Biological structures as a source of habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity on the deep ocean margins

Lene Buhl‐Mortensen, Ann Vanreusel, Andrew J. Gooday et al. · 22 Feb 2010

Abstract Biological structures exert a major influence on species diversity at both local and regional scales on deep continental margins. Some organisms use other species as substrates for attachment, shelter, feeding or parasitism, but there may also be mutual benefits from the association. Here, we highlight the structural attributes and biotic effects of the habitats…

Seagrasses: Biology, Ecology and Conservation

John C. Ogden · 21 Nov 2006

A.W.D. Larkum, R.J. Orth & C.M. Duarte ( Eds ) Springer , The Netherlands , 2006 ; 691 pp . ISBN-10 1-4020-2942-X . Hardback: €95.23 , ISBN-10 1-4020-2983-7 ( e-book ). ‘Elephants eat seagrass.’ This startling, but dubious message from a colleague in Southeast Asia came thumping into my office in 1976 at the West…

Sandy beach ecosystems: key features, sampling issues, management challenges and climate change impacts

Thomas A. Schlacher, David S. Schoeman, Jenifer E. Dugan et al. · 3 Jun 2008

Abstract Escalating pressures caused by the combined effects of population growth, demographic shifts, economic development and global climate change pose unprecedented threats to sandy beach ecosystems worldwide. Conservation of beaches as functional ecosystems and protection of their unique biodiversity requires management interventions that not only mitigate threats to physical properties of sandy shores, but also…

Fishing‐induced evolution of growth: concepts, mechanisms and the empirical evidence

Katja Enberg, Christian Jørgensen, Erin S. Dunlop et al. · 13 Jun 2011

Abstract The interest in fishing‐induced life‐history evolution has been growing in the last decade, in part because of the increasing number of studies suggesting evolutionary changes in life‐history traits, and the potential ecological and economic consequences these changes may have. Among the traits that could evolve in response to fishing, growth has lately received attention.…

Ecological effects of coastal armoring on sandy beaches

Jenifer E. Dugan, David M. Hubbard, Iván F. Rodil et al. · 3 Jun 2008

Abstract Use of coastal armoring is expected to escalate in response to the combination of expanding human populations, beach erosion, and sea level rise along the coasts. To provide a conceptual framework, we developed hypotheses concerning the ecological effects of beach habitat loss associated with coastal armoring. As beaches narrow in response to armoring, dry…

Marine Ecology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Marine Ecology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Marine Ecology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Marine Ecology use?
Marine Ecology uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Marine Ecology 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Marine Ecology?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Marine Ecology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Marine Ecology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Marine Ecology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Marine Ecology?
Marine Ecology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Marine Ecology template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Marine Ecology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Marine Ecology template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Marine Ecology template cost?
You can start writing in the Marine Ecology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Marine Ecology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
