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.

Monitoring Corals from Rescue to Care with ArcGIS and Flickr

Media + Environment, 2021
This article intervenes in disaster media research by investigating the complex system of mediation that is required to mitigate coral disease and to monitor coral rescue and care. Stony coral tissue loss disease, discovered in 2014, has rapidly infected

Bacteriomes associated with white‐leg disease in tropical rock lobster (Panulirus ornatus) hatcheries

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract White‐leg disease (WLD) is an emerging condition affecting tropical rock lobster, Panulirus ornatus, larviculture, characterized by whitening of pereiopods and uropods, followed by rapid mortality. Despite its significant impact on aquaculture productivity, the bacterial drivers and environmental sources of WLD are still poorly understood ...

Into the Wild: Farm‐Derived Energy and Nutrients Enter Marine Food Webs With Carrying Capacity Implications for Aquaculture Management

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...

Spatial differences in recruit density, survival, and size structure prevent population growth of stony coral assemblages in southeast Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science
The size structure of stony coral populations can reveal underlying demographic barriers to population growth or recovery. Recent declines in coral cover from acute disturbances are well documented, but few studies have assessed size structure and the ...

International principles and standards for the practice of ecological restoration. Third edition

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue S2, June 2026.
Abstract Introduction Growth in understanding of ecological restoration necessitates updated guidance for effective, equitable, and outcome‐oriented restoration across terrestrial, inland water, and coastal and marine ecosystems. The third edition of the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) International Principles and Standards for the Practice of

Cross‐Depth Genetic Connectivity Supports the Role of Deep Kelp Forests as Refuge From Climate Change

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Ocean warming and marine heatwaves are threatening the persistence of kelp forests, but cooler, deeper reefs might act as refuges from which shallow populations can recover. This study aimed to assess the genetic connectivity, diversity, and adaptive structure of deep kelp reefs to evaluate their potential as climate refuges.

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

A new method to control the invasive sun corals (Tubastraea spp.): Underwater compressed‐air blasting

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Underwater compressed‐air blasting is a novel method developed to control invasive sun corals (Tubastraea spp.). The technique removes coral soft tissue without fragmenting colonies, reducing the risk of regeneration and accidental spread. This approach offers a safer and practical tool for managing invasive corals in natural reefs and biofouling ...

Response and Plasticity of a Cleaning Mutualism Following Short Term Reductions in Habitat Availability

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
On coral reef ecosystems, cleaning mutualisms where a ‘cleaner’ species removes parasites from a ‘client’ species at dedicated cleaning ‘stations’ on live coral are directly impacted by ongoing declines in live coral due to environmental change. We reduced cleaner fish access to live habitat and identified declines in mutualist service quality and ...
