Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe oceans are warming, and marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency, extremity and duration. As ectotherms, fish that experience temperatures above their optimum suffer a host of physiological and demographic impacts, which result in a net negative ...

Differential response to abiotic stress controls species distributions at biogeographic transition zones [PDF]
, 2017 Understanding range limits is critical to predicting species responses to climate change. Subtropical environments, where many species overlap at their range margins, are cooler, more light-limited and variable than tropical environments.

Biological Effects of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil in Surface and Deep Ocean Species [PDF]
, 2011 Beginning with the use of industrial-strength detergents, dispersing agents have been employed in spill response for decades. The Corexit series of agents in common use today generally consist of non-ionic and/or anionic surfactants in a solvent base ...

Caratterizzazione fisiografica, geomorfologica e bionomica della Rias di Santa Teresa di Gallura: Sardegna nord-orientale = Physiographic, geomorphological and bionomic characterization of the Santa Teresa di Gallura Rias (N.E. Sardinia) [PDF]
, 2011 An underwater survey in the Rias of S. Teresa di Gallura was made to characterize the benthic environment by integrating three methods: Side Scan Sonar, ROV, SCUBA diving. The main bionomic features at different depths were described and mapped.

Biogeographic variation in the microbiome of the ecologically important sponge, Carteriospongia foliascens [PDF]
, 2015 Sponges are well known for hosting dense and diverse microbial communities, but how these associations vary with biogeography and environment is less clear.

Frontiers in Remote SensingThrough sharing characteristics of chorus activity, especially in regions that are particularly data deficient, we can aim at a broader, global understanding of fish chorusing and consequently important spatiotemporal changes in habitat use by schooling ...
