Diel and Seasonal Variability in Kelp Forest Soundscapes Off the Southern California Coast
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Soundscape ecology is a relatively new field that can provide insights into the structure and health of marine habitats. Though this field is growing, the acoustics of many marine habitats, including the giant kelp forests off Southern California, remain

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.The increasing awareness of the extent of urchin barrens and impacts of sea urchin overgrazing on rocky reefs in Aotearoa New Zealand has led to a rapid increase in the use of sea urchin removal as a tool for kelp forest restoration. Here, we review these restoration projects, focusing on three case studies, with the aim to provide context on what ...

The ecology of giant kelp colonization and its implications for kelp forest restoration
Journal of PhycologyAbstractThe success and cost‐effectiveness of kelp forest restoration hinges on understanding the colonization ecology of kelps, particularly with respect to dispersal potential, recruitment success, and subsequent establishment. To gain needed insight into these processes we examined spatial patterns and temporal trajectories of the colonization of a ...

What is ‘relational thinking’, and how does it manifest in research?
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 2941-2951, September 2026.Abstract People and Nature is a ‘journal of relational thinking’. This editorial explores what relational thinking can mean and how it might be operationalized in the context of humans and the environment. Relational thinking may seem intuitive because it recognizes the world's inherent interconnectedness. However, the question of how to operationalize

Searching for the giants of the kelp forest in Mexican waters: the Giant Sea Bass
, 2017 Like lions in African savannas, black bears in the boreal forests of North America and sea stars in the rocky intertidal of Baja California, the giant sea bass is a top predator in the kelp forests of Baja California and California. Top predators are those species found at higher levels of the food web, and because of that, they generally do not have ...

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.Understanding how early microbiomes assemble is central to explaining the ecology and evolution of host–microbe interactions. Comparing three macroalgal species, we show that hosts differ markedly in how they retain parental bacteria and filter environmental taxa during their early development.

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.Commercially exploited seaweed species in Africa, their biochemical composition, current uses, and value chain are reviewed. Potential value‐addition of seaweed is suggested regionally in Africa amongst countries producing similar seaweed species. ABSTRACT Africa has a wide range of coastal environments that support a diverse array of seaweed species ...

Seawater carbonate chemistry and reproductive success of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera)
, 2020 Understanding how climate change may influence ecosystems depends substantially on its effects on foundation species, such as the ecologically important giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera).

Extreme marine heatwaves drive divergent kelp forest trajectories and alternative stable states
Frontiers in Marine ScienceKelp forests are experiencing extreme declines globally, yet local social-ecological factors may mediate their responses to climate perturbations. Using a combination of long-term field surveys (2016–2023) and satellite data (2004–2023), we examined the ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 While the value of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) as a habitat-forming foundation species is well-understood, it is unclear how they impact the oxygen concentration and pH of the surrounding seawater, and further, how such a dynamic abiotic ...
