In addition, OA can impair sensory performance by reducing the calcification of mineralized sensory structures. Some species of polyplacophoran mollusks (chitons) possess calcified visual organs (aragonitic lenses) that contribute to shadow defense responses triggered by sudden decreases in overhead illumination. Therefore, we hypothesized that OA affects this response by impairing GABA_A-mediated signaling or lens calcification. To test this hypothesis, we exposed chitons to “control” or acidified seawater and examined their shadow defensive behavior with and without gabazine, a GABA_A antagonist known to restore OA-induced GABAergic dysfunction. Although gabazine did not eliminate behavioral differences between the control and acidified groups, acidification reduced the response strength, suggesting that factors other than GABA_A-mediated signaling may contribute to the observed behavioral impairment. Microscopic observations revealed clouding of aragonitic lenses under acidic conditions, suggesting reduced optical performance. Overall, our results indicate that OA-induced degradation of calcified lens structures is associated with impaired shadow defense responses and may contribute to behavioral dysfunction. To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the first evidence that acidification-induced physical and optical changes in the visual anatomy can alter behavioral performance in animals.</p>","PeriodicalId":49883,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology-An Evolutionary Perspective","volume":"47 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/maec.70123","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149145629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The plainfin midshipman, <i>Porichthys notatus</i>, is a soniferous toadfish that relies on acoustic communication, with nest-guarding males emitting long, tonal “hums” to attract mates, and short “grunts” and “growls” to defend nests and offspring from competitors and predators in their intertidal breeding grounds. Although these three vocalizations are a critical part of this species' repertoire, we still know relatively little about how these fish modulate their vocal communication in the complex acoustic environment of the marine intertidal zone. In this study, we recorded plainfin midshipman vocalizations at two sites on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, in 2018 and 2020 to better understand how season and abiotic conditions influence the occurrence of hums, growls and grunts. Hum presence at both locations peaked in June, increased at night compared to daytime, and positively correlated with water depth (tidal height). Hums also fluctuated in accordance with the lunar cycle, with elevated call presence observed during the quarter moon and associated neap tide phases. Growls similarly varied with the lunar cycle, but less notably than hums while grunts did not clearly covary with the lunar cycle. Growls and grunts both increased with water depth and were produced at similar rates both during the day and night. Our study demonstrates that plainfin midshipman adjust their acoustic behavior to match natural environmental cycles, and that the lunar and tidal cycles are important factors affecting reproductive behavior in this vocal intertidal fish.</p>","PeriodicalId":49883,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology-An Evolutionary Perspective","volume":"47 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/maec.70120","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149145628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on these divergent patterns, we tested whether the population structure of grazing gastropods and barnacles differs between non-isolated and isolated boulders. We hypothesised that (i) grazing gastropods exhibit greater size, biomass, and abundance on isolated boulders, due to higher biofilm availability or competitive release; and (ii) barnacle density differs between boulder types, potentially due to the contrasting influence of biofilm on larval settlement or the accidental removal of newly settled larvae. Confirming previous observations, foraging of the isopod <i>L. exotica</i> was intense on non-isolated boulders (1.58 isopods · min^<b>−</b>1 · m^<b>−</b>2) and almost absent on isolated boulders (0.04 isopods · min^<b>−</b>1 · m^<b>−</b>2).

However, long-term changes in major benthic prey groups and their environmental drivers remain poorly quantified in tropical coastal systems. In this study, we analysed a 14-year dataset (2010–2023) from two key adjacent microhabitats along the west coast of India to assess long-term trends in benthic macroinvertebrate abundance and to identify the key physicochemical factors regulating benthic dynamics. Benthic macroinvertebrates were sampled systematically alongside water-quality parameters and sediment properties, and benthic macroinvertebrate abundance was modelled using a negative binomial framework to account for overdispersed count data. Results reveal a persistent long-term decline in overall benthic prey abundance. Water chemistry and sediment properties emerged as important drivers, with increasing chlorophyll a, pH, salinity and water phosphate exerting strong negative effects on prey abundance. Negative relationships between sediment textural variables and prey abundance also suggest a possible influence of sediment composition on benthic prey groups. Taxon-specific responses showed differences in sensitivity to environmental variation, with polychaetes and bivalves showing pronounced sensitivity to environmental stress, while some crustaceans exhibited greater tolerance to altered conditions. These findings demonstrate that interacting physicochemical stressors are influencing the abundance of major benthic prey groups over decadal timescales, with important implications for coastal food webs and the trophic support of winter migrant shorebirds.
