Barcoding‐Inferred Biodiversity of Shallow‐Water Indo‐Pacific Demosponges

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The Indo‐Pacific is the world's largest marine biogeographic region. It is characterised by different degrees of connectivity among its subregions and harbours the majority of demosponge species currently known to science. Comparisons between regional sponge faunas have been undertaken in the past, mostly based on morphological species ...

The long–term survival of bone: the role of bioerosion

open access: yes, 2002
Fossil bones (N = 350) spanning more than 350 million years, and covering a wide range of depositional environments, were studied to compare the distribution of microbial destruction features in fossil bones with previously published data sets of bones ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Palaeoecology of Middle Devonian epizoans and their Paraspirifer hosts

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 2, 2026.
Abstract The Silica Shale brachiopod, Paraspirifer bownockeri, of Ohio and Michigan, USA, preserves a unique window into Middle Devonian communities, as individuals hosted numerous epibionts. Herein, we use qualitative and quantitative methods to test hypotheses regarding the palaeoecology of these brachiopod hosts and their epibionts.

Herbivory through the lens of ecological processes across Pacific coral reefs

open access: yesEcosphere
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.

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

The ecology of the grazing urchin Echinometra mathaei at Ningaloo Marine Park

open access: yes, 2012
Sea urchins can have a significant influence upon the ecological structure of coral reefs through both bioerosion of substrata and by affecting competition for space.

Bioerosion on the small scale – examples from the tropical and subtropical littoral

open access: yes, 2012
The purpose of this paper is to provide a practical guide assisting field workers in identification and interpretation of bioerosional textures created in limestone and other substrates by intertidal organisms.
