300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts
Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Geographic Patterns of Head Morphology in Syngnathus typhle Across Marine Regions
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Morphometric analysis of Syngnathus typhle head shape shows distinct geographic patterns across Baltic, North, Atlantic, and Mediterranean marine regions, driven by variation in snout length, head depth, and eye position. Findings provide a non‐invasive baseline for conservation monitoring.

Habitat-mediated facilitation and counteracting ecosystem engineering interactively influence ecosystem responses to disturbance [PDF]
, 2011 Recovery of an ecosystem following disturbance can be severely hampered or even shift altogether when a point disturbance exceeds a certain spatial threshold. Such scale-dependent dynamics may be caused by preemptive competition, but may also result from

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We constructed a standardized data repository for all 46 species, integrating 56 variables across morphological and physiological, life‐history, ecological, biogeographical, environmental, and conservation dimensions. Additionally, we collected data on body size, coloration, distributional range, and extinction risk for all 22 subspecies.

Rocking the Boat: Damage to Eelgrass by Swinging Boat Moorings
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Seagrass meadows commonly reside in shallow sheltered embayments typical of the locations that provide an attractive option for mooring boats. Given the potential for boat moorings to result in disturbance to the seabed due to repeated physical impact ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Seagrass meadows are vulnerable to fine sediment (mud) pollution, with impacts usually attributed to reduction in submerged light. Here we tested two non-exclusive hypotheses, that mud particles (

A validated 3D point‐cloud analysis workflow for the creation of seagrass canopy height models
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Seagrasses support highly productive ecosystems in both temperate and tropical waters and provide essential ecosystem services. Despite their importance, the vertical structure of seagrasses (i.e. the canopy) remains poorly characterised at the microscale, even though it is a strong predictor of ecological processes that influence both ...

Factors influencing seagrass recovery in Feather Sound, Tampa Bay, Florida [PDF]
, 2004 This document is a summary of the findings and recommendations of the Feather Sound Seagrass Recovery Workgroup. In response to nutrient load reductions and resulting clearer water, seagrasses have expanded significantly in many areas of Tampa Bay since ...
