Our study led by Julia Santana-Garcon comparing #herbivory across a #tropicalisation gradient in the #Mediterranean is out! Herbivores mostly targeted #seagrass in the west & #seaweed in the east. This shift suggests seaweed forests are most vulnerable https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2022.1744#

Working in a #tropicalisation hotspot (Tosa Bay Japan) we show that temperate #seaweeds are NOT more palatable than tropical taxa. Overgrazing of #kelp here is likely due to consumption during late summer/ autumn when ephemeral #Sargassum disappears https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-24666-9
