Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Aschwin H Engelen"
- Aschwin H Engelen's recent research primarily focuses on the ecological interactions and microbiomes associated with marine macroalgae, particularly emphasizing the impact of non-indigenous species on local fish communities and coastal ecosystems.
- Key findings highlight the foraging behavior of native fish on both native and invasive macroalgae, showcasing the significance of biotic interactions in the resistance of local communities against invasions, as well as the genetic resources of macroalgal microbiomes for potential biotechnological applications.
- Engelen's investigations into the effects of environmental stressors, such as rising sea temperatures, reveal critical insights into the resilience of seagrass ecosystems and the dynamics of microbial communities associated with various macroalgae across changing coastal environments.
