Methods to estimate marine functional connectivity: A primer

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.
Abstract Organism movement is a key process in the transfer of individuals, genes, functional traits, matter, and energy among habitat patches, at sea and across the land–sea interface. The resulting fluxes, collectively termed marine functional connectivity (MFC), underpin planetary health and an array of ecosystem services.

A Method for Calculating the Area of Zostera marina Leaves from Digital Images with Noise Induced by Humidity Content

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Despite the ecological importance of eelgrass, nowadays anthropogenic influences have produced deleterious effects in many meadows worldwide. Transplantation plots are commonly used as a feasible remediation scheme.

Microbial communities on eelgrass (Zostera marina) thriving in Tokyo Bay and the possible source of leaf-attached microbes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Zostera marina (eelgrass) is classified as one of the marine angiosperms and is widely distributed throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere. The present study investigated the microbial community structure and diversity of Z.

Particle-attached Microbes in Eelgrass Vegetation Areas Differ in Community Structure Depending on the Distance from the Eelgrass Bed

Microbes and Environments, 2023
Zostera marina (eelgrass) is a submerged flowering plant often found in the coastal areas of Japan. Large amounts of suspended particles form in highly productive environments, such as eelgrass beds, and the behavior of these particles is expected to affect the surrounding microbial community.

The Mussels That Came in From the Cold: Long‐Term Effects of the Population Collapse in the 1960s May Explain Low Abundances of Boreal Mussels in the Subarctic Despite the Warming

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Arctic warming is predicted to have a positive effect on boreal species. To test this hypothesis, we gathered and analyzed two datasets on blue mussels Mytilus from the Murman Coast of the Barents Sea. The first dataset contained data on the age structure of a mussel population monitored from 2001 to 2020, while the second dataset contained data on ...

A blessing or a curse: Responses of eelgrass (Zostera marina) seedlings to combined stressors of nutrients, hypoxia and sulfide

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Eelgass (Zostera marina) beds have many functions; however, eelgrass populations have declined in recent decades. Thus, it is important to recover eelgrass populations.

Fishes in Eelgrass Meadows Show Large Interspecific Differences in Thermal Acclimation to Marine Heatwaves

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Marine heatwaves increasingly expose shallow eelgrass habitats to thermal extremes. We experimentally exposed 12 fish species collected from eelgrass meadows to a simulated heatwave and quantified thermal tolerance and short‐term acclimation capacity.

Artificial oyster reefs can facilitate the recovery of lost ecosystem function in fragmented seagrass habitat

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seagrasses suffer population decline when environmental stress exceeds physiological tolerance. In such instances, seagrass restoration can be successful if stressors are alleviated; however, many stressors cannot be addressed at a local scale. As such, seagrass restoration efforts often fail. In this study, we tested whether artificial oyster

Seawater carbonate chemistry and the health and growth of eelgrass and the mass of oysters

, 2018
Climate change is affecting the health and physiology of marine organisms and altering species interactions. Ocean acidification (OA) threatens calcifying organisms such as the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas.
