TL;DR: All marine groups studied suggest the exclusion of Cabo Verde from the remaining Macaronesian archipelagos and thus, CaboVerde should be given the status of a biogeographic subprovince within the West African Transition province.

TL;DR: Overall, the number of animals increased in areas with experimentally increased microhabitat area, and there was evidence that this was the result of immigration (larger animals) but also of increased recruitment.

TL;DR: This work is aimed at providing information on the protein and fiber content of the locally consumed species of seaweeds to promote this regional food product that can be potentially profitable from the biotechnology and commercial perspective, and also benefit public health, particularly, taking into account the low level of marine pollution in the Azores archipelago.

TL;DR: The regular consumption of these algae allied with the low level of seawater pollution around Azores Islands will improve human health conditions and will have a protective effect on the most common degenerative diseases.

TL;DR: Almost all the species (except G. paganellus and P. lozanoi ) were found to spawn inside the lagoon, and there is an indication that temperature influenced the start of growth in spring.
