Methods to estimate marine functional connectivity: A primer

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.
Abstract Organism movement is a key process in the transfer of individuals, genes, functional traits, matter, and energy among habitat patches, at sea and across the land–sea interface. The resulting fluxes, collectively termed marine functional connectivity (MFC), underpin planetary health and an array of ecosystem services.

Green Turtle Chelonia mydas Spatial Use Within the Gorgona National Natural Park, Colombian Pacific: Implications for Local Conservation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study explores the spatial ecology of green turtles within the Gorgona National Natural Park (GNNP), providing insights into habitat preferences, movement patterns, and conservation implications for this vulnerable species in the Colombian Pacific. Ten green turtles were tracked in the GNNP using satellite telemetry, with tracking duration ranging

Investigating the Predation Risk of Coastal Dolphins via the Presence of Shark Bite Scars Across Southeast Queensland, Australia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Shark bite scars were analysed on coastal dolphins in southeast Queensland, Australia to compare the predation risk between species and habitats. Australian humpback dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) exhibited the highest bite rates and individuals found in sheltered waters had higher shark bite scar prevalence than open waters.

Stress‐Resistant Symbiodiniaceae and Diverse Bacterial Communities Promote Coral Persistence in Variable, Multi‐Stressor Environments

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Corals living in multi‐stressor bays in Curaçao maintain stress‐tolerant symbiotic algae and specialized bacterial communities in comparison to those in nearby reefs. These findings provide insight into how Caribbean coral holobionts persist in extreme and marginal conditions and may respond under future environmental conditions.

Temporal shifts in kelp forest structure and distribution largely reflect recent ocean warming trends

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Ocean warming is driving the redistribution of species at a global scale. Biogeographic transition zones are hotspots of species range shifts, as both warm‐ and cold‐adapted species are found toward contrasting range edges. While anecdotal evidence suggests some distributional shifts have occurred in the northeast Atlantic, the empirical evidence base ...

Analysis of seasonal biomass variation of the three main seagrass species in the Venice Lagoon along different environmental gradients in urban and natural sites

reservedSeagrasses are a small group of marine angiosperms that colonize the majority of coastal and estuarine habitats worldwide, from the tropics to subarctic regions.

Mangroves and seagrasses

, 2019
Sandwiched between two of the world’s iconic tropical ecosystems of coral reefs and rainforests, are two important coastal communities: mangroves and seagrasses. While corals flourish in shallow warm seas, and rainforests cover wetter upland regions, all

Fishes in Eelgrass Meadows Show Large Interspecific Differences in Thermal Acclimation to Marine Heatwaves

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Marine heatwaves increasingly expose shallow eelgrass habitats to thermal extremes. We experimentally exposed 12 fish species collected from eelgrass meadows to a simulated heatwave and quantified thermal tolerance and short‐term acclimation capacity.
