Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1735-1759, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Neighboring Gulf Killifish (Fundulus grandis) Populations Differ in Their Plastic and Genetic Responses to Salinity Fluctuations

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Coastal development can alter the salinity fluctuations experienced by tidal creek systems. Understanding how resident organisms, such as the Gulf killifish, respond to these changes is critical, as development along the coastline is projected to triple in the coming decades.

Dune grass production is positively associated with marine nutrient subsidies on US Central Atlantic coast foredunes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Resource subsidies, or the flow of energy across ecosystem boundaries, can influence community structure and function and act as important nutrient sources to less productive ecosystems, particularly in marine and coastal zones. Coastal dunes, connected to the nearshore through sandy beaches, likely depend on the delivery of marine subsidies ...

Mechanistic Insights and Performance Advancements in Flow Capacitive Deionisation for Sustainable Energy Conversion

open access: yesElectrochemical Science Advances, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Flow capacitive deionisation is an advanced electrochemical technology for water purification and energy‐related applications. It represents a viable alternative to conventional desalination methods due to its low operating voltage, continuous electrode regeneration, and stable performance under moderate‐to‐high salinity conditions. The use of

Strong spatial partitioning of mesozooplankton in a dynamic frontal zone shapes trophic transfer efficiency

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Frontal zones are often areas of increased biological productivity and have hydrographic gradients on short spatial scales. The small scale of gradients poses a challenge in identifying differences in zooplankton community structure and trophic transfer efficiency through the pelagic food web.

Spatial variability of hydrodynamics in oyster reefs: Investigating the impact of canopy density on mean and turbulent flows

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This field study investigated how oyster canopy density modulates hydrodynamics of natural intertidal oyster reef. High‐resolution velocity measurements were taken simultaneously within and above oyster canopies of variable density (solid volume fractions, Ø=$$ \mathrm{\O}= $$ 0.04–0.21).

Shifts in subsurface oxygen transport and consumption patterns in a restored coastal flood plain over five years

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Groundwater dissolved oxygen (DO) variability in coastal systems remains poorly understood despite its importance for biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem modeling. This study investigates temporal variability in groundwater DO and its hydro‐climatic drivers across timescales (hourly to seasonal) in a coastal floodplain at Beaver Creek ...

The economics of tidal stream energy: a spatial approach

open access: yes, 2017
So far, the economic assessments of tidal stream energy have been conducted from a sectorial, spatially dimensionless point of view; or in other words, on the basis of mean values obtained as representative of the average across the tidal industry.

Increasing Frequency of Coastal Erosion Indicated by a Hindcast Model of Storm‐Driven Forcing Calibrated With Beach Stratigraphy

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Beach stratigraphy at North Beach, Sandy Hook, New Jersey is used to calibrate a model of coastal erosion, establish a model‐based erosion threshold, and evaluate how often threshold conditions have been exceeded since 1979 through hindcast analysis.
