Tidal phasing drives intertidal heat stress and climate vulnerability
Abstract Intertidal organisms are exposed to extreme and variable thermal conditions due to periodic aerial exposure by tides. For sessile species that cannot seek refuge, heat stress is strongly influenced by the timing of low tides, which in semidiurnal tidal systems is governed by the spring–neap tidal cycle.

Predation of juvenile tiger prawns in a tropical Australian estuary
We investigated predation of juvenile penaeids, in particular the grooved tiger prawn Penaeus semisulcatus and the brown tiger prawn P. esculentus, by sampling prawns and their potential fish predators on 2 intertidal seagrass beds in the Embley River ...

Environmental influence on intraspecific trait variation in the tropical seagrass Halodule uninervis
Intraspecific trait variation (ITV) enhances the precision of applying functional trait approaches in plant ecology. Despite its benefits, ITV is rarely considered in functional trait‐based seagrass research. The goal of our research is to measure ITV in the tropical seagrass species Halodule uninervis and assess the environmental factors associated ...

The effects of single versus successive warm summers on an intertidal community
To accurately predict how organisms and ecological communities will respond to future conditions caused by climate change, we must consider the temporal dynamics of environmental stressors, including the effects of repeated exposures to stress. We performed a two‐year passive thermal manipulation in coastal British Columbia, Canada to determine how ...

Significant Coastal Dune Loss Challenges California's Climate Resilience and Biodiversity Goals
Abstract Coastal sand dunes support unique biodiversity and buffer beaches and communities against storm impacts. However, these sensitive and dynamic ecosystems are increasingly threatened by erosion, sea‐level rise (SLR), and encroaching coastal development.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mangrove forests are important blue carbon ecosystems, yet long‐term above‐ground biomass (AGB) dynamics in arid deltaic systems remain poorly understood. Here, we integrated field‐derived AGB data with multisource remote sensing and machine learning models (random ...

A novel mat‐forming benthic freshwater cyanobacterium, Limnofasciculus delicatus, is described based on morphological, phylogenetic and genomic evidence from the North and South Forks of the Shenandoah River. Although Limnofasciculus delicatus lacks biosynthetic gene clusters associated with the production of known cyanotoxins, it occurs in association

A Chronicle of Disrupted Flows—Bordering of the Amphibious Bengal Delta
Short Abstract The Sundarbans is often framed as a climate crisis hotspot, a perspective that risks naturalising a historically produced condition. This paper argues that present vulnerabilities are rooted in colonial interventions that disrupted a dynamic, amphibious landscape shaped by seasonal floods, tides and human–nonhuman interdependencies ...

Shows the spatiotemporal predictability of wintering eiders based on monitoring data from 1993–2023 with intertidal and subtidal Marine Protected Areas (yellow and green, respectively), and a depiction of the current mismatch between eider hotspots and protection measures. Abstract Migratory animals often follow predictable spatiotemporal distributions
