ABSTRACT Mesophotic reefs are located in low light conditions which, depending on the region, are usually found in water depths greater than ~30 m. They are less affected by ocean warming than reefs found in shallower water depths and thus might become increasingly important for the sustainability of marine biodiversity.

Husbandry of Newly Born Endangered White's Seahorse, Hippocampus whitei, for Conservation Stocking
ABSTRACT Conservation stocking programmes have been increasingly used to reverse wildlife population declines; however, the success of such programmes can often depend on the number and fitness of animals translocated or released. The White's seahorse Hippocampus whitei is an endangered seahorse species endemic to eastern Australia, where a ...

ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has transformed biodiversity monitoring across taxa from bacteria to mammals, yet sample collection remains a major bottleneck. Passive sampling via adsorption and entrapment has emerged as a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of conventional active filtration.

ABSTRACT The American Lobster (Homarus americanus) is the target of an extensive fishery in the Northwest Atlantic, yet there is no systematic method for evaluating relative performance of baits for the fishery. We used Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) to assess lobster attraction to commercial baits versus natural prey.

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Consumer resilience suppresses the recovery of overgrazed ecosystems
Abstract Many heterotroph species perish when faced with severe food limitation; others can persist, adapt, and thrive. Sea urchins are emblematic of this paradox: they can overgraze kelp forests to form barren habitats, but can then survive for decades in these nutritionally depauperate seascapes.

We report the first record of a non‐native hermatypic coral in Venezuela, exhibiting biological traits characteristic of invasive species. The coral is a member of the genus Acropora (Scleractinia: Acroporidae), native to the Indo‐Pacific. This non‐native petrous coral occurred in a reef of the Morrocoy National Park, in the southern Caribbean.

Male Strategic Association With Mating Partners Under Varying Social Contexts in a Livebearing Fish
We found that in halfbeaks, a shoaling fish species, males preferentially associated with an opposite sex pair (i.e., a female and a male) over rival males, but showed no preference when choosing between a pair and females. Overall, our data show that males followed informed association strategies that are primarily driven by mating opportunities ...

Abstract Female reproductive fitness has been clearly shown to be determined in part by a trade‐off between offspring size and number, and the corresponding performance of the offspring. The performance of offspring and corresponding reproductive fitness may vary in relation to changes in environmental conditions, such as food availability.

This study presents an integrated anatomical, chemical, biological, and computational analysis of Myrcia sylvatica, revealing key bioactive compounds with antioxidant and toxicological potential, and identifying spathulenol and globulol as promising acetylcholinesterase inhibitors with favourable pharmacokinetic properties. ABSTRACT Myrcia sylvatica (G.
