Blue‐Prints for Ocean Governance: Analyzing Resource Sustainability in International Blue Economic Frameworks

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Championed as a pathway for sustainable growth, the “blue economy” (BE) has garnered increasing interest in recent decades. International organizations like the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) increasingly point to marine resources and activities as a “new frontier” for economic growth ...

Biogeographic analysis of the Tortugas Ecological Reserve: Examining the refuge effect following reserve establishment [PDF]

, 2004
Almost 120 days at sea aboard three NOAA research vessels and one fishing vessel over the past three years have supported biogeographic characterization of Tortugas Ecological Reserve (TER).

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

Half a century of echinoid population decline in the northern Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Multi‐decadal monitoring in the Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea, reveals severe (>90%) declines of key echinoid grazers. These declines signify a collapse of crucial herbivory functions underpinning coral reef resilience. Results implicate accelerating anthropogenic stress as a principal driver, emphasizing the urgent need for sustained, species ...

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence

Biodiversity research requires more motors in air, water and on land

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Human activities have accelerated species extinctions, driving rapid biodiversity decline. Simultaneously, advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems offer transformative potential for biodiversity research. Uncrewed vehicles—drones (aerial systems) and other robots (ground and underwater platforms)—equipped with high ...
