Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Land cover change that leads to increased nutrient and sediment runoff is an important driver of change in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, we combined satellite remote sensing and field monitoring to assess concomitant changes in watershed land cover and coral cover in northeastern Puerto Rico in 2000–2015.

Are physiological and ecosystem-level tipping points caused by ocean acidification? A critical evaluation [PDF]
Earth System DynamicsOcean acidification (OA) is predicted to cause profound shifts in many marine ecosystems by impairing the ability of calcareous taxa to calcify and grow and by influencing the physiology of many others.

Ocean acidification conditions increase resilience of marine diatoms
Nature Communications, 2018 Diatoms account for 40% of marine primary production and their sensitivity to ocean acidification could have ecosystem-wide consequences. Here, the authors developed and applied a stress test, demonstrating that resilience of diatoms increases ...

Optimising Wave Energy Plant Location Through Neutrosophic Multi‐Criteria Group Decision‐Making
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global shift towards sustainable energy has intensified research into renewable sources, particularly wave energy. Pakistan, with its long coastline, holds significant potential for wave energy development. However, identifying optimal locations for wave energy plants involves evaluating complex, multi‐faceted criteria.

The effect of environmental stressors on the development and behaviour of larval Oryzias latipes [PDF]
, 2020 Elevated water temperature and dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) are two environmental stressors that freshwater organisms face in the Anthropocene. Larval fishes are particularly susceptible to elevation in water parameters, as they are often confined to ...

Half a century of echinoid population decline in the northern Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.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 ...
