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
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

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