Home ranges of economically important reef fishes at North Carolina artificial reefs
Animal BiotelemetryHome range is a vital component to understanding animal ecology and can vary with factors like species, body size, and habitat. Artificial reefs are increasingly used to supplement or enhance habitat for reef fish.

Potential use of offshore marine structures in rebuilding an overfished rockfish species, bocaccio (Sebastes paucispinis) [PDF]
, 2006 Although bocaccio (Sebastes paucispinis) was an economically important rockfish species along the west coast of North America, overfishing has reduced the stock to about 7.4% of its former unfished population. In 2003, using a manned research submersible,

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence

Hox Gene Variation Drives Morphological Specialization of Humpback Grouper Cromileptes altivelis
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Cromileptes altivelis exhibits a distinctive “sunken head and humpback” morphology, formed through cranial remodeling. Genetic analyses identified unique amino acid variants in Hoxa7a and Hoxa10b, with functional tests confirming their role in enhancing osteoblast activity and driving cranial remodeling.

Impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering strategy on Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]
, 2017 Purpose: Currently, negotiation on global carbon emissions reduction is very difficult due to lack of international willingness. In response, geoengineering (climate engineering) strategy is proposed to artificially cool the planet.

MEASURING ARTIFICIAL REEFS USING A MULTI-CAMERA SYSTEM FOR UNMANNED UNDERWATER VEHICLES
, 2020 . Artificial reefs provide an efficient way to improve marine life abundance in the oceans, including growth on the structure itself. Photogrammetric methods provide suitable tools to measure marine growth.
