Seagrasses are foundation species that provide essential ecological services to coastal ecosystems, yet they are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic and climate-driven stressors. This study uses the SeagrassNet global monitoring protocol to assess environmental and biological indicators of seagrass condition at two back-reef sites in Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve, Belize, the largest coral atoll in the Mesoamerican Barrie...
While significant progress has been made to characterize life history patterns, movement ecology, and regional estimates of abundance of white sharks ( Carcharodon carcharias ) in the Western North Atlantic (WNA), patterns of spatial distribution remain relatively unknown in the northern Gulf of Maine. In this study, we utilize data collected from multiple acoustic telemetry projects from 2012-2023 to assess the spatiotemporal...
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease of unknown etiology characterized by widespread aggregation of the protein alpha-synuclein in neurons and glia. Its orphan status, biological relationship to Parkinson’s disease (PD), and rapid progression have sparked interest in drug development. One significant obstacle to therapeutics is disease heterogeneity. Here, we share our process of developing a clin...
Sea surface temperature (SST) has increased worldwide since the beginning of the 20th century, a trend which is expected to continue. Changes in SST can have significant impacts on marine biota, including population-level shifts and alterations in community structure and diversity, and changes in the timing of ecosystem events. Seagrasses are a group of foundation species that grow in shallow coastal and estuarine systems, whe...
Resource selection functions (RSFs) have been widely applied to animal tracking data to examine relative habitat selection and to help guide management and conservation strategies. While readily used in terrestrial ecology, RSFs have yet to be extensively used within marine systems. As acoustic telemetry continues to be a pervasive approach within marine environments, incorporation of RSFs can provide new insights to help prio...
Factors Influencing Carbon Stocks and Accumulation Rates in Eelgrass Meadows Across New England, USANARA Subscribed
Increasing the protection of coastal vegetated ecosystems has been suggested as one strategy to compensate for increasing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in the atmosphere as the capacity of these habitats to sequester and store carbon exceeds that of terrestrial habitats. Seagrasses are a group of foundation species that grow in shallow coastal and estuarine systems and have an exceptional ability to sequester and store large quantiti...
A multi‐decade time series of kelp forest community structure at San Nicolas Island, California (USA)NARA Subscribed
San Nicolas Island is surrounded by broad areas of shallow subtidal habitat, characterized by dynamic kelp forest communities that undergo dramatic and abrupt shifts in community composition. Although these reefs are fished, the physical isolation of the island means that they receive less impact from human activities than most reefs in Southern California, making San Nicolas an ideal place to evaluate alternative theories abo...
