Metals' Adsorption Onto Environmental Microplastics at Shoreline Sediments
ABSTRACT This study assessed trace element concentrations and microplastic (MP) contamination in three sandy beaches on the southern coast of Ilha Grande (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Environmental MPs were manually extracted from sand samples, and beaches were classified using the microplastic pollution index (MPPI).

Our research leverages a natural, ecosystem‐scale experiment and cutting‐edge molecular isotope approaches to reveal that coral reef food web structure and energy flow can remain consistent across a gradient of human disturbance. Abstract Habitat degradation and overexploitation are key drivers of biodiversity loss globally.

Quantifying fish‐derived nutrient hotspots across reefscapes
We show how reef structural complexity at multiple scales shapes fish‐driven nutrient hotspots and benthic enrichment. By identifying thresholds in relief and fine‐scale complexity, our study reveals when and where nutrient hotspots may form on coral reefs, offering practical guidance for coral reef restoration and ecosystem management.

Tracking data from ~10 g songbirds illuminate how weather conditions affect the initiation of long‐distance migratory flights across the Gulf of Mexico during autumn and spring. Seasonal differences and weak migratory connectivity near the Gulf suggest adaptive responses to weather, with future climate trends potentially reducing crossing favorability ...

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.
