ABSTRACT The invasive brown alga Rugulopteryx okamurae, native to the northwestern Pacific, has rapidly expanded along the European Atlantic coast, reaching the Basque Coast in 2023, and was likely already present in 2022. Using annual data from a monitoring survey conducted between 2010 and 2025, this study assesses the spatio‐temporal variability of ...

Effects of Simulated Herbivory on the Thermal Resilience of Two Temperate Seagrass Species
This study investigates how reduced leaf size via simulated herbivory influences the thermal performance of temperate seagrasses. Simulated herbivory enhanced physiological performance and resilience under elevated temperatures in Posidonia australis, but not in Heterozostera tasmanica.

The Pacific spiny dogfish (Squalus suckleyi) is a North Pacific shark of conservation consern that until now lacked a complete mitochondrial genome. We report its first mitogenome (16,738 bp; 37 genes), assembled from PacBio HiFi reads and recover it as sister to S.

Abalone Mortality Associated With Hypoxia in Tidepools During a Summer Heatwave
Abalone (Haliotis roei) inhabit tidepools on intertidal platforms. During heatwaves and periods of low tide, water exchange in tidepools ceases. While temperatures in tidepools remain constant, oxygen levels are significantly reduced. Abalone mortality in tidepools is associated with oxygen depletion rather than thermal stress.
