Resource partitioning among algal turf‐feeding fishes on a tropical artificial shoreline

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapid coastal development has led to the proliferation of artificial structures along urban shorelines. Numerous studies have shown that patterns of fish diversity associated with these novel habitats are driven by physical habitat complexity; however, trophic‐mediated processes in shaping these patterns remain poorly understood.

In situ observations of fish associated with coral reefs off Ireland [PDF]

, 2011
The abundance and behaviour of fish on and around coral reefs at Twin Mounds and Giant Mounds, carbonate mounds located on the continental shelf off Ireland (600-1100. m), were studied using two Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) dives.

Integrative phylogenomics and morphology reveal the evolution and biogeography of Encephalartos (Zamiaceae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We aimed to conduct phylogenetic analyses of Encephalartos, a cycad genus endemic to Africa, using 3545 single‐copy nuclear genes extracted from transcriptome data, covering 64/65 of the recognized species, along with inference of divergence times using two secondary calibration points.

An Experimental Study on the Seismic Response of Vertical and Batter Pile Foundations at Coral Sand Sites

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Liquefaction and earthquake damage to coral sand sites can cause engineering structure failure. Both testing and analyzing the seismic response characteristics of pile groups on coral sand sites are highly important for the seismic design of engineering ...

Seagrasses are most vulnerable to marine heatwaves in tropical zones: local‐scale and broad climatic zone variation in thermal tolerances

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Under a changing climate, it is imperative that we understand how species may respond to temperature impacts, which can differ among populations of the same species due to local drivers. Thermal tolerance data, which can be used to assess an organism's upper thermal limits, is valuable to identify species and/or populations' susceptibility to ...

Study on the Dilatancy Behavior of Coral Sand and Its Influence on Shear Strength Parameters

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Coral sand is characterized by unique particle morphology and pore structure, which result in pronounced dilatancy and a high internal friction angle during shear. The dilatancy angle is a critical parameter for finite element analyses of sand foundation

Non‐Additive Interactions Between Multiple Mutualists and Host Plant Genotype Simultaneously Promote Increased Plant Growth and Pathogen Defence

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of microbial interactions on plants is critical for maintaining healthy native ecosystems and sustainable agricultural practices. Despite the reality that genetically distinct plants host multiple microbes of large effect in the field, it remains unclear the extent to which host genotypes modulate non‐additive ...
