Connectivity modelling is commonly utilised for the spatial planning of marine protected areas and, more recently, for the prioritisation of restoration interventions. Here, we conducted field experiments to validate the spatial patterns and rates of larval arrival as simulated by a high-resolution connectivity model (∼300 m resolution), using complementary spatial and temporal sampling of coral larvae and newly settled recruits around a cluster of offshore coral reefs. At the within-reef scale, Lagrangian dispersal modelling demonstrated only a fair performance at predicting observed spatial patterns of larval arrival and settlement, at best. However, at the reef cluster level, hydrodynamically-driven interannual variations in larval supply were well correlated with observed interannual variations. Combined, the model results resolve empirical observations for the temporal (inter-annual) and spatial scales relevant to meta-population dynamics (1–10s of km's). At the finer spatial scales of resolution (&gt;1/10 ha to &lt;10 ha), relevant to current restoration interventions, skill at predicting larval density is poor whilst skill at predicting larval settlement is fair.

The coastal zone of the Baltic Sea, shaped by extreme seasonality, strong bentho-pelagic coupling, and intense human use, represents a unique model system to study these interactions under accelerating climate change. While extensive research has been conducted on warming, eutrophication, and large scale hypoxia in the region, critical gaps remain in understanding how physical forcing, sediment type, and benthic–pelagic coupling control nutrient turnover, primary production, seed and egg bank dynamics, and the emission of climate-relevant gases under rapidly changing dynamic conditions. The Baltic Sea, with 26 % of its area shallower than 15 m, harbor mostly sandy sediments along the southern coast, but the coastal nutrient filter remains poorly investigated because element fluxes are mostly controlled by advection. Sediments are home for phytoplankton resting stages, but the contribution of seed germination to the development of phytoplankton blooms is unknown. The resting eggs of zooplankton are also deposited in the sediment, but the timing of zooplankton and fish development in spring and the impact of progressive warming are poorly understood. Decreases in salinity strongly influence macrobenthos in the Baltic Sea, whereas increased eutrophication favors the growth of opportunistic species. Finally, coastal darkening is discussed, as it affects marine life in ways that are difficult to assess. Future studies of coastal zones will benefit from technical innovations like mooring systems that transmits data immediately to the shore and uses drones to aid in sampling along coastlines. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the state and functioning of the Baltic coastal zone, highlighting novel insights into the role of permeable sandy sediments as nutrient cycling hotspots. We identify key uncertainties arising from the high spatio-temporal variability of these systems, which limit the predictive capacity of existing models. Only by combining novel approaches we can improve projections of climate-change impacts, and provide a robust scientific basis for the management and protection of vulnerable coastal ecosystems. Accordingly, the measures that will enable stakeholders and politicians to improve the protection of coastal areas remain to be developed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50497,"journal":{"name":"Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science","volume":"326 ","pages":"Article 109504"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144919833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The road was monitored from August 2021 to January 2024 over a stretch of approximately 8 km. The search for animals on the road was conducted at night using a vehicle traveling at ∼20 km/h. Each animal encounter was georeferenced to measure satellite-based variables including the level of urbanization, artificial light, shoreline tree coverage, beach width, coastline retreat tendency, tide range, air temperature, precipitation, and wave height.

According to the Generalized Linear Model with binomial distribution, the risk of ghost crabs being road-killed was significantly higher in areas more affected by erosion, and during storm wave events. These results provide evidence that coastal roadkills are intensified by the loss of refuge habitats, a key characteristic of the coastal squeeze phenomenon. To minimize wildlife collisions on coastal roads, it is recommended to close roads during storms mainly in areas affected by erosion, build wildlife crossings, install signs indicating the presence of fauna, and implement public awareness programs in the region.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50497,"journal":{"name":"Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science","volume":"325 ","pages":"Article 109507"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144886370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the role of estuaries in the reproductive events of diadromous fish remains largely unknown. To address this gap, this study focused on an amphidromous (a diadromy subtype) goby species, <em>Rhinogobius similis</em>, which frequently spawns in estuaries in Japan, although its primary adult habitat appears to be in freshwater. This study investigated the degree of dependence on estuaries as spawning grounds and the effects of salinity on reproductive physiology in this species through field surveys and laboratory experiments. Otolith microchemical analysis combined with the dynamic time warping method revealed that otoliths of 29 out of 40 reproductive adults collected from an estuary (northern Kyushu, Japan) exhibited consistently low strontium/calcium (Sr/Ca) ratios throughout their juvenile and adult stages, suggesting that these individuals spent most of their time in freshwater prior to collection. A laboratory rearing experiment showed that testis development was greater in brackish water condition (salinity 10) than in freshwater, with no significant effect on ovary development. Consistently, testis development of the reproductive adults from the river estuary was marginally positively correlated with otolith Sr/Ca ratios (i.e., the degree of estuarine dependence). These results suggest that salinity partly influences gonadal development in <em>R. similis</em>. Overall, the series of surveys and experiments conducted in this study highlight the importance of estuaries as habitats for sexual maturation and spawning in this amphidromous goby species.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50497,"journal":{"name":"Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science","volume":"326 ","pages":"Article 109499"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144893373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
