Extreme climatic events can reshape the functional structure of ecological communities, potentially altering interactions and ecosystem functioning. While these shifts have been widely documented, evidence their persistence potential flow-on effects on following relaxation extreme remains limited. Here, we investigate changes in trait - encompassing dimensions resource use, thermal affinity, body size herbivorous fishes a temperate reef system that experienced an marine heatwave (MHW)...

Efficient and timely mapping monitoring of marine vegetation are becoming increasingly important as coastal habits have experienced significant declines in spatial extent due to climate change. Recent advances machine learning cloud computing, such Google Earth Engine, demonstrated that online analysis platforms make global-scale habitat possible. However, the ecosystems with remote sensing is challenging, we lack reliable, generalisable scalable indices NDVI assess spatiotemporal change...

Abstract Most platforms for collecting images to characterise marine benthic habitats involve a downward or forward‐facing field of view that is relatively constrained (~70°), covering small area benthos (downward ~1 m 2 , forward ~25 ). Here we propose the use four‐camera platform having wide combined (~280°), much greater (up 100 We also present stereo‐camera configuration has added benefit being able accurately measure sample and dimensions biota. The design proposed robust self‐righting,...

Coastal shelf ecosystems are essential for the productivity of global fisheries and provide a range ecosystem services. Cost effective methods collecting information on habitats species needed to effectively monitor manage these key across large spatial scales. Demersal fish assemblages can be suitable indicators understanding effects human activity in coastal including implementation no-take zones management strategies. In this study we compare demersal assemblage body-size distribution...

ABSTRACT There is an increasing interest in environmental DNA (eDNA) as a method to survey marine biota, enhancing traditional methods, and need ground truth eDNA‐based interpretations with visual surveys understand biases both the eDNA datasets. We designed tested rapidly deployable, robust pairing water sampling for collection stereo‐video imagery, comparing inferred fish assemblages interspersed baited remote underwater video (stereo‐BRUV) samples. The system capable of collecting...
