Methods to estimate marine functional connectivity: A primer
Abstract Organism movement is a key process in the transfer of individuals, genes, functional traits, matter, and energy among habitat patches, at sea and across the land–sea interface. The resulting fluxes, collectively termed marine functional connectivity (MFC), underpin planetary health and an array of ecosystem services.

Creek‐imposed gradients reshape plant allometric traits and sediment retention in a salt marsh
Abstract Tidal creeks impose strong hydrological and geomorphic gradients that shape plant traits and sediment dynamics in salt marshes. However, how creek‐imposed gradients reorganize plant allometric strategies and how these trait shifts regulate sediment retention remain poorly quantified.

Intertidal wetland geomorphology influences main channel hydrodynamics in a mature barrier estuary
Previous research utilising water level observations and hypsometric data has suggested that intertidal areas exert some control on main channel flow dynamics in estuaries, lagoons and tidal creeks. This has been demonstrated in more detail for saltmarsh

Conceptual framework showing how tectonic confinement, steep monsoon‐driven river dynamics, high‐energy coastal processes and offshore sediment dispersal together limit sediment retention at the Narmada–Tapi river mouths, suppressing sustained subaerial delta formation despite high sediment supply. Abstract Although deltaic growth is commonly linked to

Rhythmites preservation in macrotidal estuarine environments : from upstream to downstream estuary
Estuaries are interface environments between continental and marine domains. The estuarine system classifications allow estuarine zonation based on the longitudinal distribution of hydrodynamic forcing relative energies (flow, tide and swell) which ...

Abstract During foraging activity, baleen whales are generally dependent on the occurrence of dense prey patches. These are largely influenced by the interaction between ocean currents and the vertical distribution of individual prey. Identifying the spatio‐temporal dynamics of the areas where prey form dense aggregations, at submeso scale (~ 10 km ...

Hydrological seasonality shapes microbial biomass and diversity in an equatorial estuarine mangrove
Abstract Mangroves are pantropical marine forests rooted in soft sediments and subject to pronounced seasonal variability. However, the effects of these hydrological fluctuations on root‐associated prokaryotic communities remain poorly understood, particularly in underexplored regions like the Guianas.

Abstract Coastal vegetation often grows in spatially distributed patches. However, the influence of individual vegetation patches on small‐scale hydrodynamics has not been well characterized under natural conditions with tidally varying water depths.

An annular laboratory flume was used to investigate the effect of mobile cockle shells on the erosion of a cohesive sediment bed. A standard clay bed was created and shells of differing sizes placed upon it.
