Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As anthropogenic pressures increasingly impact marine ecosystems and the biodiversity they support, governance mechanisms for international biodiversity conservation have emerged. Seaweed habitats are important repositories for marine biodiversity, and they provide crucial ecosystem services that support both ocean and human health.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Marine foundation species underpin some of the world's most diverse ecosystems but they are increasingly threatened by intensification of marine heatwaves (MHWs). Where MHWs exceed critical thermal maxima (CTmax), increased mortality and population declines can occur ...

Coral reef fish visual adaptations to a changing world
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coral reef ecosystems show fluctuations in their prevailing light environment in response to both regular (e.g. between seasons) and more prevalent stochastic events (e.g. human‐induced sediment runoff).

Alteration of cleaner wrasse cognition and brain morphology under marine heatwaves
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Heatwaves, exacerbated by global warming, are progressively affecting various ecosystems, with coral reefs among the most susceptible. Within these ecosystems, cleaner wrasses (Labroides dimidiatus) engage in cooperative interactions with client fish by removing ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract In the evolution of vision, changes in the number of visual opsin genes, gene conversion, amino acid sequence mutations, and gene expression levels are common molecular mechanisms in how teleost fishes adapt to different aquatic (light) environments.
