Portfolio Effects and Synchrony in Coral Communities
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
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]
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
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.

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
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 ...

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
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
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.
