Seascape Connectivity Shapes Genetic and Species β‐Diversity in Tropical Reef Fishes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our study combines species occurrence data from five reef fish families with genomic SNP data for 19 species. A correlation between genetic and species β‐diversity emerges only in the Western Indian Ocean, where higher genetic β‐diversity and significant isolation by distance at both the population and community levels are detected.

Succession in a Tropical Dry Forest: A Test of the Chronosequence and Inference of Community Assembly Dynamics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This successional study in Florida Keys tropical dry forest (TDF) is the first to corroborate compositional and functional changes measured along a chronosequence with results of longitudinal measurements within sites. Additionally, this TDF ecosystem showed a rare successional pattern of convergence in species composition but divergence in functional ...

Species‐specific processing of fluorescent dissolved organic matter by Caribbean sponges

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Coral reefs are biodiverse and productive ecosystems that are found in typically oligotrophic environments. Many studies have attempted to explain this paradox by demonstrating that microbial symbionts expand metabolic capabilities of host animals.

Sex Determination in Sponges

open access: yesMolecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Sex determination in Porifera remains one of the least understood aspects of early metazoan biology despite the group's key phylogenetic position. Sponges display exceptional diversity in sexual systems—ranging from stable gonochorism to sequential hermaphroditism and sex reversal—yet lack morphological dimorphism and any discrete gonadal ...

Assessment of nutrient amendments on stony coral tissue loss disease in Southeast Florida

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Florida’s coral reefs are facing a multi-year outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) with dramatic consequences for coral communities. However, potential anthropogenic and environmental drivers of SCTLD progression and severity remain poorly

Blue Nitrogen Follows the Fate of Tidal Wetlands

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Tidal wetlands sequester carbon (C) at much higher rates per area than other ecosystems, helping to offset C emissions. The burial of organic C in tidal wetland soils, “blue C”, is tightly linked to the cycling of nitrogen (N), which is a key pollutant and limiting nutrient for many ecosystems.

Accretionary Prism and Forearc Deformation Driven by the Beata Ridge Indentation in Southern Hispaniola: Insights From the Offshore San Pedro Basin

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The Cretaceous–Eocene island arc of Hispaniola is currently shortened between the Bahamas carbonate platform to the north and the thickened crust of the Caribbean Large Igneous Province (CLIP) to the south. Within this transpressional setting, the 15–22‐km‐thick, ∼100‐km‐wide Beata Ridge (BR), the thickest portion of the CLIP, acts as a ...

Scenarios and strategies for future‐proofing ecosystem management under climatic novelty

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Climate change is driving unprecedented declines in dominant, habitat‐forming foundation species across marine and terrestrial ecosystems globally. As climatic novelty becomes the norm, ecosystem reassembly will become increasingly common. Predicting and understanding these transitions, and their implications for future ecosystem functioning ...

Genomic and secondary metabolites of the marine cyanobacterium Capilliphycus salinus ALCB114379

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 904-916, June 2026.
Abstract Assembling high‐quality genomes from underexplored environments can be helpful for understanding microbial diversity and identifying novel species. The Cyanobacterium type strain Capilliphycus salinus ALCB114379 is a representative of Oscillatoriales order isolated from a supralittoral zone of the south Atlantic Ocean in Brazil, an ecotone ...
