Ecological acclimation: A framework to integrate fast and slow responses to climate change

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological responses to climate change occur across vastly different time‐scales, from minutes for physiological plasticity to decades or centuries for community turnover and evolutionary adaptation. Accurately predicting the range of ecosystem trajectories will require

Visual information in the dark: Bioluminescence and perceptual design through evolution

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bioluminescence offers a powerful framework for understanding how organisms evolve to shape visual information in diverse ways. Complementing studies of colour, transparency and pattern in illuminated environments, bioluminescent systems instead rely on generated light,

A Review of the Ecology and Economics of Montserrat's Marine Resources [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Montserrat is a small, volcanic island in the Caribbean Sea that has undergone significant economic and ecological change over the past three decades due to disruption caused by a hurricane and prolonged volcanic activity.

Food web trophic control modulates tropical Atlantic reef ecosystems response to marine heat wave intensity and duration

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In this study we showed that trophic control modulates the effects of marine heatwaves (MHWs) on species biomass dynamics in a tropical and pristine Atlantic reef ecosystem. Our study provides insights into how the strength of predator–prey interactions may generate different outcomes in face of intensified and prolonged MHWs. Abstract Marine heatwaves

Marine Anoxia and Ocean Acidification During the End‐Permian Extinction

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 325-340., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

When resilience is not enough: 2022 extreme marine heatwave threatens climatic refugia for a habitat‐forming Mediterranean octocoral

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We are convinced that this paper can contribute to a better comprehension of the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems. We describe how Marine Heat Waves, which have been increasing in frequency, extent and intensity during the last decades, can negatively affect habitat‐forming species over time. Abstract Climate change is impacting ecosystems

Tropical fishes can benefit more from novel than familiar species interactions at their cold‐range edges

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We reveal that shoaling with temperate fish enhances foraging efficiency in range‐extending tropical fish species, suggesting novel species interactions can aid poleward expansions in marine ecosystems. Our work highlights behavioural plasticity as a mechanism that can facilitate tropical fishes to adapt to novel temperate ecosystems under climate ...

People and Oceans: Managing Marine Areas for Human Well-Being [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This booklet demonstrates an awakening within the conservation community that the human relationship with coastal and ocean environments must be evaluated in cultural, social, and economic -- as well as ecological -- dimensions.

Towards a historical ecology of intertidal foraging in the Mafia Archipelago: archaeomalacology and implications for marine resource management

open access: yes, 2019
Understanding the timing and nature of human influence on coastal and island ecosystems is becoming a central concern in archaeological research, particularly when investigated within a historical ecology framework.

The rainbow connection: The case for including substrate colour in the ‘eco‐engineering’ of marine constructions

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our results show that in the low intertidal, colour can shape sessile community assembly on concrete surfaces over time scales of at least 12 months. Consequently, alongside the habitat complexity and material type of marine built structures, colour warrants consideration in the development of eco‐friendly designs. The colour of marine built structures
