Four air breathing species were monitored over 18 months across three beaches, including two predators (ghost crab <em>Ocypode quadrata</em> and tiger beetle <em>Cylindera nivea</em>) and two prey (sandhopper <em>Atlantorchestoidea brasiliensis</em> and golden ladybug <em>Phaleria testacea</em>).

Environmental variables usually accounted for less than 16 % of the variation in predator and prey abundance over time according to Generalized Mixed-Effects Models (GMEMs). Importantly, LVMs demonstrated significant reciprocal or top-down effects between predators and prey across all beaches. The smaller the influence of environmental variables, the stronger biotic control.

Understanding how reef fishes use macroalgal habitats is critical for appreciating their importance in tropical seascapes. We investigated which components of natural macroalgal habitats are selectively used by reef fishes in natural macroalgal beds across three sites on an inshore reef on Orpheus Island, Great Barrier Reef. We quantified benthic composition and feeding behaviour of reef fishes within 1 m² quadrats across the three sites, with feeding behaviour quantification based on remote underwater video. Small bodied and/or juvenile herbivorous fish dominated the foraging assemblage, particularly juvenile <em>Siganus doliatus</em> and parrotfishes. Notably, seven of the eight most commonly observed fish taxa exhibited strong and consistent positive feeding electivity for canopy macroalgae over all other microhabitats (i.e., understorey algae, turfs and sand). This clear pattern of selective feeding highlights the important functional role of canopy macroalgae in structuring reef trophic interactions and indicates non-random microhabitat use by foraging fishes. In contrast, multivariate and univariate analyses indicated that benthic composition and macroalgal structure were poor predictors of feeding rates of the dominant feeding fishes. These results indicate that although small-bodied fishes selectively targeted macroalgal canopies, feeding rates were not simply limited by the availability and physical structure, inviting further investigation of additional ecological drivers. Our findings underscore the importance of macroalgal habitats in tropical seascapes and challenge the perception that they are ecologically impoverished or merely symptomatic of degradation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18204,"journal":{"name":"Marine environmental research","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 107490"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145046214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these concerns, this study investigated the short-term adaptive effects of FLX at varying concentrations (0.3, 3, 30 μg/L) on the intertidal sea urchin <em>Heliocidaris crassispina</em>, a species critical to the intertidal ecosystem. The data reveal that there was a dose-dependent increase in the sea urchins’ reaction time to environmental threats. Despite the absence of a substantial alteration in the overall food consumption, the foraging time of the three groups of sea urchins exposed to varying degrees of FLX exhibited an increase, while the food consumption demonstrated a decrease, and the activities of pepsin and lipase in the intestine exhibited an increase. Additionally, FLX interfered with the normal gonadal development cycle and induced higher rates of anomaly and asymmetry in offspring. These findings indicate that short-term exposure to FLX may have adverse effects on the anti-predation, feeding and reproduction of sea urchins, providing a novel insight into the ecological impact of antidepressant pollution in intertidal ecosystems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18204,"journal":{"name":"Marine environmental research","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 107484"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144913467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We surveyed four large rubble areas in BNP, including one previously restored site, to assess their potential for natural regeneration. At each site, we quantified rubble bed and fragment features (i.e., slope angle, bed thickness, fragment morphometrics and stability, coral recruitment) and characterized the rubble binding community. We then analysed which biophysical factors drive rubble stability, binding prevalence, and coral recruit abundance. Despite differences among sites in other factors, the rubble stability likeliood was consistently low (&lt;10 %), even at the site where restoration was attempted. Rubble binding likelihoods ranged from 7 to 25 %, with crustose coralline algae being the dominant binding agent across all sites. All rubble was relatively small (∼10 cm), but longer rubble fragments were associated with greater stability, binding, and coral recruit abundance. Thicker rubble beds also drove increased binding, while steeper slopes corresponded with lower recruit abundance. Overall, natural coral recovery remains limited (0.6–2.6 % coral cover) despite the passage of 30 years since blast fishing ceased, and the restoration attempt. Our findings underscore the importance of rubble morphometrics and the biophysical environment in shaping reef recovery potential.
