Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Geographic Patterns of Head Morphology in Syngnathus typhle Across Marine Regions

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Morphometric analysis of Syngnathus typhle head shape shows distinct geographic patterns across Baltic, North, Atlantic, and Mediterranean marine regions, driven by variation in snout length, head depth, and eye position. Findings provide a non‐invasive baseline for conservation monitoring.

Combined Phosphorus and Potassium Starvation Upregulates Sodium Accumulation by HKT1;1 in Tomato Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Na+ can substitute K+ under K+ deficiency conditions, which is denominated as beneficial Na+. Despite its relevance at the physiological level and its interest in agriculture, the mechanisms allowing its uptake and use by plants remain unclear.

Kordia zosterae sp. nov., isolated from the seaweed, Zostera marina

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2017
A Gram-stain-negative, gliding and rod shaped bacterium, designated strain ZO2-23T was isolated from a seaweed sample collected from the West Sea, Republic of Korea. Cells are catalase-negative and oxidase-positive. Neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ZO2-23T forms an independent lineage within the ...

Seasonal Patterns and Environmental Drivers of Seagrass (Zostera muelleri) Flowering in Aotearoa New Zealand: Implications for Seed‐Based Restoration

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.
Seagrass flowering underpins seed‐based restoration and is governed by the interaction of multiple abiotic and biotic drivers operating across a range of temporal and spatial scales. In New Zealand/Aotearoa, flowering was historically considered rare, but emerging evidence indicates it is more widespread than previously recognised, creating new ...

Connecting the distribution and diversification of marine plants

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Integration of the evolutionary history with distribution of extant species is necessary to explain present‐day diversity, particularly for ‘foundation' species, such as seagrasses, which create habitats of socioecological relevance. Here, we resolved if varying evolutionary history of seagrass families has imprinted the distribution ranges of extant ...

Testing habitat suitability for seagrass restoration to inform future efforts in southwestern Australia

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Combining habitat suitability modelling with field‐based habitat assessment provides more precise inputs for mapping seagrass restoration suitability across regions and helps uncover the key drivers of restoration outcomes. This approach can greatly improve confidence in identifying the most suitable areas to maximise success in larger scale ...

Vegetation Increases CH4 Emissions and Methanotroph Diversity in Marine Sediments

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Seagrass meadows enhance carbon burial but also increase methane (CH4) emissions from marine sediments. The presence of seagrass modifies sediment properties, creating carbon‐rich environments characterized by higher carbon accumulation and CO2 fluxes, which stimulate CH4 production and lead to higher emissions.
