatest disruptive process for coralligenous assemblages. Therefore, the future trajectories of these emblematic Mediterranean communities will greatly depend on the design and implementation of measures that favour the conservation and adaptive management of these key habitat-forming species in the face of climate change.

coralligenous habitat, Mediterranean Sea, marine restoration, thermotolerance, facilitation - Abstract
The temperate coralligenous habitats are considered hotspots of Mediterranean marine biodiversity. These coralligenous bioconcretions are built primarily by the accumulation of encrusting coralline algae growing at low irradiance levels that host numerous long-lived macroinvertebrates with prominent ecological roles. Several pressures, such as fishing activities, invasive species, and recurrent warming-induced mass mortalities, affect coralligenous assemblages and lead to dramatic loss of habitat complexity and biodiversity. One aim of the EU-funded project MERCES, dedicated to marine ecosystems restoration, was to develop innovative active restoration protocols with a focus on coralligenous habitat-forming macroinvertebrates from three key taxonomic groups: Cnidaria/Anthozoa, Porifera/Demospongiae and Bryozoa. These protocols combined transplants from donor organisms and recruitment-enhancing devices, taking into account the life-history traits, population dynamics, and genetics of targeted habitat formers. Our results show that transplantations require low initial effort due to high survival of transplants, but decades will be needed to fully recover habitat complexity because targeted species are slow- growing. In order to speed up recovery, we explored the potential influence of facilitation processes, i.e. positive species interactions. In order to guide the choice of transplant donors, we also aimed to identify thermo-resistant populations and specimens. We thus combined a transregional common garden and whole-genome sequencing to unravel the eco- evolutionary processes driving the differential responses to thermal stress. The outcomes of these works will implement the EU directives and contribute to the strategic planning of restoration initiatives for temperate marine ecosystems in the context of global change.

- Abstract
Anthropogenic climate change, and global warming in particular, has strong and increasing impacts on marine ecosystems (Poloczanska et al., 2013; Halpern et al., 2015; Smale et al., 2019). The Mediterranean Sea is considered a marine biodiversity hot-spot contributing to more than 7% of world's marine biodiversity including a high percentage of endemic species (Coll et al., 2010). The Mediterranean region is a climate change hotspot, where the respective impacts of warming are very pronounced and relatively well documented (Cramer et al., 2018). One of the major impacts of sea surface temperature rise in the marine coastal ecosystems is the occurrence of mass mortality events (MMEs). The first evidences of this phenomenon dated from the first half of'80 years affecting the Western Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea (Harmelin, 1984; Bavestrello and Boero, 1986; Gaino and Pronzato, 1989; Voultsiadou et al., 2011). The most impressive phenomenon happened in 1999 when an unprecedented large scale MME impacted populations of more than 30 species from different phyla along the French and Italian coasts (Cerrano et al., 2000; Perez et al., 2000). Following this event, several other large scale MMEs have been reported, along with numerous other minor ones, which are usually more restricted in geographic extend and/or number of affected species (Garrabou et al., 2009; Rivetti et al., 2014; Marbà et al., 2015; Rubio-Portillo et al., 2016, authors' personal observations). These events have generally been associated with strong and recurrent marine heat waves (Crisci et al., 2011; Kersting et al., 2013; Turicchia et al., 2018; Bensoussan et al., 2019) which are becoming more frequent globally (Smale et al., 2019). Both field observations and future projections using Regional Coupled Models (Adloff et al., 2015; Darmaraki et al., 2019) show the increase in Mediterranean sea surface temperature, with more frequent occurrence of extreme ocean warming events. As a result, new MMEs ar

Marine ecosystems are highly affected by several human stressors. In this context, beyond passive restoration measures such as the creation of marine protected areas, it is urgent that we explore active restoration measures to enhance and accelerate the recovery of sessile marine species.Bryozoans are among the most common sessile invertebrates in rocky bottom ecosystems and are considered habitat‐forming species that are highly vulnerable to physical disturbances, such as recreational diving, ghost fishing nets, and global warming, which makes them highly vulnerable to other impacts. Despite their ecological importance and vulnerability, to date restoration actions for bryozoans have rarely been explored.In this study, different restoration techniques were developed and tested, with a focus on two types of effective methodologies previously applied to other marine invertebrates: recruitment enhancement and the transplantation of adult colonies, in both cases using the Mediterranean bryozoan Pentapora fascialis as a model species.First, different types of artificial surfaces were installed in different coralligenous habitats to test the enhancement of recruitment, concluding that plastic grids are the best substrate in terms of facilitating the recruitment of new bryozoan colonies.Second, different methodologies were tested for adult transplantation. The most successful was to fix colonies to a suitable substrate with a nylon thread attached to the colony ex situ (i.e. on the boat).Using this technique a trial restoration programme was undertaken, involving transplanting adult colonies collected from a ghost fishing net trapped on the bottom, which showed a high survival rate of ~50% after 6 months.The low economic cost of the implementation of the proposed techniques as well as the successful results obtained highlight the viability of restoring bryozoan populations over long temporal and spatial scales.

Este artículo contiene 18 páginas, 4 figuras., Climate change is causing an increase in the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves (MHWs) and mass mortality events (MMEs) of marine organisms are one of their main ecological impacts. Here, we show that during the 2015–2019 period, the Mediterranean Sea has experienced exceptional thermal conditions resulting in the onset of five consecutive years of widespread MMEs across the basin. These MMEs affected thousands of kilometers of coastline from the surface to 45 m, across a range of marine habitats and taxa (50 taxa across 8 phyla). Significant relationships were found between the incidence of MMEs and the heat exposure associated with MHWs observed both at the surface and across depths. Our findings reveal that the Mediterranean Sea is experiencing an acceleration of the ecological impacts of MHWs which poses an unprecedented threat to its ecosystems' health and functioning. Overall, we show that increasing the resolution of empirical observation is critical to enhancing our ability to more effectively understand and manage the consequences of climate change., This paper was supported by Euromarine.

9 pages, 7 figures, supplementary information https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-36094-9, Climate change threatens the structure and function of marine ecosystems, highlighting the importance of understanding the response of species to changing environmental conditions. However, thermal tolerance determining the vulnerability to warming of many abundant marine species is still poorly understood. In this study, we quantified in the field the effects of a temperature anomaly recorded in the Mediterranean Sea during the summer of 2015 on populations of two common sympatric bryozoans, Myriapora truncata and Pentapora fascialis. Then, we experimentally assessed their thermal tolerances in aquaria as well as different sublethal responses to warming. Differences between species were found in survival patterns in natural populations, P. fascialis showing significantly lower survival rates than M. truncata. The thermotolerance experiments supported field observations: P. fascialis started to show signs of necrosis when the temperature was raised to 25–26 °C and completely died between 28–29 °C, coinciding with the temperature when we observed first signs of necrosis in M. truncata. The results from this study reflect different responses to warming between these two co-occurring species, highlighting the importance of combining multiple approaches to assess the vulnerability of benthic species in a changing climate world, This study was partially funded by the “Parc Natural del Montgrí, Illes Medes i Baix Ter” and the “Departament de Territori i Sostenibilitat” of the Catalan Government project, the SMART project (CGL2012-32194) and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 689518 (MERCES).

- Abstract
Ocean warming and acidification, decreases in dissolved oxygen concentrations, and changes in primary production are causing an unprecedented global redistribution of marine life. The identification of underlying ecological processes underpinning marine species turnover, particularly the prevalence of increases of warm-water species or declines of cold-water species, has been recently debated in the context of ocean warming. Here, we track changes in the mean thermal affinity of marine communities across European seas by calculating the Community Temperature Index for 65 biodiversity time series collected over four decades and containing 1,817 species from different communities (zooplankton, coastal benthos, pelagic and demersal invertebrates and fish). We show that most communities and sites have clearly responded to ongoing ocean warming via abundance increases of warm-water species (tropicalization, 54%) and decreases of cold-water species (deborealization, 18%). Tropicalization dominated Atlantic sites compared to semi-enclosed basins such as the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas, probably due to physical barrier constraints to connectivity and species colonization. Semi-enclosed basins appeared to be particularly vulnerable to ocean warming, experiencing the fastest rates of warming and biodiversity loss through deborealization., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
The octocoral, Paramuricea clavata , is a habitat-forming anthozoan with a key ecological role in rocky benthic and biodiversity-rich communities in the Mediterranean and Eastern Atlantic. Shallow populations of P. clavata in the North-Western Mediterranean are severely affected by warming-induced mass mortality events (MMEs). These MMEs have differentially impacted individuals and populations of P. clavata ( i.e. , varied levels of tissue necrosis and mortality rates) over thousands of kilometers of coastal areas. The eco-evolutionary processes, including genetic factors, contributing to these differential responses remain to be characterized. Here, we sequenced a P. clavata individual with short and long read technologies, producing 169.98 Gb of Illumina paired-end and 3.55 Gb of Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) reads. We obtained a de novo genome assembly accounting for 607 Mb in 64,145 scaffolds. The contig and scaffold N50s are 19.15 Kb and 23.92 Kb, respectively. Despite of the low contiguity of the assembly, its gene completeness is relatively high, including 75.8% complete and 9.4% fragmented genes out of the 978 metazoan genes contained in the metazoa_odb9 database. A total of 62,652 protein-coding genes have been annotated. This assembly is one of the few octocoral genomes currently available. This is undoubtedly a valuable resource for characterizing the genetic bases of the differential responses to thermal stress and for the identification of thermo-resistant individuals and populations. Overall, having the genome of P. clavata will facilitate studies of various aspects of its evolutionary ecology and elaboration of effective conservation plans such as active restoration to overcome the threats of global change., (Copyright © 2020 Ledoux et al.)
