ESTIMATION OF SEAGRASS COVERAGE BY DEPTH INVARIANT INDICES ON QUICKBIRD IMAGERY

Biotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology, 2010
Management of seagrass ecosystem requires availability of information on the actual condition of seagrass coverage. Remote sensing technology for seagrass mapping has been used to detect the presence of seagrass coverage, but so far no information on ...

The Multiple Roles of Genetics on Freshwater Macrophyte Functional Traits in the Interplay With the Environment: A Review

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review examines how genetic and environmental factors jointly shape functional trait variation in aquatic plants. By synthesizing the literature from the last fifteen years, we analyze the roles of genetic diversity, epigenetic variation, genome size, and gene expression in relation to phenotypic plasticity, natural selection, and genetic drift ...

Impacts of dredging and restoration on sedimentary carbon stocks in seagrass meadows of Pari Island, Indonesia

Scientific Reports
The effects of dredging and restoration on carbon sequestration in seagrass sediments is not well understood. Our knowledge is derived from few studies conducted in areas affected by dredging or restoration, the majority of which are from temperate ...

Reproduction on the Rocks: Life History of a Freshwater Macrobioeroding Bivalve

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Macrobioerosion, the excavation and removal of consolidated mineral substrates by macrofauna, is well established in marine systems, where macrobioeroders drive carbonate cycling, sediment production and habitat formation. In freshwater ecosystems, however, it has been documented in only a small number of invertebrate taxa and remains a poorly

Oyster reef habitat characteristics and nekton communities vary with restoration method in a large‐scale project

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Restoration in coastal ecosystems is revitalizing populations of foundation species that provide valuable habitat to support biodiversity and ecosystem services. The goals of oyster reef restoration include increasing oyster populations and oyster reef ecosystem services such as provision of habitat for commercially and ecologically valuable ...

Modularity limits the spatial propagation of disturbance in experimental seagrass networks

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding how habitat structure affects disturbance dynamics among connected patches is a central issue in ecology. Network theory predicts that a modular arrangement of habitat patches can limit the spread of local perturbations, reducing the probability of large‐scale impacts.

Two eDNA Assays to Detect the Sympatric Seahorses Hippocampus hippocampus and Hippocampus guttulatus During Their Northward Range Shifts

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Small and well camouflaged fish are difficult to monitor, but they do release DNA into the water (1). These assays allow for targeted monitoring of two European seahorses of conservation concern, using two primers and probe pairs with high specificity (2) and proven detections from the field (3).

Fish Community Composition Revealed by eDNA Metabarcoding in Mangrove‐Associated Lagoons of Negombo and Puttalam, Sri Lanka

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
eDNA metabarcoding revealed distinct fish community composition between Negombo and Puttalam lagoons, with richness broadly comparable to conventional surveys. The approach detected diverse taxa, including cryptic taxa, demonstrating its value as a complementary tool for biodiversity monitoring in Sri Lanka's mangrove‐associated lagoons.

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 ...
