of organic matter from the sea. These cross‐ecosystem fluxes often comprise uprooted …

Marine litter can end up deposited on sandy beaches and become entangled in the natural
wrack, threatening its roles in ecosystems. However, it is currently unknown whether the …

The Antarctic rocky coasts are mainly colonized by extensive seaweed communities, which
play key roles as food resource, habitat, and refuge for many benthic and pelagic organisms …

Tropical ocean-exposed sandy beaches have an essential ecological function for marine
fish species, which use these turbulent areas as nurseries. These habitats are characterized …

The medusae of cubozoan jellyfishes have sophisticated behaviours and are strong
swimmers. Therefore, they have the potential to influence their distribution and connectivity …

The supply and fate of wrack (dead organic matter) is a critical determinant of the structure
