High‐Resolution Satellite Imagery Reveals Landscape‐Scale Benthic Habitat Changes in a Turbid Coral Reef

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
High‐resolution satellite imagery and landscape metrics revealed a 77% decline in coral‐dominated habitats at Abrolhos Bank between 2010 and 2024, accompanied by macroalgal and zoanthid expansion. Spatial reorganisation indicates increasing fragmentation, homogenisation and loss of reef structural complexity.

Examining the Role of Economic Complexity and Climate Readiness in the Climate‐Fishing Nexus

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the climate‐fisheries association in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations from 1999 to 2022. A key objective is to explore the role of both the economic complexity index (ECI) and the climate readiness factor (READ) in the climate‐fishing nexus.

Regional Sustainable Economic Development in the Caribbean? A Discursive Inquiry

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Caribbean region is governed by several regional bodies. Among the more important organizations for small island states, where coral reefs and ocean conservation are paramount, is the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Currently, the region is going through critical environmental changes that bring important vulnerabilities.

Mainstreaming Sustainability and Climate Change Across Higher Education: Lessons From Ten Pioneering Universities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Higher education institutions (HEIs) play a critical role in preparing graduates to address the interconnected global crises of the 21st century. Despite explicit calls from UNESCO's Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) framework (SDG 4 on quality education) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change's (UNFCCC) Action

The coastal ichthyofauna of the Mediterranean coral reef: the case of Mljet National Park (Croatia, southern Adriatic Sea)

Frontiers in Marine Science
The authors studied the structure of the coastal fish assemblage in a temperate coral reef within a marine protected area in order to provide a baseline information on the occurrence and temporal distribution of fish and to highlight the importance of ...

RETRACE Project: How to Enhance Resilience to Climate Risks in Pacific and Arctic Indigenous Communities?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Risk management has evolved to analyze risks in a systemic way, integrating local knowledge with the abstract concept of resilience, which is now an imperative for vulnerable and exposed communities. However, existing decision‐support tools are mainly focused on technical‐functional aspects and, although based on rigorous and scientific ...

Tail wagging cats: Veterinary implications of AI‐generated video

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) has the capacity to create realistic and convincing animal videos; however, it must simplify and reduce behavioural variation to do so, possibly leading to misinformation. Methods We categorised 29 videos in the press release for a specific video genAI engine. Twelve featured animals.

Fish Assemblages Associated with Different Artificial Reef Designs on the Great Barrier Reef

Sustainable Aquatic Research
Artificial reefs have been extensively used to enhance fisheries and restore aquatic habitats. Yet their ecological effectiveness remains highly variable and appears strongly dependent on design and/or configuration.

Reconstructing reef fish communities using fish otoliths in coral reef sediments.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Little is known about long-term changes in coral reef fish communities. Here we present a new technique that leverages fish otoliths in reef sediments to reconstruct coral reef fish communities. We found over 5,400 otoliths in 169 modern and mid-Holocene

Rising temperature non‐additively alters how different dimensions of biodiversity affect ecosystem‐scale processes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The authors distil how dimensions of biodiversity drive ecosystem processes with increasing temperature. Specifically, species physiology more greatly affected ecosystem primary production than did foraging behaviour, and physiology mediated non‐additive interactions with temperature.
