Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

Shifts in Soil Fungal Community and Trophic Modes During Mangrove Ecosystem Restoration

Journal of Fungi
Mangrove ecosystems are valuable coastal ecosystems; however, studies on the diversity and functional features of their soil fungal communities during restoration are limited.

Colonization of non-planted mangrove species into restored mangrove stands in Gazi Bay, Kenya

Aquatic Botany, 2003
Recruitment of non-planted mangrove species into Rhizophora mucronata, Sonneratia albaand Avicennia marina reforested stands (all of them 5 years old) was investigated to assess possibilities for natural colonization. Corresponding bare (denuded or open without mangroves) and natural (relatively undisturbed) sites were used as controls.

Intact coastal nursery rearing amid climate‐driven phenological shifts in threatened salmon

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Literature linking phenology to climate has proliferated in recent decades and shows that climate change has reorganized seasonal opportunities worldwide. However, this literature often quantifies changes in point measures of timing (e.g., beginnings and peaks) without context about duration (e.g., rearing season length) or performance (e.g ...

Ecological restoration at pilot-scale employing site-specific rationales for small-patch degraded mangroves in Indian Sundarbans

Scientific Reports
To date, degraded mangrove ecosystem restoration accomplished worldwide primarily aligns towards rehabilitation with monotypic plantations, while ecological restoration principles are rarely followed in these interventions.

Complete organellar genomes of Cystophora brownii: Insights into mitochondrial and plastid structure and evolution in brown algae

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cystophora (order Fucales) is one of the most diverse genera of habitat‐forming brown algae and is endemic to temperate reefs of Australia and New Zealand. Species in this genus form complex habitat structures that support diverse marine communities and contribute to coastal productivity. However, Cystophora spp.

How does climate influence mangrove litterfall production across different species? A case study in Zhanjiang, China

Trees, Forests and People
Mangrove litterfall represents a major pathway of energy and nutrient flux, yet species-specific and organ-specific climatic responses remain insufficiently understood. This study quantified litterfall dynamic of three dominant mangrove species—Avicennia

The roads most traveled: genetic convergence in plant repeated evolution

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Observation of a genotype–phenotype association in a focal lineage (magnifying lens) provides a starting point for predicting homolog reuse during repeated trait evolution. This review suggests that the likelihood that mutations in homologous genes contribute to similar phenotypes in other lineages depends on both mutational effect stability (MES) and ...

Species‐level controls of foliar methane and nitrous oxide fluxes: roles of traits and microbes in temperate trees

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Species‐level variation in temperate tree foliar greenhouse gas exchange, showing consistent foliar CH4 uptake, N2O emission, stronger CH4 uptake in fall leaves, and contrasting methanotroph communities between the high‐CH4‐oxidizing species Tilia americana and the low‐CH4‐oxidizing species Prunus virginiana. Summary The contribution of tree foliage to

Wetland plant growth in recycled glass sand versus dredged river sand: evaluating a new resource for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.
