Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Major threats to marine species and ecosystems include overfishing, invasive species, pollution and climate change. The changing climate not only imposes direct threats through the impacts of severe marine heatwaves, cyclones and ocean acidification but also complicates fisheries and invasive species management by driving species range shifts.

Thermal and Acidification Gradients Reveal Tolerance Thresholds in Pocillopora acuta Recruits
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ocean warming and acidification are among the biggest threats to the persistence of coral reefs. Organismal stress tolerance thresholds are life stage specific, can vary across levels of biological organisation and also depend on natural environmental variability.

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Habitat fragmentation and loss are key threats to biodiversity, yet their impacts on marine species remain poorly understood. Clownfishes, which rely on sea anemones for shelter and reproduction, provide an interesting model to explore how ecological specialisation mediates species responses to habitat perturbations.

Marine Mammal Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We applied stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes to investigate the trophic ecology of four large pelagic predators from the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago (FNA), northeastern Brazil: spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri), and great barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda).

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Plant microbiomes have the potential to mitigate the impacts of climate change, yet both the complexity of climate change and the complexity of plant–microbe interactions make applications and future predictions challenging. Here, we embrace this complexity, reviewing how different aspects of climate change influence beneficial plant–microbe ...

Expert opinions regarding the concept of blue carbon in seaweed systems
Phycological Research, EarlyView.SUMMARY A collection of expert opinions critically evaluates the role of seaweed in blue carbon strategies for climate change mitigation. While the concept of fast‐growing seaweed to capture atmospheric carbon is appealing, the experts largely agree that its potential for direct, long‐term carbon sequestration is currently overstated and faces ...

Influence of attachment techniques on coral seeding unit deployment cost and performance
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Attachment of coral propagules to the reef surface is a bottleneck in the efficiency and efficacy of coral restoration techniques, with hypothesized tradeoffs between the relative investment in attachment (labor and materials costs) and propagule yield. Here we quantified the investment required and retention over 1 year for 11 coral seeding attachment

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Although tools for actively restoring marine habitats have advanced considerably, the capacity and timeframes for ecosystem recovery remain uncertain. Time and funding constraints, and lacking metrics to quantify the recovery process, represent the primary obstacles to evaluating restoration success.
