Portfolio Effects and Synchrony in Coral Communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Reef‐building corals are well‐known for their taxonomic diversity and capacity for population variability. In investigating patterns of variability across coral taxa through a 9‐year annual time‐series, we found that a period of relative stability across the community was maintained through asynchronous fluctuations among constituent populations ...

Floodplain reforestation reduces nitrate loss through soil microbial pathways

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Reforesting floodplains with native Melaleuca substantially reduced nitrate leaching relative to sugarcane, driven by higher soil organic carbon supporting decomposer‐dominated microbial communities that immobilise nitrogen rather than converting it to leachable nitrate.

Influence of coral symbionts on feeding preferences of crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci in the western Pacific [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci (L.) is well adapted to feed on a wide range of different corals, but often exhibits striking preference for a small suite of available prey species.

Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Larvae Can Feed on Organic Matter Released from Corals

open access: yesDiversity, 2016
Previous studies have suggested that Crown-of-Thorns starfish (COTS) larvae may be able to survive in the absence of abundant phytoplankton resources suggesting that they may be able to utilize alternative food sources.

Limited source–sink connections shape south‐western Pacific coral reef resilience under current and future warming

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our results demonstrate the importance of integrating connectivity into conservation planning by highlighting that the current marine protected area networks across the southwestern Pacific should be managed as an interconnected network rather than as isolated reserves.

Data‐driven discovery of mechanistic ecosystem models with LLMs

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1303-1321, April 2026.
Abstract Ecosystem models are essential for ecosystem management, but their development traditionally requires significant time and expertise, creating bottlenecks in addressing urgent environmental challenges. We present LEMMA (LLM Enabled Mechanistic Modelling for ecosystem Assessment), a framework that programmatically generates and iteratively ...

Violapyrones H and I, New Cytotoxic Compounds Isolated from Streptomyces sp. Associated with the Marine Starfish Acanthaster planci

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2014
Two new α-pyrone derivatives, violapyrones H (1) and I (2), along with known violapyrones B (3) and C (4) were isolated from the fermentation broth of a marine actinomycete Streptomyces sp.

Potential Impacts of Climate Interventions on Marine Ecosystems

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Rising global temperatures pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries. Recent comprehensive assessments suggest that large‐scale mitigation efforts to limit warming are falling short, and all feasible future climate projections, including those that represent optimistic emissions reductions, exceed the Paris ...

Developing coral seeding devices and rapid deployment methods to scale up reef restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
Current coral restoration methods are constrained by several factors, including low survival rates and high costs of coral production and deployment, making it difficult to address ecosystem‐wide coral declines. This study introduces a new two‐part coral seeding concept to efficiently settle, transport, and deploy coral spat.
