Assessment of ecosystem status in Mozambique and implications for environmental planning

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We assess Mozambique's terrestrial ecosystems using the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems framework, showing that more than half of Mozambique's ecosystems are threatened, with impacts primarily concentrated in temperate subhumid grasslands and pyric tussock savannas.

Impacts of stony coral tissue loss disease on the persistence of Caribbean cleaner gobies

Frontiers in Marine Science
Because they serve as the main architects of coral reefs, the distribution and abundance of stony coral species have major impacts on other associated community members. Thus, coral diseases can have significant cascading effects throughout the ecosystem.

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

Ecography, EarlyView.
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.

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) destabilizes the coral microbiome

AbstractStony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is a rapidly spreading lethal coral disease, the etiology of which remains poorly understood. In this study, using deep metagenomic sequencing, we investigate microbial and viral community dynamics associated with SCTLD progression in the Caribbean stony coralDiploria labyrinthiformis.

Colour Polymorphism in Coconut Crabs Is Under Relaxed Selection From Conspecifics?

Ethology, EarlyView.
Coconut crabs are either red or blue irrespective of age or sex, are nocturnal and have very few predators. This experimental study shows that they do not use conspecific's colour but do use relative size to settle competitive interactions over food in the wild.

Ineffectiveness of topical antibiotics in treating Acropora spp. affected by white diseases

Frontiers in Marine Science
For many decades, white band disease (WB) and white pox disease (WPX) have been severely impacting populations of the reef building corals Acropora palmata and A. cervicornis throughout the Caribbean region.

Global Analysis of Shallow Underwater Fish Observation Research: 70 Years of Progress, Persistent Geographic Biases and a Path Forward

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by overfishing, pollution, coastal development and climate change, underscoring the need for long‐term, representative information on key fish populations and habitats to inform management and policy.
