Temperate carbonate cycling and water mass properties from intertidal to bathyal depths (Azores) [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2010
The rugged submarine topography of the Azores supports a diverse heterozoan association resulting in intense biotically-controlled carbonate-production and accumulation. In order to characterise this cold-water (C) factory a 2-year experiment was carried

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

Advancing Symbiodiniaceae Functional Ecology Through a Trait‐Based Framework

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates are central to coral reef functioning, supporting primary production, nutrient cycling, calcification, and influencing coral thermal tolerance through intracellular symbiosis. Despite their ecological importance, these symbionts have not yet been incorporated into a formal functional ecology framework due to challenges ...

A 3D Innovative Approach Supporting the Description of Boring Sponges of the Precious Red Coral Corallium rubrum

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

Reproduction on the Rocks: Life History of a Freshwater Macrobioeroding Bivalve

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Macrobioerosion, the excavation and removal of consolidated mineral substrates by macrofauna, is well established in marine systems, where macrobioeroders drive carbonate cycling, sediment production and habitat formation. In freshwater ecosystems, however, it has been documented in only a small number of invertebrate taxa and remains a poorly

Approaching microbial bioerosion

Facies, 2019
The participation of microorganisms in construction and destruction of sedimentary structures is widely recognized, and so is the importance of studying such geological processes in modern systems, where the conditions, participating forces, and the results can be observed and recorded.

Altered Coral‐Turf Algae Competition Leads to the Passive Dissolution of Coral Skeletons Under Ocean Acidification

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Under ocean acidification, turf algae are favored over corals, shifting the competition outcome and decreasing coral survival. The local pH microenvironment under the turf, resulting from associated biological activity, drives the dissolution of the coral carbonate skeleton.

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 ...

Which attributes of restored oyster reefs provide the best habitat for sportfish?

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Restoration practitioners seek to restore oyster ecosystems as habitat designed for species targeted by recreational fisheries, but they require information on which specific habitat parameters of oyster reefs are preferred by fish.
