Mesophotic octocoral larval settlement preferences and behaviors

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Lab‐based coral reproduction is advancing restoration efforts to support coral populations injured by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Objectives This study aimed to answer foundational questions concerning coral spawning and larval settlement that need to be resolved for these mesophotic and deep‐sea coral species before ...

Integrating natural baselines into ecosystem restoration: scaling herbivore targets for European landscapes

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Herbivore‐mediated ecosystem processes are fundamental to biodiversity, yet have been greatly diminished by megafauna extinctions and replacement of wild herbivores by managed livestock. With increasing restoration ambitions—including the United Nations' (UN) Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the European Union (EU) Nature ...

Diel release timing is a critical determinant of reef fish survival in Post‐larval Capture, Culture, and Release

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Predation is a dominant force shaping survival of coral reef fishes. Synchronous, nocturnal settlement during low‐light, new moon periods may have developed as an adaptive response to intense predation during settlement. Post‐larval Capture, Culture, and Release (PCCR), where juvenile fishes are released directly to the reef ...

Antifouling capacity of substrate materials and their effects on settlement and post‐settlement survival of Acropora palmata and Orbicella faveolata

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In coral reef restoration, sexual reproduction is a key methodology to enhance coral population recovery. However, post‐settlement survival remains a major bottleneck, as spat are particularly vulnerable to competition with fouling organisms.

Kelp‐boulder transplants for habitat restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Degraded habitats present a major barrier to the survival and recovery of threatened marine species, particularly where structural or biogenic complexity has been lost, and natural regeneration ability is uncertain. Despite growing interest in habitat restoration, techniques rarely deliver rapid improvements at the necessary ...

Global patterns in multi‐realm and multi‐habitat ecological restoration: implications for research, practice, and monitoring

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration projects are rapidly expanding in size, complexity, and frequency globally, driven by international agreements and an increased recognition of the efficacy of actions for biodiversity. Upscaling restoration will increasingly necessitate the restoration of multiple physically or functionally connected ...

Systematic and Taxonomic Revision of Ostrea stentina Species Complex (Bivalvia: Ostreidae): New Insights From a Topotype‐Based Integrative Approach

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cryptic marine species complexes with plastic morphology, shallow divergence, and broad distributions are among the hardest taxonomic problems in zoology. The Ostrea stentina complex, reported across the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indo‐Pacific, is a striking example. We present the first topotype‐anchored integrative revision of this complex,

Teaching Through Making: |xam and !xun Material Culture of the Bleek and Lloyd Collection

Museum Anthropology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Spring 2027.
ABSTRACT At Wits Art Museum (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa) is a small collection donated to the former Wits Museum of Ethnology by Percival Kirby in 1952. A note in the accession register ties the items into the context of the renowned ‘Bushman researches’ of Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd in Cape Town in the 1870s and ...
