Embedding a multichannel ion‐sensitive field‐effect transistor‐pH sensor array in marine sediments: a new approach for continuous in situ pH monitoring

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Human activities have significantly increased carbon dioxide emissions, leading to global warming and ocean acidification, which threaten marine ecosystems, including coral reefs with high biodiversity. Coral reef maintenance relies on a balance between calcium carbonate formation and dissolution. Among the processes, sandy sediments, covering

Refuge trifecta: intertidal gastropods use pits to escape heat, wave action and predation

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Refuges play a critical role in ecology and evolution. In hard intertidal shores, small pits attract benthic invertebrates such as gastropods, however, there exists little mechanistic understanding of the processes driving the active usage of these microhabitat features. We conducted a series of laboratory experiments to assess whether the marine snail

Bifunctional MOF‐on‐MOF‐Derived CuCo2O4 for Oxygen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalysis and Supercapacitor Electrodes

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
A bifunctional copper cobalt oxide derived from metal‐organic frameworks was synthesized with a spinel structure and coral reef‐like morphology. It showed excellent activity for the oxygen evolution reaction, with overpotential of 317 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and Tafel slope of 49 mV dec−1.

Baseline coral disease surveys within three marine parks in Sabah, Borneo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Two of the most significant threats to coral reefs worldwide are bleaching and disease. However, there has been a scarcity of research on coral disease in South-East Asia, despite the high biodiversity and the strong dependence of local communities on ...

Co‐creating solutions to the hidden impacts of climate change on Canada's Pacific kelp forests

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Co‐designed research driven by the information needs of coastal communities can enhance social‐ecological resilience to climate change. On the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada, the 2014–2015 marine heatwave triggered an outbreak of an encrusting bryozoan (Membranipora spp.) on giant kelp (Macrocystis tenuifolia), an ecologically ...

Environmental drivers of distribution and reef development of the Mediterranean coral Cladocora caespitosa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Cladocora caespitosa is the only Mediterranean scleractinian similar to tropical reef-building corals. While this species is part of the recent fossil history of the Mediterranean Sea, it is currently considered endangered due to its decline during the ...
