Observations of Modified Polyps and Polyp Leaves in Sea Pens (Cnidaria: Octocorallia): The Cases of Ptilella and Pennatula

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We describe unusual and mostly unreported morphological traits on colonies of the deep‐water sea pens Ptilella and Pennatula from the Northwest Atlantic, namely the presence of hypertrophied polyps, split polyp leaves, and autozooids budding on the surface of polyp leaves (as opposed to the edges). ABSTRACT Here we describe unusual morphological traits

Temporal shifts in kelp forest structure and distribution largely reflect recent ocean warming trends

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Ocean warming is driving the redistribution of species at a global scale. Biogeographic transition zones are hotspots of species range shifts, as both warm‐ and cold‐adapted species are found toward contrasting range edges. While anecdotal evidence suggests some distributional shifts have occurred in the northeast Atlantic, the empirical evidence base ...

Relationships between benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages and habitat types in nearshore marine and estuarine waters along the lower west coast of Australia

open access: yes, 2007
The following four broad aims were addressed in this study. (1) To ascertain whether the characteristics of the benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages within the different nearshore marine habitat types identified by Valesini et al.

Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Along the west coast of Australia, intertidal rock platforms support high invertebrate diversities that provide vital ecosystem services, yet patterns in diversity are not well understood. Here, we document and examine the invertebrate assemblages on intertidal rock platforms in Western Australia and delineate ecoregions according to assemblage ...

Intertidal and basin-wide habitat use of fishes in the Scheldt estuary = Getij- en bekkengebonden habitatgebruik door vissen in het Schelde-estuarium

open access: yes, 2006
Animals are influenced by both biotic and abiotic factors when selecting a habitat. The final decision of an organism to select a habitat generally depends on the fitness increase that can be expected.

Nutritional, phytochemical, and potential health benefits of Monostroma spp.: A systematic review

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 252-272, June 2026.
Abstract Monostroma spp., belonging to the green seaweed, has been known to be health‐promoting food items as prophylactic agents worldwide. It has shown wide arrays of bioactivities for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. A total of 47 articles were selected to review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and ...

Flood facilitates cross‐ecosystem trophic subsidies to marine animals

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Trophic subsidies are resources that cross ecosystem boundaries, influencing the structure and function of recipient food webs. Widespread regulation of rivers for human consumptive use has profoundly altered natural flow regimes, decoupling donor‐recipient dynamics between freshwater and marine ecosystems. We explored trophic subsidies to the

Relationships between faunal assemblages and habitat types in Broke Inlet, Western Australia

open access: yes, 2010
The work for this thesis was undertaken in Broke Inlet, a seasonally-open estuary on the south coast of Western Australia and the only estuary in that region which is regarded as “near-pristine” (Commonwealth of Australia, 2002).
