Technical note: Mapping benthic marine habitats featuring coralligenous bioconstructions: a new approach to support geobiological research [PDF]

Ocean Science
Seabed mapping represents a very useful tool for seascape characterization and benthic habitat study and requires advanced technologies for acquiring, processing, and interpreting remote data.

Evidence of parental care as a newly identified reproductive isolating barrier

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Behavioural variation can contribute to reproductive isolation and can be an important driver of speciation. Here, we show that a previously undescribed mechanism, parental care, can function as a postzygotic reproductive isolating barrier when dysregulated in hybrids.

Assessing the Impact of Climate Change on the Distribution of Portunus trituberculatus in Zhoushan Fishing Ground by Using the Maximum Entropy Method (MaxEnt)

Fishes
Based on previous studies and the ecological characteristics of Portunus trituberculatus, we hypothesized that climate change could substantially reshape its suitable habitat in Zhoushan fishing ground. Under present-day climate conditions (2010–2020), P.

Direct, but not indirect, predation‐risk cues deter larval settlement in a scyphozoan jellyfish

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Predators can shape population dynamics before consumption occurs, with prey using chemical information to guide larval settlement. We show that jellyfish larvae (Aurelia coerulea) respond selectively to predation‐risk cues, reducing settlement in response to predator presence and active predation cues, but not to residual cues from previously preyed ...

Sustainable Development Goals Applied to the Maritime Transportation Sector: Setting Sail for the Future

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to eradicate poverty, protect the environment, and promote prosperity through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving these goals requires a multi‐sectoral approach. Maritime transportation, vital to the global economy, significantly contributes to several SDGs and plays a strategic ...

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Osteological, Biological, and Genetic Consequences of Colonization of Fresh Waters by Marine Cottoid Fishes (Cottidae)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Lacustrine forms of Triglopsis from North American and European lakes are at different stages of evolution, making them a suitable model for testing hypotheses about evolutionary patterns and rates. An integrative analysis of morphological, genetic, and biological adaptations occurring in lacustrine forms of the genus Triglopsis was carried out.

The influence of habitat heterogeneity and disturbance on benthic community structure in deep-sea polymetallic nodule environments and management implications for seabed mining

Frontiers in Marine Science
Habitat heterogeneity is known to influence faunal community structure, but its influence on deep-sea benthic communities remains understudied, particularly for polymetallic nodule environments in abyssal waters.
