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 Comparison of Juvenile and Adult Sunflower Sea Star Transcriptomic Responses to Challenge With Sea Star Wasting Disease Tissue Homogenates

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Sunflower sea stars have been hard hit by sea star wasting disease (SSWD), losing over 5 billion individuals along their natural range from Alaska and Southern California. This work uses transcriptomics to investigate the immune response of adult and juvenile sunflower sea stars exposed to SSWD.

Oyster reef habitat characteristics and nekton communities vary with restoration method in a large‐scale project

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Restoration in coastal ecosystems is revitalizing populations of foundation species that provide valuable habitat to support biodiversity and ecosystem services. The goals of oyster reef restoration include increasing oyster populations and oyster reef ecosystem services such as provision of habitat for commercially and ecologically valuable ...

Corallivore assemblage, feeding behavior, and cover of Acropora corals drive fish corallivory on tropical reefs

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding spatial patterns and drivers of corallivory is essential for assessing reef resilience and identifying recovery pathways. Fish corallivory patterns arise from the complex direct and indirect effects of key factors, including food availability (cover of preferred corals), the nature of the corallivore assemblage (richness and ...

Production of Shelf‐Stable Fermented Maize Starch Flour for Akpan: Effects of Fermentation and Drying Conditions on Flour Characteristics and Final Product Quality

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Optimization of fermented maize starch production through controlled fermentation and drying (60–72 h fermentation; ~55°C drying) yields a stable flour capable of producing akpan with quality attributes comparable to commercial products. ABSTRACT Akpan is a Beninese yogurt‐like product whose quality and usability depend on fermented maize starch (FMS),
