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 international climate change regime and general principles of law
Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, EarlyView.Abstract The Climate Change Advisory Opinion (AO) by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) demonstrates the growing prominence of general principles of law in international law. The Climate Change AO was handed down at the end of the International Law Commission's project on general principles of law with the adoption of its Draft Conclusions.

Specialized Committees of International Organizations an Important Source of Organizational Autonomy
Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Assigning the preparation of decisions to specialized committees composed of member state representatives is a widespread response to the ‘governor's dilemma’, that is, the tension between competence and control, in international organizations (IOs). We theorize a causal mechanism referring to self‐selection and agenda‐setting effects and show

Thermal Stress Is Associated With Fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica Meadows
Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.By combining a physiological model of cumulative thermal stress with AI‐based seagrass mapping, we show that chronic sublethal warming is associated with fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica meadows and increased regression risk by 2100. ABSTRACT Posidonia oceanica meadows, which underpin Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, are undergoing ...

Deep Dark Futures: Foresighting Human Impacts on Mesopelagic Ecosystem Services
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 876-894, July 2026.This study uses foresighting to explore four plausible future scenarios of human activity affecting mesopelagic ecosystem services; provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural. Using participatory scenario development, qualitative network modelling and indicator design, we assess systemic risks and early warning signals linked to harvest, climate

Baroclinic Submesoscale Eddies in the Ross Ice Shelf Cavity Alter Heat Pathways to the Ice Base
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract The influence of baroclinic submesoscale eddies on basal melting beneath Ross Ice Shelf remains poorly understood. We analyzed a 4.5‐year mooring record from the central cavity and identified seven eddy‐like events from variability in density, velocity, and thermohaline structure, with horizontal scales (∼11 km) characteristic of submesoscale ...

Environmental and Protection Effects of Shark‐Companion Associations Across Three Ocean Basins
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Companion species frequently associate with large marine hosts, yet the ecological drivers of these relationships remain poorly understood. Using a global dataset of midwater BRUVS deployments, we modelled the presence and abundance of shark‐companion associations across seven shark species and three ocean basins.

A global assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren: Functional consistency with depth
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Lebensspuren—sedimentary traces produced by benthic organisms—are widespread on deep‐sea floors but remain infrequently reported from abyssal (~ 3000–6000) and hadal (> 6000 m) environments. Here, we present the most comprehensive assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren to date, spanning multiple ocean basins and reaching full‐ocean

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.Suspended sediment (SS) is a major stressor to coastal marine ecosystems worldwide, with SS loads expected to increase under future anthropogenic and climatic pressures. Sponges, as obligate filter feeders, are often assumed to be sensitive to elevated SS, yet responses vary widely among species, and little is known about physiological impacts of SS ...

Environmental influence on intraspecific trait variation in the tropical seagrass Halodule uninervis
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Intraspecific trait variation (ITV) enhances the precision of applying functional trait approaches in plant ecology. Despite its benefits, ITV is rarely considered in functional trait‐based seagrass research. The goal of our research is to measure ITV in the tropical seagrass species Halodule uninervis and assess the environmental factors associated ...
