The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Non‐Migrant Women and Their Livelihoods in the Sundarbans, Bangladesh
This graphical abstract illustrates the Sundarbans social–ecological system and its influence on women's livelihood strategies, particularly migration and non‐migration decisions. It highlights the interaction between ecological (ecosystem services) and social (institutional interventions, governance) subsystems, shaping livelihood capitals (natural ...

Abstract Fish‐aggregating devices (FADs) are man‐made objects designed to attract fish, with the aim of facilitating spatially heterogeneous aggregations of marine species. These objects influence the structure of pelagic fisheries, consequently affecting fish distributions and interactions. One of the most iconic epipelagic species targeted using FADs

This study presents an Internet of Things (IoT)‐to‐Cloud framework for real‐time monitoring and prediction of the Water Quality Index (WQI) across both extensive and intensive aquaculture systems. By integrating Fuzzy Logic biological thresholds with ML classification, the Random Forest model achieves over 99.5% accuracy in both environments ...

Low‐dose hydrogen peroxide priming shapes Manila clam responses to simulated marine heatwaves, which showed faster burrowing behavior, limited transcriptional disruption, and reduced opportunistic microbiota. A long‐term field trial confirms no detectable adverse effects, supporting redox‐based chemical priming as a feasible resilience strategy in ...

Marine Parasite Biogeography Mirrors Host Patterns Across Latitude, Area, and Diversity
Parasites are integral components of biodiversity, yet they remain poorly represented in large‐scale biogeographic theory. In this study, we test whether marine parasites follow three macroecological patterns established for free‐living taxa, namely that parasite species richness: (1) scales positively with area (both host body size and geographic area)

Legacy effects of European colonialism on hotspots of biocultural diversity threat
Abstract Patterns of biological diversity have been shaped by cultural practices in the past, while in turn, cultures and languages have evolved in close interaction with local species and ecosystems. However, in the Anthropocene, human activities are putting increasingly diverse pressures on ecosystems and cultures, resulting in accelerating threat ...

Systems of reciprocity in human–ocean relationships: Across time, place, language and culture
Abstract In the face of large‐scale marine environmental challenges, solutions that meaningfully capture the complexity of socio‐cultural and economic factors contributing to such issues—and their solutions—are urgently needed. This scoping review explores examples of reciprocity in human–ocean relationships to inform the conceptual underpinning and ...
