Photoautotrophic Euendoliths and Their Complex Ecological Effects in Marine Bioengineered Ecosystems
Diversity, 2022 Photoautotrophic euendolithic microorganisms are ubiquitous where there are calcium carbonate substrates to bore into and sufficient light to sustain photosynthesis. The most diverse and abundant modern euendolithic communities can be found in the marine

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Coral populations have declined in recent decades, largely due to anthropogenic climate change. In response, coral restoration projects are being implemented, and rubble stabilization is one such approach. Rubble beds form when dead coral fragments accumulate on the seafloor and can be mobilized by water flow.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 The carbonatic scleraxis of Corallium rubrum (L.), commonly known as red coral, is often found infested by excavating sponges. These boring organisms produce galleries inside the compact axis of the coral in a variety of shapes compromising the integrity

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1073-1090, June 2026.ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

Bioerosion by pit-forming, temperate-reef sea urchins: History, rates and broader implications.
PLoS ONE, 2018 Sea urchins are dominant members of rocky temperate reefs around the world. They often occur in cavities within the rock, and fit so tightly, it is natural to assume they sculpted these "pits." However, there are no experimental data demonstrating they ...

, 2022 Shellfish, mussels, snails, and other aquatic animals, which assimilate limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) to build shells and skeletons, are effective carbon sinks that help mitigate the greenhouse effect.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Photosymbiotic scleractinian corals are major bioengineers in tropical coastal waters, where they build structurally complex geological features and provide substrata for a manifold of macro and microhabitats. On a local scale, ecological competition and

Wild pig habitat use impacted by prescribed fire in the William B. Bankhead National Forest, USA
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Natural resource management activities like integrated wild pig control programs and 3–5‐year interval prescribed burning can reduce wild pig activity and habitat but can have an unintended side effect of allowing them to thrive in sensitive and protected areas, where access and tools are restricted.

Bioerosion on spinicaudata shells from a Triassic freshwater paleolake, Mendoza, Argentina
, 2019 Bioerosion by microorganisms is termed microbioerosion. In aquatic systems, microbioerosion affects various substrates, most commonly relatively soluble ones such as sulfates, phosphates, and carbonates.
