Standardized 16S Meta‐Analysis Reveals Consistent Host‐Associated Patterns in Laminariales Epiphytic Microbiomes

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
An integrated bioinformatic pipeline combining taxonomic, functional, and network analyses revealed host‐driven structuring of macroalgal microbiomes. Phaeophyceae hosted distinct epiphytic communities enriched in chemoheterotrophy and polysaccharide degradation, highlighting metabolic coupling, keystone taxa, and a standardized framework for ...

Evaluating land–sea linkages using land cover change and coral reef monitoring data: A case study from northeastern Puerto Rico

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 545-561, August 2026.
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.

Ocean acidification, more than warming or heatwaves, constrains shoaling behaviour in a range‐extending fish through habitat simplification

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1386-1400, August 2026.
We show that ocean acidification, more than warming or marine heatwaves, alters shoaling behaviour indirectly by simplifying reef habitat and reducing population densities and shoal sizes. Because fish behaviour can be strongly mediated by shoal size, climate‐driven habitat change may reshape social dynamics that influence how range‐extending fishes ...

Multi‐metric complexity drives ecological succession on blue‐green infrastructure across scales

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that restoring coastal habitat complexity can substantially improve ecosystem diversity and functioning, offering a scalable marine conservation approach within increasingly engineered seascapes. We highlight the need for multi‐metric, multi‐scale assessments of spatio‐temporal community formation on eco‐engineered ...

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Effects of biosecure macroalgae in formulated feeds on the gut bacterial microbiome of abalone Haliotis midae

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society
Dietary macroalgae are known to contribute directly and indirectly to the gut microflora of abalone. However, certain farms require macroalgae to be made biosecure to eliminate microbiota and reduce their risk of acting as a vector for potential disease ...

Beta Diversity and Rarity Assessment of Sessile Cryptobenthic Communities Across Depth and Islands Can Inform Coral Reef Conservation

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigates a poorly known component of coral reefs, the cryptobiome, species that live hidden within the reef matrix, essential for reef functioning and productivity. It focuses on patterns of diversity and rarity of sessile cryptobenthic communities across Mascarene islands, and across shallow and mesophotic habitats (in deep

Recent advances of emergent extraction technologies to enhance bioactive compounds extraction of microalgae—An overview towards application in cosmetics

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 884-910, August 2026.
Microalgae extracts show immense potential in cosmetics for their bioactivities; emerging extraction techniques enhance bioactive compound yield from microalgae. Abstract Microalgae have attracted significant interest in numerous sectors, particularly in the cosmetic industries, owing to their rich composition of bioactive compounds. This paper aims to

Holdfast adhesion in the kelp Alaria marginata: Cell wall polysaccharides and phenolics

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 1344-1355, August 2026.
Abstract Adhesion is a critical process in the survival of seaweeds, especially in wave‐swept environments. Kelp (Laminariales) sporophytes secrete adhesives from specialized rhizoid cells to anchor themselves to the substrate and withstand immense forces applied by waves.
