Enhanced Weathering and Erosion of a Cohesive Shore Platform Following the Experimental Removal of Mussels

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The organisms inhabiting intertidal platforms can affect their weathering and erosion rates. Research on biotic influences on platform integrity has traditionally emphasized the role of bioeroders (i.e., organisms that scrap or bore into platforms via ...

Unraveling the Interplay Between Collaborative Governance and Experimentation for Transformative Potential in Circular Water Systems: A Dutch Case Study

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater availability is a critical climate change challenge in coastal delta regions. This challenge requires a transformative change toward circular water management. While experimentation and collaborative governance are recognized as enablers of transformative change, their interaction remains complex and insufficiently understood ...

Stable isotopes reveal minimal spatial and temporal variation in diet of the wrymouth (Cryptacanthodes maculatus)

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Predation by infaunal and epibenthic predators is often an important determinant of marine soft‐bottom community structure. The role of the predatory, benthic‐dwelling fish, the wrymouth (Cryptacanthodes maculatus), in the soft‐bottom food web has ...

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Benthic–pelagic coupling and bottom‐up forcing in rocky intertidal communities along the Atlantic Canadian coast

open access: yesEcosphere, 2018
Benthic species from rocky intertidal systems are irregularly distributed along marine coastlines. Nearshore pelagic conditions often help to explain such variation, but most such studies have been done on eastern ocean boundary coasts.

Denitrifying Anaerobic Methane Oxidation: A Previously Overlooked Methane Sink in Intertidal Zone.

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Technology, 2018
The intertidal zone is an open ecosystem rich in organic matter and plays an important role in global biogeochemical cycles. It was previously considered that methane was mainly removed by sulfate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (sulfate-AOM ...

Little penguins select more isolated nest boxes for breeding, but lay date influences breeding success

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

Recolonization of Intertidal Mussels in Nova Scotia (Canada) after Their Mass Disappearance Following the Severe 2023 Winter Cold Snap

open access: yesDiversity
In February 2023, a severe cold snap took place in Atlantic Canada and was followed by the mass loss of mussels at mid-to-high intertidal elevations on the southeastern Nova Scotia coast.

Top‐down pressure on a coastal ecosystem by harbor seals

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
Historic hunting has led to severe reductions of many marine mammal species across the globe. After hunting ceased, some populations have recovered to pre‐exploitation levels and may have regained their prominent position as top predator in marine ...
