Which attributes of restored oyster reefs provide the best habitat for sportfish?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration practitioners seek to restore oyster ecosystems as habitat designed for species targeted by recreational fisheries, but they require information on which specific habitat parameters of oyster reefs are preferred by fish.

Testing coir (coconut) fiber as a novel, biodegradable material for coral reef restoration: coir interactions with larval and juvenile corals

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral populations have declined in recent decades, largely due to anthropogenic climate change. In response, coral restoration projects are being implemented, and rubble stabilization is one such approach. Rubble beds form when dead coral fragments accumulate on the seafloor and can be mobilized by water flow.

Recognition of fossil keratose sponges in carbonates using petrographic and machine‐learning classification

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Filamentous, anastomosing spar‐filled networks in Phanerozoic carbonates have been interpreted as the mineralised remains of keratose (non‐spiculate) sponges, yet their recognition remains contested because fabrics of broadly similar appearance may arise from microbial, diagenetic or physical processes. This study combines direct fossil–modern

“Is This Edible Anyway?” The Impact of Culture on the Evolution (and Devolution) of Mushroom Knowledge

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.

Mechanisms of haemoglobin mass expansion following heat stress

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Theorised mechanisms of heat stress‐induced erythropoiesis which may facilitate the expansion of haemoglobin mass. A, acute: heat stress‐induced renal ischaemia. Redistribution of blood flow away from the kidneys to facilitate thermoregulation during heat stress could reduce renal oxygen delivery, subsequently lowering renal PO2${

Entering the Era of Directly Supporting Society With Observation‐Based Ocean Acidification Data

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Ocean acidification is a growing concern for many nations around the world. However, our capacity to monitor changes in carbonate chemistry with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution, has until now, been limited, which has impeded effective action and decision‐making at international, national, and regional levels.

Decadal Bowhead Whale Baleen Stable Isotope and Hormone Chronologies (1985–2010) Provide Insight Into Arctic Ecosystem Change

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Long‐term chronologies constructed from individual bowhead baleen plates reveal stable isotope declines consistent with regional Arctic food web or productivity changes superimposed on global anthropogenic C and N inputs, while relatively stable hormone concentrations over the same period provide no evidence of a concomitant increase in physiological ...

Compound Hypoxia With Heat or Acidification Stress Induces Synergistic and Additive Effects on Coral Physiology

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Multi‐stressor experiments on three coral species demonstrate hypoxia produces mostly additive effects with acidification but synergistically amplifies physiological stress under elevated temperatures. As global and local environmental change increase compound stress events on coral reefs, distinguishing hypoxia‐driven effects and interactive stressor ...
