Climate-driven changes are altering production and functioning of biotic assemblages in terrestrial aquatic environments. In temperate coastal waters, rising sea temperatures, warm water anomalies poleward shifts the distribution tropical herbivores have had a detrimental effect on algal forests. We develop generalized scenarios this form tropicalization its potential effects structure globally significant threatened seagrass ecosystems, through seagrasses herbivores. Initially, we expect...

Abstract Aim Mangrove forests are among the world's most important ecosystems but declining rapidly worldwide. Effective conservation management requires a better understanding of patterns and drivers gene flow across range spatial scales. Despite capacity for long‐distance propagule dispersal, field studies suggest that mangrove propagules tend not to disperse far from release point, which has implications impact habitat discontinuities on flow. We use comprehensive seascape genomics...

Maternal stress programs offspring disease in a sexually dimorphic manner with males often more adversely affected. Previous studies of maternal glucocorticoid exposure suggest male vulnerability may derive from placental alterations. The hexosamine signalling pathway and O-linked glycosylation (O-GlcNAcylation) are part an essential adaptive survival response healthy cells. key enzyme involved is O-linked-N-acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT), gene recently identified as sex-specific...

Better mitigation of anthropogenic stressors on marine ecosystems is urgently needed to address increasing biodiversity losses worldwide. We explore opportunities for stressor using whole-of-systems modelling ecological resilience, accounting complex interactions between stressors, their timing and duration, background environmental conditions biological processes. then search windows, times when minimally impact defined here as risk, recovery resistance. show 28 globally distributed...

Three dimensional multicell tumor spheroids (MCTS) provide an experimental model where the influence of microenvironmental conditions on protein expression can be determined. Sequential trypsin digestion HT29 colon carcinoma MCTS enabled segregation into four populations comprising proliferating cells from surface (SL), intermediate region (IR), nonproliferating hypoxic perinecrotic (PN), and a necrotic core (NC). Total was extracted each population subjected to iTRAQ-based quantitative...

Abstract Understanding spatial patterns of gene flow and genetic structure is essential for the conservation marine ecosystems. Contemporary ocean currents historical isolation due to Pleistocene sea level fluctuations have been predicted influence in populations. In Indo‐Australian Archipelago ( IAA ), world's hotspot biodiversity, seagrasses are a vital component but population information very limited. Here, we reconstructed phylogeography seagrass Thalassia hemprichii based on single...

In an era of increasingly multidisciplinary science, it is essential to identify the frontiers as well core inherently holistic discipline: ecosystem ecology. To achieve this, we led a series town hall events at multiple scientific-society meetings over two-year period followed by workshop with diverse set scientists review and expand on those outcomes. For society ~70 individuals were asked give short, provocative (the so-called, soapbox) presentations audience members (~250) filled out...

Abstract Physical modeling of canopy‐flow interactions has mostly employed rigid model vegetation, whereby the canopy geometry (i.e., its height and frontal area) is invariant easily quantified. Here, we demonstrate that embedding realism in form buoyancy flexibility, can profoundly impact structure flow rates vertical mixing wave‐dominated conditions. A laboratory investigation was undertaken with two types canopy: (1) canopies consisting wooden dowels, (2) flexible, buoyant plants designed...

Clonality is common in many aquatic plant species, including seagrasses, where populations are maintained through a combination of asexual and sexual reproduction. One measure used to describe the clonal structure richness. Clonal richness strongly dependent on biological characteristics how these interact with environment but can also reflect evolutionary scale processes especially at edge species ranges. However, little known about spatial patterns drivers tropical seagrasses. This study...
