Juvenile and Adult Three‐Spined Sticklebacks Exhibit Different Habitat Use in Shallow Baltic Sea Bays

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Three‐spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) have become dominant in many Baltic Sea coastal fish assemblages, yet life‐stage‐specific habitat use remains poorly understood. We surveyed shallow water habitats along the coast of Gotland, Sweden, to examine how juvenile and adult stickleback abundances relate to variables such as submersed

Macroalgae and eelgrass mapping in Great Bay Estuary using AISA hyperspectral imagery [PDF]

, 2008
Increase in nitrogen concentration and declining eelgrass beds in Great Bay Estuary have been observed in the last decades. These two parameters are clear indicators of the impending problems for NH’s estuaries.

Spatial Patterns and Overlap of Sedimentary and Rhizosphere Microbiomes of the Seagrass Zostera capensis

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Sedimentary microbiomes and, for the first time, rhizosphere microbiomes of Zostera capensis, South Africa's most abundant seagrass, were characterised using 16S rRNA metabarcoding across three estuaries. After accounting for seawater‐derived microbes, we found that sediment and rhizosphere communities largely overlapped but also harbor distinct core ...

Spatial and Temporal Variation of C, N, and S Stable Isotopes and Seagrass Coverage Related to Eutrophication Stress in Zostera marina

Coasts
Zostera marina is an ecologically valuable species that has been declining due to anthropogenic environmental stressors. In this study, spatial and temporal indicators of eelgrass stress, such as coverage and biomass, were compared with the isotopic ...

Blue Carbon Storage in a Northern Temperate Estuary Subject to Habitat Loss and Chronic Habitat Disturbance: Cowichan Estuary, British Columbia, Canada

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Vegetated coastal ecosystems can contribute greatly to long-term carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emission mitigation, providing a strong argument for their protection and restoration.

The Status of Eelgrass, Zostera marina, as Bay Scallop Habitat: Consequences for the Fishery in the Western Atlantic [PDF]

, 2009
Zostera marina is a member of a widely distributed genus of seagrasses, all commonly called eelgrass. The reported distribution of eelgrass along the east coast of the United States is from Maine to North Carolina. Eelgrass inhabits a variety of coastal

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 519-538, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Comparison of drone and ground surveys for the detection of a rare plant in a fragile ecosystem

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
We compared the accuracy, time, and financial costs of drone and ground surveys for the detection of wood lilies (Lilium philadelphicum) in an endangered alvar ecosystem. We found that the drone surveys detected 73%–78% of the plants found in the ground surveys, but that this type of survey was more expensive and time consuming than the ground survey ...

Mapping with confidence; delineating seagrass habitats using Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS)

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2019
There is growing interest in the use of Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) for mapping and monitoring of seagrass habitats. UAS provide flexibility with timing of imagery capture, are relatively inexpensive, and obtain very high spatial resolution imagery ...
