Functionally Rich Fish Assemblages Support Greater Rates of Multiple Ecological Functions in Seagrass Meadows

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We show that the functional diversity of fishes promotes multifunctionality in seagrass meadows. We found that there was consistency in the seascape context and connectivity variables that structured the rate and distribution of different components of functioning and the functional diversity of fish in seagrass meadows.

Tectonics as a Regulator of Shoreline Retreat and Rocky Coast Evolution Across Timescales

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Rocky coast morphology is shaped by interactions between wave action, sea level, and tectonics over millennial time scales. However, a clear and quantifiable signature of tectonic uplift on decadal to centennial shoreline retreat rates is outstanding.

Comparison of the sonar recording method and the aerial photography method for mapping seagrass meadows

Acta Geographica Slovenica, 2020
This article presents a new perspective on the study of the spatial distribution of seagrass meadows, which—due to their sensitivity to coastal hydrodynamics, sediment transport, changes in nutrient content, and disruptions due to human intervention in ...

Unravelling echinoid mass mortalities: a global overview of mechanisms, spatio‐temporal trends, and taxonomic insights

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 221-236, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Mass mortality events (MMEs) have been occurring since the dawn of time. However, in contrast to terrestrial events, most marine MMEs remain undetected, largely due to the inaccessibility of many marine environments. One of the most notorious and best‐studied marine MMEs in modern times is that of the population collapse of the echinoid ...

Mapping Mediterranean bentho‐demersal communities to better inform marine conservation

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Marine protected areas are one of the most common conservation tools being implemented worldwide to reach conservation targets, but their implementation does not usually take the heterogeneous distribution of bentho‐demersal communities into account.

Evaluating SWOT in the Coastal Zone: Comparisons With Tide Gauge and Airborne LiDAR in the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary, UK

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Traditional nadir altimeters struggle with coastal water surface elevation (WSE) measurement and fine‐scale river‐estuary interactions, due to land‐water signal interference and their wide inter‐track spacing. The wide‐swath Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, using a new Ka‐band radar interferometer, aims to address these ...

Biological Conversion of Formate to Organic Compounds: Toward a Sustainable Formate Bioeconomy

Carbon Energy, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
Formate bioconversion plays a crucial role in achieving renewable resource utilization and sustainable development. To tap its full potential, it is important to identify the most appropriate microbial hosts for incorporating formate into building blocks, design the most promising metabolic pathways for transmitting formate into central carbon ...
