Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine ecosystems are faced with threats mainly due to overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution, biological invasions, and climate change. All these threats can cause devastating effects and consequent loss of marine biodiversity. The aim of this Special Issue is to compile the current trends and research directions of internationally renowned and successful young marine biologists (less than 40 years old and less than 10 years from the achievement of the research doctorate). At least one of the young scientists must cover a relevant position (first, last or corresponding author) in the submitted manuscript. All valuable research in the main fields of marine biology is welcome.
Dr. Bianca Maria Lombardo
