An ecological framework for microbial metabolites in the ocean ecosystem

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract The ocean microbe‐metabolite network involves thousands of individual metabolites that encompass a breadth of chemical diversity and biological functions. These microbial metabolites mediate biogeochemical cycles, facilitate ecological relationships, and impact ecosystem health. While analytical advancements have begun to illuminate such roles,

Assessing the consistency and reliability of the line intercept transect method in coral cover estimation using structure from motion photogrammetry techniques

open access: yesGeocarto International
Appropriate coral reef monitoring methods and descriptors determine the effectiveness of ecosystem status assessment. We combined line intercept transect (LIT) and SfM technologies for image acquisition, and the POS information of images is defined and ...

Embedding a multichannel ion‐sensitive field‐effect transistor‐pH sensor array in marine sediments: a new approach for continuous in situ pH monitoring

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Human activities have significantly increased carbon dioxide emissions, leading to global warming and ocean acidification, which threaten marine ecosystems, including coral reefs with high biodiversity. Coral reef maintenance relies on a balance between calcium carbonate formation and dissolution. Among the processes, sandy sediments, covering

Coral mucus fuels the sponge loop in warm- and cold-water coral reef ecosystems

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
Shallow warm-water and deep-sea cold-water corals engineer the coral reef framework and fertilize reef communities by releasing coral mucus, a source of reef dissolved organic matter (DOM).

Levels and drivers of fishers' compliance with marine protected areas

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2015
Effective conservation depends largely on people's compliance with regulations. We investigate compliance through the lens of fishers' compliance with marine protected areas (MPAs).
