Crustose coralline algae promote the survival and growth of coral recruits. However, these positive effects are not linked with the dynamics of the coral microbiome. Results reveal a transfer of opportunistic bacteria shared with all surrounding benthos, rather than a transfer of bacteria from specific algae to corals. ABSTRACT The persistence of coral

Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) enables non‐invasive assessment of aquatic biodiversity. Because eDNA is typically diluted and fragmented, most applications rely on short mitochondrial amplicons, which often fail to resolve closely related species and do not support individual‐level inference. However, intact or near‐full‐length mitochondrial genomes

ABSTRACT Nest association is a putatively mutualistic mode of reproduction utilized by many fishes of the North American freshwater family Leuciscidae. It is defined by the interaction between one ‘host’ species that builds and maintains a nest, and multiple other species of ‘nest associates’ that spawn upon it.

Madagascar hissing cockroaches (Gromphadorhina portentosa) demonstrated an increased probability of performing aggregation behavior at higher ambient relative humidity levels, indicating environmentally dependent plasticity in social grouping behavior.

ABSTRACT Ecosystem engineers modify habitats in many ways with consequences for other species. Aggregations of autogenic ecosystem engineers in lotic systems, such as unionid mussels, can increase habitat complexity and change water flow, affecting the diversity and abundance of other benthic species.

Global Warming Drives Phenological Shifts and Hinders Reproductive Success in a Temperate Octocoral
Climate change is advancing spring warming, yet its effects on marine foundation species remain unclear. We combined field observations and ex‐situ experiments to examine how advanced warming affects reproduction in the Mediterranean octocoral Paramuricea clavata.

Developing coral seeding devices and rapid deployment methods to scale up reef restoration
Current coral restoration methods are constrained by several factors, including low survival rates and high costs of coral production and deployment, making it difficult to address ecosystem‐wide coral declines. This study introduces a new two‐part coral seeding concept to efficiently settle, transport, and deploy coral spat.

A scalable “holdfast‐graft” method for reseeding threatened giant kelp forests
Abstract Introduction Global degradation of natural ecosystems demands urgent action to stem losses and, where possible, identify opportunities for scalable restoration. Giant kelp forests, formed by Macrocystis pyrifera, have declined by ~95% along eastern Tasmania in recent decades, with limited propagule supply constraining recovery.

Mechanism of CO2 and NH3 transport through human aquaporin 1: Evidence for parallel CO2 pathways
Abstract figure legend The figure illustrates the permeation pathways for CO2, NH3 and H2O through AQP1. The panel on the left, with the wild‐type protein under control conditions, CO2 moves through monomeric pores (2 of 4 shown) but predominantly via an alternate pathway (perhaps the central pore of the tetramer).

Crustacean shells are composed of chitin, which is bound to protein and minerals, along with other essential nutrients. These components are necessary for growth, immune response, the formation of reproductive structures, and the enhancement of sperm quality.
