Abstract Introduction Sponges historically dominated the heterotrophic biomass of Florida Bay's hard‐bottom habitat, providing crucial ecosystem services including shelter for soniferous shrimp that contribute to the marine soundscape. The loss of the sponge communities has inspired restoration efforts using in‐water nurseries for vegetative ...

ABSTRACT Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, causing profound and often irreversible ecological changes. Among these invaders, the brown alga Rugulopteryx okamurae provides a striking example. Since its arrival in 2016 in Calanques National Park (Marseille, southern France), it has drastically transformed underwater landscapes

Within quantum chemistry, density functional theory (DFT) is a revolution. This serves as an example of a multitude of other scientific events, supporting the idea that revolutions are always large, if observed with the appropriate magnification. ABSTRACT Distinguishing scientific revolutions from normal science is a subjective, conflicting matter ...

Marine invertebrates and fishes exhibit inconsistent body size responses to ocean acidification
Abstract Body size is a fundamental characteristic of all living organisms that determines physiological functions and life‐history traits. Ecological theory predicts that ocean acidification can cause body size reductions, confirmed by several studies reporting miniaturization in ectotherms.

Abstract During their voyage to the Americas (1799–1804), Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland described and collected American flora, fauna, minerals and other objects. After returning to Europe, they published several works, including Monographie des Melastomacées, initiated by Bonpland to classify this complex botanical family.
