Network indices show heat wave‐induced fragility in experimental food webs: Operational insights for ecosystem management

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract Emerging global change imposes challenges for marine ecosystems placing them at the verge of collapse. The identification of early signs of ecosystem collapse is crucial to assist adaptive management. Shifts in the ecosystems are preceded by rewiring of ecological networks.

Marine benthic plants of Western Australia’s shelf-edge atolls [PDF]

, 2009
One hundred and twenty-one species of marine algae, seagrasses and cyanobacteria are reported from the offshore atolls of northwestern Western Australia (the Rowley Shoals, Scott Reef and Seringapatam Reef).

Natural and human-induced disturbance of seagrasses

, 1996
Many natural and human-induced events create disturbances in seagrasses throughout the world, but quantifying losses of habitat is only beginning. Over the last decade, 90000 ha of seagrass loss have been documented although the actual area lost is ...

Global Patterns and Drivers of Climatic Niche Originality and Overlap: Disentangling Ecological From Methodological Signals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study presents BioOverlap, a global database quantifying macroclimatic niche properties, niche overlap, and geographic range overlap for ~16,000 species. Analyses reveal that niche originality consistently reflects ecological factors such as niche breadth, productivity, and climatic heterogeneity, whereas pairwise niche–range relationships are ...

δ13C as a Continuum: Tissue‐Based, Ontogenetic, and Interspecific Variation in Carbon Sourcing of a Photosymbiotic Bivalve (Subfamily Fraginae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Relationship between Fragum unedo shell height (mm) and tissue δ13C. Points are color coded by shell size categories (small, medium, big) with symbol shapes representing the types of tissues (foot, mantle, or gill). ABSTRACT Photosymbiotic marine invertebrates derive carbon from both symbiont photosynthesis and heterotrophic feeding, yet the relative ...

Estimates of Critical Upper Maxima (CTmax) of Kelp Species Are Strongly Influenced by Biogeography and Thermal History

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Experimentally derived critical thermal maxima (CTmax) are widely used to estimate species' thermal tolerance and increasingly to predict vulnerability to chronic warming. However, evidence shows how CTmax is dynamic and can be strongly influenced by multiple environmental and methodological factors, potentially limiting its application as a fixed ...

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 ...

Seagrasses counteract CO2 emissions

, 2021
Just like salt marshes and mangroves, seagrasses are ecologically important habitats in coastal ecosystems and are also important carbon storages. Seagrasses absorb CO2 and other forms of inorganic carbon from water and air and produce organic biomass, i.

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
