A Facilitation Cascade Enhances Local Biodiversity in Seagrass Beds

open access: yesDiversity, 2019
Invertebrate diversity can be a key driver of ecosystem functioning, yet understanding what factors influence local biodiversity remains uncertain. In many marine and terrestrial systems, facilitation cascades where primary foundation and/or autogenic ...

Behavioral Evidence of Predator–Predator Commensalism: Cobia Track and Feed on Prey Disturbed by Southern Stingrays

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 225-234, March 2026.
We documented a novel predator–predator commensal foraging interaction between cobia (Rachycentron canadum) and a southern stingray (Hypanus americanus) in a shallow coastal habitat of Biscayne Bay, Florida. Using drone‐based observations, we recorded a 7‐min sequence in which a cobia closely tracked the stingray's movements and fed on prey disturbed ...

Ten golden rules for restoration to secure resilient and just seagrass social‐ecological systems

open access: yesPlants, People, Planet
Societal Impact Statement Seagrass meadows are a globally important habitat subject to significant loss. As efforts to restore these sensitive habitats are hampered by their high cost and low levels of reliability, rigorous guidance is required to ...

Implications of climate change for coastal and inter-tidal habitats in the UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Coastal habitats are diverse and vary in the extent to which they are shaped by physiographic processes, such as wave action, wind, tides and sediment availability, and the relative influence of terrestrial and marine environments, e.g.

A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 342-369, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...

Long‐Term Trends in Juvenile Blue Crab Recruitment Patterns in a Wind‐Driven Estuary

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 225-236, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Conserving exploited marine species requires understanding population dynamics across life stages and habitats. This study analyzes juvenile blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) recruitment trends in North Carolina's Albemarle‐Pamlico Estuarine System.

A novel single‐cell NAD‐ME C4 subtype integrated with CAM and bicarbonate use in an aquatic plant

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2386-2401, March 2026.
Summary Many plants maximize photosynthesis by using a CO2‐concentrating mechanism (CCM). Based on physiology, the freshwater plant Ottelia alismoides has three CCMs: C4 metabolism (NAD‐malic enzyme (NAD‐ME) subtype) and bicarbonate‐use during the day plus crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) at night and lacks Kranz anatomy. Here, we combined a range of

Integrating economic values and catchment modelling [PDF]

open access: yes
Integrated catchment policies are widely used to manage natural resources in Australian catchments. Decision support tools available to aid integrated catchment management are often limited in their integration of environmental processes with socio ...

Seagrass productivity : from plant to system

open access: yes, 2018
Seagrasses form one of the most productive habitats on earth and are recognized as very efficient carbon sinks. The levels and patterns of productivity within and across different seagrass systems vary widely due to natural or human-induced factors. Seagrass plants, being the foundation species of seagrass meadows, have a substitutional role as primary
