This study applies eDNA metabarcoding on conserved and hypervariable mitochondrial markers to assess species diversity in Caribbean marine fishes and population haplotype diversity in grunts. By standardizing biodiversity monitoring across scales, eDNA provides a unified understanding of the processes generating diversity patterns from populations to ...

The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.

Abstract Infragravity (IG) waves play a crucial role in nearshore hydrodynamics and sediment transport; however, their generation and dissipation mechanisms during extreme storms remain challenging to assess due to limited data availability, site‐specific characteristics of natural landscapes, and anthropogenic effects.

Great Meteor Seamount Circulation Revisited: Insights Into Cold‐Water Coral Habitat Potential
Abstract Seamounts play a crucial role in shaping deep‐sea ecosystem structure, influencing ocean circulation, enhancing biological productivity, and supporting diverse marine life. The Great Meteor Seamount (GMS), is the largest seamount in the North Atlantic and a key ecological feature in the regional network of the Protected Areas of the Azores ...

Estimating ecological thresholds for good status using natural variation in reference conditions
The framework outlined here presents a transparent, robust, scalable and pressure‐independent approach to estimate the probability of an ecosystem component being in good status for a range of marine systems. This straightforward and easily understood approach can be used to estimate thresholds for good status where they are missing for ecological ...
