Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

1D Basin Modelling of Upper Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous Source Rocks in the Southern Pletmos Sub‐Basin, Outeniqua Basin, Offshore South Africa

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 1382-1411, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pletmos sub‐basin in the Outeniqua Basin, offshore South Africa, is divided by the Superior, Pletmos and Plettenberg faults into northern and southern depocentres. In this study, geological and organic geochemical data together with 1D basin modelling were used to investigate the burial, thermal and maturation histories, and the timing of ...

Community Awareness and Evidence of Dugong (Dugong dugon) Presence in Anjouan, Comoros

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The dugong (Dugong dugon), listed as Vulnerable globally, is poorly documented in the Western Indian Ocean, including the Comoros. We combined Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) and Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) to assess occurrence and reported encounters around the island of Anjouan.

Wave-induced sloping seabed residual response around a buried pipeline

Most studies of the wave interaction with pipeline were conducted on a flat seabed. This paper presents the results from the numerical modelling simulation to investigate the wave induced response around a half-buried pipeline on a sloping seabed.

The effects of bioturbation on porewater chemistry and early marine diagenesis: Evidence from a modern intertidal zone in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2120-2142, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Early marine carbonate cements generally form in CaCO3‐supersaturated seawater at the seabed or shallow burial depths, resulting in syn‐sedimentary cemented firmgrounds and hardgrounds. The processes controlling early marine diagenesis are complex, particularly in coastal environments where geochemistry is influenced by different water sources

Generation and Preservation of Submarine Terraces: Insights From Records Imprinted on the Topography of Dokdo Volcano

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Marine terraces archive sea‐level and tectonic history, yet their relationship to individual highstands remains contentious. While most studies focus on subaerial terraces in uplifting settings, submerged terraces in subsiding settings are less explored. We develop a 1‐D wave‐erosion model and apply it to Dokdo — a subsiding volcanic island in

Island Invader: Rugulopteryx okamurae and the Challenge for Macaronesian Coasts

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Since 2015, Rugulopteryx okamurae, a brown seaweed native to the Northwest Pacific, has become one of the most conspicuous marine invaders in the European continental coastal waters. Its recent establishment in the Macaronesian archipelagos (the Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands) has produced significant ecological changes, including ...

Habitat loss does not affect ecological connectivity for a habitat engineer with short dispersal

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Habitat loss, directly linked to anthropogenic activities, is a key driver of biodiversity loss globally; in combination with habitat fragmentation, it leads to smaller, more isolated population patches. Such changes in habitat configuration can negatively impact population connectivity (i.e., the supply of individuals locally or from ...

From environmental heterogeneity to stability: Beta‐diversity stabilizes biomass across space

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding how biodiversity influences ecosystem stability across heterogeneous landscapes is a central challenge in ecology. The spatial insurance hypothesis proposes that turnover in species composition stabilizes ecosystem processes in heterogeneous environments if species dominate in the habitats to which they are best adapted.
