Texto completoMarine biodiversity regulates ecosystem functions, which are responsible for the production of goods and services for the biosphere and human well-being. Global changes and human activities are altering ocean biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. At present, stemming from the awareness that conservation and management are often not enough to halt and revert the degradation of threatened ecosystems, it has been recognized that active restoration is crucial to cope with this issue. More knowledge is needed to make restoration actions effective, especially for the largely unknown deep ocean. Two of the main activities that will alter marine habitats are ore exploitation and bottom trawling that, resuspending polymetallic and sediment particles, will affect benthic species. In this thesis, the habitat-forming species Corallium rubrum was exposed to these types of particles. After the removal of the disturbance, its feeding rates and tissue integrity partially recovered. This experiment provides new insights on the consequences of these activities as well as on potential mitigation strategies by properly modulating their intensity and duration. Rearing endangered corals in aquaria can be useful for future projects that aim to restore degraded reefs by transplanting healthy colonies. An appropriate diet may positively impinge on their growth or reproduction success. In this perspective, I studied the food selection of cold-water corals (Desmophyllum pertusum, Madrepora oculata and Dendrophyllia cornigera) was studied and these species showed a preference for the crustacean Mysis relicta. Stable isotope analyses provided also novel information on the trophic niches occupied by these coral species in the Mediterranean Sea. After expanding the knowledge on the habitat or the species to be restored, it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the restoration actions that it might be applied. In this thesis, the effects of two pilot transplantation experiments of the seagrass Cymodocea nodosa and the gorgonian Eunicella singularis on ecosystem functioning of surrounding sediments have been studied. The results showed that transplantation can be effective and that it can have also positive effects on key-ecological processes. However, further studies are needed to assess the potential of scaling-up these actions addressing the present scale of species/habitat loss. This work provides new elements for a better understanding of the potential ecological benefits that can contribute to the conservation of the natural capital.

Texto completoPh.D.
Chemosynthetic ecosystems are habitats whose food webs rely on chemosynthesis, a process by which bacteria fix carbon using energy from chemicals, rather than sunlight-driven photosynthesis for primary production, and they are found all over the world on the ocean floor. Although these deep-sea habitats are remote, they are increasingly being impacted by human activities such as oil and gas exploration and the imminent threat of deep-sea mining. My dissertation examines deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems at several ecological scales to answer basic biology questions and lay a foundation for future researchers studying these habitats. There are two major varieties of chemosynthetic ecosystems, hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, and my dissertation studies both. My first chapter begins at cold seeps and at the population level by modeling the population dynamics and lifespan of a single species of tubeworm, Escarpia laminata, found in the Gulf of Mexico. I found that this tubeworm, a foundation species that forms biogenic habitat for other seep animals, can reach ages over 300 years old, making it one of the longest-lived animals known to science. According to longevity theory, its extreme lifespan is made possible by the stable seep environment and lack of extrinsic mortality threats such as predation. My second chapter expands the scope of my research from this single species to the entire cold seep community and surrounding deep-sea animals common to the Gulf of Mexico. The chemicals released at cold seeps are necessary for chemosynthesis but toxic to non-adapted species such as cold-water corals. Community studies in this area have previously shown that seeps shape community assembly through niche processes. Using fine-scale water chemistry samples and photographic mapping of the seafloor, I found that depressed dissolved oxygen levels and the presence of hydrogen sulfide from seepage affect foundation taxa distributions, but the concentrations of hydrocarbons released from these seeps did not predict the distributions of corals or seep species. In my third chapter I examine seep community assembly drivers in the Costa Rica Margin and compare the macrofaunal composition at the family level to both hydrothermal vents and methane seeps around the world. The Costa Rica seep communities have not previously been described, and I found that depth was the primary driver behind community composition in this region. Although this margin is also home to a hybrid “hydrothermal seep” feature, this localized habitat did not have any discernible influence on the community samples analyzed. When vent and seep communities worldwide were compared at the family-level, geographic region was the greatest determinant of community similarity, accounting for more variation than depth and habitat type. Hydrothermal vent and methane seeps are two chemosynthetic ecosystems are created through completely different geological processes, leading to extremely different habitat conditions and distinct sets of related species. However, at the broadest spatial scale and family-level taxonomic resolution, neutral processes and dispersal limitation are the primary drivers behind community structure, moreso than whether the habitat is a seep or a vent. At more local spatial scales, the abiotic environment of seeps still has a significant influence on the ecology of deep-sea organisms. The millennial scale persistence of seeps in the Gulf of Mexico shapes the life history of vestimentiferan tubeworms, and the sulfide and oxygen concentrations at those seeps determine seep and non-seep species’ distributions across the deep seafloor.

Texto completoIn a context of climate change and the erosion of marine biodiversity, ecological monitoring of the most sensitive marine habitats is of paramount importance. In particular, there is a need for operational methods that enable decision-makers and managers to establish relevant conservation measures and to evaluate their effectiveness. TEMPO and RECOR are two monitoring networks focusing on Posidonia meadows and coralligenous reefs, the two richest and most sensitive habitats in the Mediterranean. The objective of this thesis is to meet the needs of effective monitoring of marine habitats by developing methods for assessing their health, based on two key image analysis methods: convolutional neural networks and photogrammetry. The results show that convolutional neural networks are capable of recognizing the main species of coralligenous assemblages in underwater photographs from RECOR, with a precision similar to that of an expert taxonomist. Furthermore, we have shown that photogrammetry can reproduce a marine habitat in three dimensions with a high degree of accuracy, sufficient for monitoring habitat structure and species distribution at a fine scale. Based on these reconstructions, we have developed a method for automatic mapping of Posidonia meadows, enabling temporal monitoring of the ecological quality of this sensitive habitat. Finally, we characterized the three-dimensional structure of coralligenous reefs based on their photogrammetric reconstructions and studied the links with the structuring of the assemblages that make them up. This PhD work has led to the development of operational methods that are now integrated into the TEMPO and RECOR monitoring networks. Results of this work paves the way for future research, in particular concerning characterization of the biological activity of coralligenous reefs thanks to the coupling of photogrammetry, neural networks and underwater acoustics

Texto completoBiodiversity encompasses the diversities of all the living elements from the molecules to the biosphere and several levels of biodiversity can be distinguished. Coralligenous habitats are emblematic calcareous biogenic constructions of the Mediterranean Sea mainly built by calcareous red algae and consolidated by calcareous skeletons built by several mine invertebrates. The complex three-dimensional structure shelters for a huge variety of species, and coralligenous habitats are considered to be one of the biodiversity hotspot of the Mediterranean Sea. The study of the genetic diversity of a engineering calcareous red algae, by capture sequencing, revealed that this nominal species is actually composed of eight cryptic species which relative abundances vary among localities and depth. This approach also showed that genetic diversity in the most abundant cryptic species, is shaped by neutral processes of drift and migration strongly influenced by oceanic currents in Marseilles area. The species diversity in communities was studied using a metabarcoding approach. It revealed the high diversity found in these habitats and the important effect of environmental variables on the species communities composition. The comparison between both level of diversities established that that genetic diversity and species diversity are positively correlated for the alpha component of diversity and uncorrelated for the beta component.These work contribute to improve our knowledge of the biodiversity and ecological functioning of these habitats. Some of the methods developments and tuning implemented during this study could be used in monitoring applications of these habitats

Texto completoGlobal environmental changes and human activities are having significant effects on the composition of marine benthic habitats, disturbing the ecological functioning of many ecosystems. Yet, quantifying ecological responses to habitat changes is challenging because of limitation of current field methods and technology. The aim of this research is to improve the characterization of benthic marine communities by using Structure for Motion (SfM)-based methods. The objectives are (i) to provide a SfM framework to assess the spatial composition of benthic communities and uncover the scale-specific effects that determine sample representativeness; (ii) to apply and test the framework to study the effects of human and environmental pressures on coral reefs; and (iii) to propose a new method for investigating the population structure and biomass of benthic tree-shaped species. The research was carried out at the Partial Marine Reserve of Ponta do Ouro (PPMR, Mozambique) and at the Marine Protected Area of Portofino (Italy). At PPMR, the findings show that the best sampling size is 25 m2. This size allowed capturing the diversity, abundance, structural complexity and morphological functions of reefs' organisms, and investigating changes driven by anthropic activities (i.e. scuba diving). Highly dove sites had low taxa diversity and density, and were characterized by mainly resistant-to-physical-impact organisms (i.e. sponges and algae) of big sizes and with complex shapes. On the contrary, low or moderately dove sites presented fragile-to physical- impact organisms (i.e. Acropora spp.). This research also demonstrated that in addition to abundance and morphological information, the use of SfM point clouds over tree-shaped organisms allows to have accurate prediction of biomass, avoiding to conduct destructive sampling and supporting the calculation of secondary production. To support marine management using SfM to investigate benthic communities, this research emphasizes the need to (i) recognise the need of standardised approaches of SfM method to identify relevant scales for conservation; (ii) develop better approaches to derive quantitative information on marine organisms biodiversity, biomass and on their structural habitat, and (iii) establish further knowledge on the spatial variation of benthic communities as a result of human pressure.

Texto completoThe Mediterranean basin is recognized as a "hotspot" of biodiversity subjected to strong anthropic pressures. In the marine domain, coralligenous habitats greatly contribute to the basin’s biodiversity and their coastal location makes them accessible to humans. The thesis attempts to identify and economically evaluate some of those ecosystem services. I used the concept of \textit{ecosystem service} at a local scale, focusing on the Bay of Marseille (anthropized) and the Port-Cros national park (under minimal human pressure). The first part of the thesis deals with the identification and description of the services rendered by coralligenous habitats in the study areas. The second part of the thesis describes the provisionning services through the application of the concept of ecosystem service cascade as developed by Haines-Young and Potschin. This approach helps to identify the elements and functions of the ecosystem involved in each service, the human beneficiaries and the types of economic benefits associated with the services. This chapter also proposes variables to measure each level of the cascade. The third part of the thesis deals with an analysis of the relationship between the presence of coralligenous habitat and the frequency of dives in the Bay of Marseille. The last part of the thesis employs the method of discrete choices experiment to study the declared preferences in the study areas of Marseille and Port-Cros concerning the services rendered by the coralligenous habitats. This analysis provided insight into how preferences can evolve as initial knowledge is enhanced through the provision of additional information

Texto completoCold-water coral (CWC) habitats formed by colonial scleractinians, gorgonians, antipatharians and sea pens are biodiversity and biomass hotspots that provide important functions, such as shelter and feeding grounds, to other organisms. But, they are also vulnerable to human activities, because they are long-lived, grow slowly and have a low resistance. Submarine canyons may offer the environmental conditions needed for CWC habitat development, due to their steep topography, complex hydrodynamics and substrate heterogeneity. In the Bay of Biscay, which margin is incised by hundreds of canyons, CWCs are known to exist since the late 19th century, but their distribution, density and functional role remained largely unknown, which impaired their preservation.To increase this knowledge, 24 canyons and three locations between adjacent canyons were visited with an ROV and a towed camera system during 46 dives on 7 cruises. Images were analysed for CWC habitats using the CoralFISH classification system. Within these habitats, corals, associated fauna were identified and substrate cover measured. Litter was identified in 15 out of 24 canyons.Eleven coral habitats constructed by 62 coral morphotypes were observed in the canyons of the Bay of Biscay hosting 191 associated megafaunal morphotypes, including 160 unique morphotypes. The distribution patterns at regional and local scales could be linked to hydrodynamics and sedimentary regimes. Substrate type was an important driver for coral and associated faunal assemblages, distinguishing biogenic, hard substrate and soft substrate habitats. Coral assemblages were similar between biogenic and hard substrate habitats, but the associated fauna was more abundant and diverse on biogenic habitats. The alpha, beta and gamma diversity was surprisingly high on soft substrate habitats, equalling or exceeding that of biogenic habitats.Marine litter was abundant and was mainly composed of plastic items and fishing gear. Litter could co-occur with CWCs and impact them: litter and most CWC habitats were observed at similar water depths and litter was more abundant in areas with a seafloor relief created by biological or geological features. Observations of coral reefs on steeper areas in the canyons and coral debris on flatter areas on the interfluve/upper slope may indicate a potential impact of the fishing industry. This study supports the ongoing effort to create a Natura 2000 network that will protect biogenic and hard substrate habitats, but also points out the need to develop a framework for the preservation of coral habitats on soft substrate
