Prominent fin-contributed swimming in squid () supports efficient movement in seamount habitats.

Animal movements and the associated energy costs dictate an individual's scope for activity and habitat use. Yet measurements of movement often fail to quantify whole-body movement and their physiological costs. These challenges lead to data gaps connecting how movement behaviours and energy output interact to constrain species' biogeography.

Pile driving sound induces short-term behavioral changes in black sea bass (Centropristis striata): A field studya).

Offshore wind represents a renewable energy alternative as countries seek to limit the climate-altering effects of fossil fuels. The global investment in wind energy has generated substantial concern, as turbine construction emits high-intensity sounds and the associated impacts on marine fauna remain largely unknown. This in situ experimental study quantified behavioral changes of commercially important black sea bass (Centropristis striata) to nearshore pile driving using video observation.

Rapid detection of fish calls within diverse coral reef soundscapes using a convolutional neural networka).

The quantity of passive acoustic data collected in marine environments is rapidly expanding; however, the software developments required to meaningfully process large volumes of soundscape data have lagged behind. A significant bottleneck in the analysis of biological patterns in soundscape datasets is the human effort required to identify and annotate individual acoustic events, such as diverse and abundant fish sounds. This paper addresses this problem by training a YOLOv5 convolutional neural network (CNN) to automate the detection of tonal and pulsed fish calls in spectrogram data from five tropical coral reefs in the U.

Coral persistence despite marginal conditions in the Port of Miami.

Coral cover has declined worldwide due to anthropogenic stressors that manifest on both global and local scales. Coral communities that exist in extreme conditions can provide information on how these stressors influence ecosystem structure, with implications for their persistence under future conditions. The Port of Miami is located within an urbanized environment, with active coastal development, as well as commercial shipping and recreational boating activity.

Subsurface automated samplers for eDNA (SASe) for biological monitoring and research.

Sampling of environmental DNA (eDNA) in seawater is an increasingly common approach to non-invasively assess marine biodiversity, detect cryptic or invasive species, and monitor specific groups of organisms. Despite this remarkable utility, collection and filtration of eDNA samples in the field still requires considerable time and effort. Recent advancements in automated water samplers have standardized the eDNA collection process, allowing researchers to collect eDNA day or night, sample in locations that are difficult to access, and remove the need for highly trained personnel to perform sampling.
