A Pleistocene legacy structures variation in modern seagrass ecosystems

Stewart T. Schultz, Masahiro Nakaoka, Britas Klemens Eriksson, Mary I. O’Connor et autres

Distribution of Earth's biomes is structured by the match between climate and plant traits, which in turn shape associated communities and ecosystem processes and services. However, that climate-trait match can be disrupted by historical events, with lasting ecosystem impacts. As Earth's environment …

Multi‐metric complexity drives ecological succession on blue‐green infrastructure across scales

Franz Bauer, Mick E. Hanley, Antony M. Knights, John N. Griffin et autres

Abstract Seawall construction to protect coastlines from the impacts of climate change has resulted in the loss of marine biodiversity and ecosystem services globally. These negative impacts have been associated with reductions in habitat complexity, both topographic and biogenic. In response, habitat …

Wave overtopping on eco-engineered seawalls: Does biodiversity enhancement conflict with coastal protection?

Franz Bauer, Antony M. Knights, Louise B. Firth, John N. Griffin et autres

Topographic complexity is increasingly added to coastal infrastructure to enhance biodiversity and environmental sustainability, but potential trade-offs with coastal protection services due to altered wave dissipation remain underexplored. Using a hydrodynamic flume, we investigated how three commercially available, eco-engineered panel topographies ('Living …

Integrating functional and phylogenetic perspectives reveals new priorities for bird and mammal conservation

Lucy Somekh, John N. Griffin, Catalina Pimiento, William D. Pearse

Abstract Finite resources dictate that conservation biologists must prioritise some species over others. Conservation metrics, such as EDGE (Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered; EDGE1) and FUSE (Functionally Unique, Specialised and Endangered), make prioritisation based on species’ evolutionary or functional distinctiveness, respectively, and …

Topographic and biogenic complexity drive the spatio-temporal formation of microclimate on intertidal eco-engineered seawalls

Franz Bauer, Louise B. Firth, Antony M. Knights, John N. Griffin et autres

Coastal substratum topography shapes microhabitat conditions both directly, by modulating abiotic environmental factors, and indirectly, by influencing the establishment of topography-associated biota. Consequently, structural differences between natural rocky shores and modern engineered coastal infrastructure are expected to alter microhabitat formation in urban …

MON-208 The Metabolic Syndrome of Menopause: The Role of Estrogen in an Interconnected Disease State

John N. Griffin, Rocio Salas-Whalen, Mary Claire Haver

Abstract Disclosure: K.C. Haver: None. J.N. Griffin: None. Background: Menopause is a universal and inevitable transition characterized by a sharp decline in estrogen levels. The concept of the Metabolic Syndrome of Menopause (MSM) is introduced to encapsulate the cluster of metabolic dysfunctions—including …

Counteracting Cascades Challenge the Heterogeneity—Stability Relationship

Jordi Solà, Tom P. Fairchild, M. Taylor Perkins, James C. Bull et autres

Spatial environmental heterogeneity is widely assumed to enhance ecological stability by promoting refugia, biodiversity and asynchrony. Yet, we lack field experiments testing this fundamental relationship and its underlying mechanisms in naturally assembled multitrophic systems. To address this gap, we monitored experimental substrates …

Lost Landscapes of Plymouth: Historical Land Reclamation and Coastal Urbanisation Continue to Shape Britain's Ocean City

Louise B. Firth, Tiffany Chai, Haizqal Kamaruzzaman, Joseph Panes et autres

195 Coastal cities worldwide face increasing vulnerability to erosion, storm damage, flooding and sea level rise. Many are partially situated on reclaimed land, and the transformation of coastal and estuarine habitats into hard infrastructure has led to significant losses of vital wetlands …

Resolving the context-dependency of local heterogeneity–diversity relationships across rocky reefs worldwide

Jordi Solà, John N. Griffin

Environmental heterogeneity is widely thought to promote biodiversity, yet its variable effects limit its predictive power. This variability can be better understood by considering key mediating factors: different forms of local heterogeneity, organismal groups and their associated traits, and the broader environmental …

Thermal patterns on eco-engineered coastal infrastructure depend on topographic complexity and spatial scale

Franz Bauer, Antony M. Knights, Mick E. Hanley, John N. Griffin et autres

Topographic complexity is a key driver of microhabitat formation, due to its critical role in providing refugia for organisms from environmental stressors. On marine infrastructure, low topographic complexity can lead to the homogenisation of associated thermal microclimates (‘thermal habitat complexity’), with potential …
