PISCO: Intertidal: Mussel Fecundity Monitoring: UCSC: 2005
This metadata record documents the mussel fecundity data for the PISCO intertidal. The fecundity of mussels is being compared between core PISCO sites.

Comparative morphological analyses of shorebird feeding apparatus revealed substantial variation in bill‐tip organs and micro tongue tip spines across taxa. Key findings included variation in sensory pit numbers within the bill‐tip organs characteristic of Scolopacidae, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealing micro tongue tip spines in several

Widespread spring discharge drives major water–salt–heat fluxes in salt marshes
Abstract The occurrence, spatial distribution, and flux significance of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) through preferential pathways in low‐permeability salt marshes remain poorly understood. Using thermal infrared imaging and in situ measurements, we mapped 983 saline springs in winter and 413 in summer across six tidal creeks on the muddy ...

Bed‐level tools for monitoring erosion and accretion patterns: Flume validation and field testing
Abstract Monitoring short‐term changes in surface sediment elevation is fundamental to understanding erosion, transport, and deposition dynamics in shallow coastal environments. However, commonly used field approaches, such as horizontal markers, sediment erosion tables, subsurface sediment plates, or erosion pins, are not always cross‐validated under ...

Seagrass species diversity in Tanzania based on morphological and molecular data
Seagrass diversity along the Tanzanian coast has been documented mainly through morphology, with limited molecular reference data available for Tanzania and the wider Western Indian Ocean. This study combined morphological identification with nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase

Biotic interactions are fundamental to the structuring of marine communities. Predator–prey and competitive interactions can drive species distribution, abundance and mediate individual behaviour. These interactions are especially important to understand in the context of restoration.

Thermal Preference and Performance in the Marine Amphipod Melita inaequistylis
Climate‐induced warming can impose thermal stress on organisms, impacting their physiology in addition to ecosystem structure and functioning. In most species the response to warming is poorly understood; the majority of thermal physiology research focuses on single performance measures and fails to predict overall functioning with respect to future ...

The structurally controlled Otūwhero estuary on the SE boundary of Abel Tasman National Park is a small partially filled incised valley. The small size, limited number of fluvial inputs, accessibility and surrounding land use made it an ideal candidate on which to investigate potential climate‐induced estuarine behaviour. Surficial sediment samples and

Effects of acclimation temperature with acute temperature, reduced salinity or lowered dissolved oxygen are significant stressors to physiological and biological responses of adult Pāua. Pāua have a limited ability to acclimate to temperatures above 18 °C.

Migratory shorebirds traveling the East Asian–Australasian Flyway face systemic policy fragmentation and habitat disconnection between China (coordination challenges and renewable energy conflicts) and Australia (federal governance fragmentation). This study proposes a transboundary conservation framework to fill this gap.
