Background: The transition from water to air is a key event in the evolution of many marine organisms to access new food sources, escape water hypoxia, and exploit the higher and temperature-independent oxygen concentration of air. Despite the import... Read More about Gill-associated bacteria are homogeneously selected in amphibious mangrove crabs to sustain host intertidal adaptation.

An integrative salt marsh conceptual framework for global comparisons (2023)
Journal Article
Yando, E. S., Jones, S. F., James, W. R., Colombano, D. D., Montemayor, D. I., Nolte, S., …Sergienko, L. (2023). An integrative salt marsh conceptual framework for global comparisons. Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 8(6), 830-849. https://doi.org/10.1002/lol2.10346

Salt marshes occur globally across climatic and coastal settings, providing key linkages between terrestrial and marine ecosystems. However, salt marsh science lacks a unifying conceptual framework; consequently, historically well-studied locations h...

Oxygen dynamics in marine productive ecosystems at ecologically relevant scales (2023)
Journal Article
Giomi, F., Barausse, A., Steckbauer, A., Daffonchio, D., Duarte, C. M., & Fusi, M. (2023). Oxygen dynamics in marine productive ecosystems at ecologically relevant scales. Nature Geoscience, 16, 560-566. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-023-01217-z

The decline of dissolved oxygen in the oceans could be detrimental to marine life and biogeochemical cycles. However, predicting future oxygen availability with models that mainly focus on temporal and spatial large-scale mean values could lead to in...

The microbial landscape in bioturbated mangrove sediment: A resource for promoting nature‐based solutions for mangroves (2023)
Journal Article
Booth, J. M., Fusi, M., Marasco, R., & Daffonchio, D. (2023). The microbial landscape in bioturbated mangrove sediment: A resource for promoting nature‐based solutions for mangroves. Microbial Biotechnology, 16(8), 1584-1602. https://doi.org/10.1111/1751-7915.14273

Globally, soils and sediments are affected by the bioturbation activities of benthic species. The consequences of these activities are particularly impactful in intertidal sediment, which is generally anoxic and nutrient-poor. Mangrove intertidal sed...
