Quantifying Drag on Floating Sargassum Patches Under Combined Air and Water Forcing
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Laboratory experiments were conducted in a unidirectional air‐water flume with glass sidewalls to quantify drag forces acting on pelagic Sargassum spp. patches exposed to steady airflow and water current. Both live and surrogate patches, designed to replicate the morphology and buoyancy of natural sargassum, were tested over Reynolds numbers ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract The concentration of chlorophyll‐α $\alpha $ has been estimated from sea color, primarily based on the reflectance ratio between the blue and green spectral bands in multiband images obtained by satellite optical sensors. However, this method is only effective in open, clear water and cannot be reliably applied to shallow coastal waters.

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 397-417, March 2026.Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

Half a century of echinoid population decline in the northern Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 443-454, March 2026.Multi‐decadal monitoring in the Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea, reveals severe (>90%) declines of key echinoid grazers. These declines signify a collapse of crucial herbivory functions underpinning coral reef resilience. Results implicate accelerating anthropogenic stress as a principal driver, emphasizing the urgent need for sustained, species ...

Microalgae Techno‐Functional Properties in Bread, Cookies, and Pasta Products: A Review
Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Microalgae are gaining increasing attention in the food industry not only for their nutritional richness but also for their promising techno‐functional properties. Research shows that isolated compounds from microalgae exhibit excellent techno‐functional properties as emulsifiers and thickeners, sometimes outperforming commercial additives ...
