Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Functional feeding groups (FFGs) are key components sustaining ecosystem functioning in riverine ecosystems. In this study, we conducted an airborne imaging spectroscopy campaign and a systematic environmental DNA (eDNA) river water sampling in a 740‐km2 mountainous catchment, combined with light detection and ranging (LiDAR) point clouds, to obtain ...

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Thermal drone observations capture fine‐scale population decline of short‐tailed shearwaters
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Researchers used thermal drone technology to monitor short‐tailed shearwater colonies in Tasmania from 2019 to 2024, discovering a concerning 27% decline in chick numbers during this period. The study estimates that the global population of these seabirds has dropped dramatically by 41% since 1985, falling from 23 million to approximately 13.5 million ...

Coral reef fish visual adaptations to a changing world
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coral reef ecosystems show fluctuations in their prevailing light environment in response to both regular (e.g. between seasons) and more prevalent stochastic events (e.g. human‐induced sediment runoff).

Warming strengthens food web effects of predator phenotypic variation
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Intraspecific variation modifies ecological processes and ecosystem functioning. Still, we know relatively little of how the nature and strength of ecosystem effects caused by intraspecific variation may interact with climate change.
