Testing coir (coconut) fiber as a novel, biodegradable material for coral reef restoration: coir interactions with larval and juvenile corals

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
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.

Evidence of Cheliped Autotomy and Regeneration in the Lower Miocene Crab Achelous monspeliensis From Portugal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Crab autotomy with evidence of regeneration is described for the first time in the fossil record. Autotomy is a defensive behavior that affects more males than females of Achelous monspeliensis and may be related to mating season. ABSTRACT Autotomy—the voluntary shedding of a limb as a defensive response to predation, intraspecific aggression, or ...

Quantifying attributes of boring bivalve populations in corals using micro-computed tomography

Frontiers in Marine Science
Bioerosion plays a crucial factor in shaping the structure and function of coral reef ecosystems, with bioeroders actively altering both the physical and ecological dynamics of coral substrates.

Marine Heatwave Hotspots in Coral Reef Environments: Physical Drivers, Ecophysiological Outcomes, and Impact Upon Structural Complexity

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
A changing climate is driving increasingly common and prolonged marine heatwaves (MHWs) and these extreme events have now been widely documented to severely impact marine ecosystems globally.

Multidisciplinary Exploration of Computed‐Tomographic and Ancient‐DNA Data of an Iron Age Skull From Latvia With Multiple Lytic Bone Lesions: Differential Diagnosis Between Metastatic Carcinoma, Multiple Myeloma and Skeletal Tuberculosis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
In this study we used a combined computed tomographic and archaeogenetic approach to analyse a skull and vertebra with lytic lesions from a disturbed grave in the Čunkāni‐Dreņģeri cemetery in Latvia, dated to 10th century CE. Both methodologies were used to evaluate a proposed differential diagnosis of multiple myeloma, metastatic carcinoma and bone ...

Coral Reef Bioerosion in the Eastern Tropical Pacific

, 2016
Bioerosion, the weakening and erosion of hard substrates by boring, etching, and grazing organisms, is a major structuring force on coral reefs of the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP).

Herbivory through the lens of ecological processes across Pacific coral reefs

Ecosphere
Coral reefs are in global decline primarily due to climate change. Herbivory is often viewed as key to maintaining coral‐dominated reefs, and herbivore management is gaining traction as a possible strategy for promoting reef resilience.

Recording Kimmeridgian Palaeoclimate Changes Using Biofacial and Isotopic Analyses of Benthic Foraminifers From Normandy (Northwest France)

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract During the Kimmeridgian, the Wealdian Basin experienced several periodic disaerobic events, interpreted as the result of extensive rainfall patterns, high sea level and moderate stratification of the water column. These events are recorded in different regions of UK and France.
