A central goal in ecology is to understand the mechanisms shaping community assembly at different spatial and temporal scales. This knowledge is crucial for improving conservation strategies, but remains limited for ephemeral habitats. We investigated the contribution of environmental, that is, physical and chemical microhabitat properties, and spatial factors in shaping taxonomic and functional β‐diversity of macroinvertebrat...

The Southern Ocean (SO) is a critical driver of global wave dynamics, generating long-period swells that propagate vast distances and significantly impact far distant coastal regions, including the Indian coastal regions. Climate change has intensified westerly winds and altered storm tracks in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in higher wave heights and longer periods, which in turn increase the risk to coastal regions.​ How...
