From shell to shelter: investigating small reef fish abundance on degraded seafloor restored with mussels and shell material

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Reef‐forming shellfish facilitate biodiversity through providing structural complexity in benthic habitats. Globally, reef‐forming shellfish have been overharvested to near extirpation, with a corresponding loss in biodiversity. Mussel shell material, an aquaculture by‐product, has the potential to rehabilitate ecosystem services ...

The development of multiplex PCR assays for the rapid identification of multiple Saccostrea species, and their practical applications in restoration and aquaculture

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Background The ecology and biology of oysters (Ostreidae) across the tropics is poorly understood. Morphological plasticity and shared characteristics among oysters have resulted in the misidentification of species, creating challenges for understanding ...

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.

Carbohydrate intake of 10 g/kg body mass rapidly replenishes liver, but not muscle glycogen contents, during 12 h of post‐exercise recovery in well‐trained cyclists

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Exhaustive cycling exercise substantially reduces liver and muscle glycogen stores. During 12 h of post‐exercise recovery without carbohydrate intake, glycogen stores remain depleted. In contrast, when carbohydrate is consumed at 10 g/kg body mass (BM), provided during the first 6 h as sucrose beverages (1.2 g/kg BM/h), liver ...

Surface complexity and gastropod exclusion drive colonization of an intertidal eco‐engineered structure

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Habitat complexity and grazing by invertebrate molluscs shaped community structure and ecosystem functioning on eco‐engineered substrates through distinct mechanisms. Increasing structural complexity increased invertebrate species richness with limited effects on macroalgae and carbon flux, while grazer exclusion had strong effects on macroalgal ...

Biosensors for Biotoxins Detection and Monitoring

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review examines state‐of‐the‐art biosensing platforms for biotoxin detection, including antibody‐, aptamer‐, CRISPR‐, nanopore‐, whole cells‐ and MIP‐based sensors. It highlights advances in ultra‐sensitive detection, real‐matrix validation in food and water, and multiplexed analysis, and discusses how the integration with machine learning ...

Community‐based marine restoration to generate social licence and ecological knowledge for upscaling oyster reef restoration

People and Nature
Community‐led restoration operates at the intersection of ecological feasibility and social acceptability. In the marine realm, restoration is challenging due to gaps in ecological knowledge on how and where to restore lost ecosystems and limited public ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
