Abstract The biological carbon pump sequesters carbon through passive fluxes of biologically derived carbon, and by active vertical movement of marine organisms. Trophic coupling between pelagic and benthic communities increases the efficiency of the biological carbon pump as less carbon is lost to remineralization.

Abstract During the Eocene‐Oligocene Transition (ca. 34 Ma), the Earth underwent a dramatic decline in atmospheric CO2, global cooling, a deepening of the carbonate compensation depth (CCD), and the formation of a permanent ice sheet on Antarctica. The expansion of Antarctic glaciers eroded the underlying bedrock and increased the weathering flux to ...

Thresholds of Wave Forcing: Implications for Atoll Reef Dynamics Under Sea Level Rise
Abstract We investigate the response of shallow reef flow to tidal variability and wave exposure during a 4‐month field campaign in southern Huvadhu Atoll, Maldives. Incident waves breaking on steep fore reefs and reef crests generate a setup proportional to offshore wave height that drives a cross‐reef flow. We emphasize a critical threshold—where the

Ecological, Functional, and Phylogenetic Determinants of Cyanobacterial Biomineralisation
Cyanobacteria contribute to the global carbon cycle by biomineralising CO2 into solid carbonates. Unlike photosynthesis, biomineralisation is a less‐understood, multifaceted and adaptive metabolic process with significant global impact. It involves cell wall structures, genetic factors, and metabolic pathways that enable mineral formation and help ...

Assessing the microbiome of captive Pocillopora verrucosa corals showed that populations of proposed microbial symbiont Endozoicomonas could only be maintained when corals were co‐cultured with Chromis viridis damselfish and supplied live feeds.

Abstract Amid increasing anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, standardised biodiversity monitoring is critical for assessing biodiversity change. Marine hard‐bottom habitats, though ubiquitous and biodiverse, present challenges for biodiversity monitoring due to their complex structure and limited accessibility. Autonomous reef monitoring structures (
