ABSTRACT Rhodolith beds are biogenic marine habitats formed by aggregations of free‐living crustose coralline algae. New descriptions rhodolith fill the gaps in our understanding global distribution and ecological significance these understudied habitats. We provide first characterisation a network associated with coral reefs tropical central Pacific. surveyed shallow eastern reef flat Palmyra Atoll to evaluate spatial extent biodiversity habitat relative adjacent reefs. mapped 15 discrete...
Abstract Seagrass ecosystems are important carbon dioxide sinks that can sequester for centuries as organic matter in sediment. They also a major source of methane, potent greenhouse gas, which limits their sink capacity. However, data lacking on methane emission dynamics. Here, we conduct one-year survey and concentrations air-sea fluxes Red Sea seagrass, mudflat, coral backreef ecosystems. All were sources dioxide. Methane lowest the reef lagoon. We suggest lagoons may be globally gases....
The Red Sea is a globally significant hotspot of coral reef biodiversity and one the earliest study sites for modern research. Reef science in this basin has been summarized three review papers, each covering different aspects available research broad terms. To build on these earlier works, greatly expanding both library publications reviewed resolution spatial, temporal thematic analyses, an updated literature was conducted, comprising 1,658 focused Sea. Here, precise location data from...
The ability to identify individual animals can provide valuable insights into the behaviour, life history, survivorship, and demographics of wild populations. Photo-identification (photo-ID) uses unique natural markings individuals be effective for scalable non-invasive research on marine fauna. successful application photo-ID requires that chosen distinguishing are persist over time. In this study, we validate use dorsal spot patterns identifying blue-spotted ribbontail rays (Taeniura...
Abstract Ocean warming is leading to more frequent coral bleaching events. However, cold stress can also induce in corals. Here, we report observations of a boreal winter event January 2020 the central Red Sea, mainly within population branching Stylophora pistillata on an offshore reef flat. Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) rarely fall below 24°C this region, but data loggers deployed several nearby flats recorded overnight seawater as low 18°C just 3 days before observations. The coincided...
The invasion by Halyomorpha halys (Stål) and an increasing abundance of native Pentatomidae pose a threat to soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill, production in northern states. A risk assessment framework was used provide initial the affecting soybean caged field study performed over two years assess response H. feeding. Cages placed R4 were infested with 0, 1, 2, 4, or 8 fourth-instar nymphs per 0.3 row-m, insects allowed feed for 15 16 days. Feeding on affected yield components, maturity,...
Pentatomidae have been relatively poorly documented in Minnesota. Based on literature and museum records, an annotated checklist of the Minnesota was created. State-level county-level records for distribution each species North America are provided. Fifty-one (12 Asopinae, 37 Pentatominae, 2 Podopinae) recorded Of this total, 15 newly state. Knowledge fauna will be important providing baseline data monitoring potential shifts resulting from invasions exotic Pentatomidae. Furthermore, a list...
Abstract Symbiotic relationships contribute considerably to the high biodiversity found on coral reefs. Coral-dwelling gall crabs (Cryptochiridae) represent a prime example of coral-associated invertebrates that exhibit obligate with their host. The induction skeletal modification in coral, used as dwelling by crab, is most remarkable aspect this close association. Here we examined Hapalocarcinus marsupialisStimpson, 1859, collected from Pocillopora and Stylophora corals Saudi Arabian Red...
Demographic analyses offer insight into the state of a population. Here, we surveyed different reef flat zones (exposed, midreef and sheltered) six reefs over cross-shelf gradient to characterize population structure Stylophora pistillata, coral species which dominates flats in central Red Sea. Phototransects were conducted at each zone, density S. planar area colony, occurrence partial mortality calculated using program ImageJ. Each colony was also assigned color morph (yellow, purple or...
Abstract The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), poses a new threat to soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill (Fabaceae), production in the north central USA . As H continues spread and increase abundance region, interaction between management tactics deployed for other pests must be determined. Currently, soybean aphid, A phis glycines M atsumura ( emiptera: phididae), is most abundant damaging insect pest of region. Aphid‐resistant mainly with Rag1...
Stink bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) that occur in Minnesota wheat have received little attention. Due to the invasion of Halyomorpha halys (Stål) and increasing abundance native stink region, a 2-yr statewide survey season-long were conducted characterize species composition, abundance, seasonal dynamics Pentatomidae wheat. Surveys performed using sweep-net sampling fields. Fourteen (thirteen herbivorous one predatory) detected across both surveys. The recent invader, H. , was...
Ocean warming is the greatest threat to coral reefs, prompting a need accurately monitor in situ temperatures. Advancements sensing technologies have led proliferation of temperature loggers being deployed globally. However, appropriate deployment loggers–essential for measurement accuracy an ecosystem where changes 1ºC can cause widespread mortality–is often overlooked. For example, direct sunlight are known overestimate temperature, but prevalence shading unknown. Here, we survey recent...

Use of crop inputs, including prophylactic application insecticides, has increased in soybean production. A liquid fertilizer-ready formulation the insecticide bifenthrin was recently labeled for in-furrow use with a starter fertilizer on soybean. An experiment conducted at six sites (three Minnesota and three Ohio) 2013 two (Minnesota) 2014 to evaluate effects applications (bifenthrin) 2-6-16 (N-P-K) alone combination. Across site-years where insect injury recorded, decreased percentage...
This study aimed to evaluate insecticides for management of adults the grape colaspis in Minnesota soybean. The was conducted at University Research, Outreach and Education Park near Rosemount, Minnesota. On 24 Jun 2015, soybean seeds (variety: P19T01R) were sown 3.81 cm deep a seeding rate 508,970 seeds/ha. spacing between rows 17 cm. Plots arranged randomized complete block design with five replications three treatments (Table 1). 3.05 m wide by 9.14 m long …
This experiment was part of an effort to evaluate materials for management SBA in Minnesota. The conducted at the University Minnesota Outreach, Research and Education Park near Rosemount, MN. On 1 May 2015, soybean seed (variety: Legend Seed LS20R20N) sown 3.81 cm deep a seeding rate 296,400 seeds/ha. Spacing between rows 0.76 m.
