MEPS has been long established as the leading journal in marine ecology. It is known for its high-quality.

Two closely related snapper species on the Great Barrier Reef show differences in occurrence across reef flats and reef slopes. What causes differences between species habitat use? This study shows evidence that snapper which inhabit reef flats have greater thermal plasticity and physiological tolerances than species found on reef slopes.

How do male green turtles behave during and after breeding? Satellite tracking at Fernando de Noronha (Brazil) revealed two contrasting strategies: some males remain residents to breeding grounds, while others migrate long distances to mainland foraging areas. These strategies highlight distinct energy trade-offs and inform conservation planning across habitats.

How does upwelling reshape reef food webs? 🌊🐟In subtropical reefs, we show that upwelling creates transient trophic opportunities, driving omnivorous damselfish to exploit pelagic plankton while maintaining benthic feeding. This flexibility enhances trophic connectivity and food-web stability in dynamic reef systems.

New synthesis shows phenotypic plasticity in corals (epigenetic and metabolic) and plasticity in the keystone urchin Diadema antillarum interactively determine Caribbean reef trajectories. Plasticity buffers stress but cannot substitute for functional herbivory; restoring urchins and reducing local stressors are essential to prevent macroalgal phase-shifts. bit.ly/meps15139

Rising ocean temperatures threaten serpulid tube worms, key benthic ecosystem engineers. Using heated panels in southern New Zealand, we show that warming strongly reduces their abundance, recruitment, survival, cover, and growth, particularly under +2 °C, providing the first in-situ experimental assessment of climate change impacts on these critical communities.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) has been used to examine the distribution of the Irukandji jellyfish Malo bella along Western Australia’s Ningaloo Coast, finding:
• Malo bella was detected more frequently offshore than nearshore
• Detections indicated a longer Irukandji season than expected
• eDNA is a powerful tool for monitoring elusive, hazardous jellyfish.

Seagrass meadows replaced by drifting perennial algae ≠ biodiversity loss. Mats of Furcellaria and Fucus support benthic species richness and abundance at a similar level as seagrass meadows, despite lower oxygen concentrations.

What drives two closely related seaweeds to occupy different spaces on the same reef? This study shows that two Lobophora species found on the same dead coral substrate thrive under distinctly different microenvironmental conditions, offering fresh insight into spatial distribution and microhabitat use in coral reef ecosystems.

Species traits demonstrate how macroalgal decline impacts temperate reef function. Integrating trait data across macroalgae and sessile invertebrates offers clearer insight into reef dynamics demonstrating utility of a unified epibenthic traits.
