       'Characterizing tidal circulation at a high spatiotemporal resolution is essential for understanding submesoscale transport and mixing in marine protected areas (MPAs). This study presents the first application of high-frequency Coastal Acoustic Tomography (CAT) to synoptically resolve transient eddy-like structures at 2–3 km scales in an open-island coastal environment. A six-station CAT array deployed off Nanji Island, China, reconstructed depth-averaged currents every 3 min at ∼1.5 km resolution over a ∼26-hr observation period. CAT velocities closely matched independent Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurements (R > 0.95; RMSE < 0.09 m s−1), confirming the accuracy of the tomographic inversion. The flow was dominated by the M2 constituent, with northwestward flood and southeastward ebb currents superimposed on a persistent northeastward residual flow. During flood–ebb transitions, short-lived eddies formed and persisted for ∼40 min. Deformation and kinetic energy flux convergence diagnostics suggest that tidal phase-dependent strain intensification favored eddy formation, producing localized retention zones that favor particle retention and reduce lateral dispersion. Horizontal eddy diffusivities estimated from strain-based and Lagrangian methods range from 2.56 to 10.54 m2 s−1 and peak during flood tides. Using an assumed representative horizontal nitrate gradient (∂C/∂x = 1.0 × 10−6 mmol m−4), these estimates imply lateral nutrient flux magnitudes of 0.24–0.92 mmol m−2 d−1, suggesting strong tidal phase modulation of biogeochemical exchange. These findings highlight the roles of tidal phase-dependent flow variability and transient eddy activity in regulating transport and mixing in island-shelf systems and show that high-frequency CAT can resolve physical processes relevant to adaptive MPA management.',

+      'Development in the sea has long been thought to be a nutritional gamble that disproportionately ends in starvation. Here, we support the premise that components of plastids appear to be incorporated into sea urchin eggs and that these, in turn, benefit development. We find chromoplast-derived carotenoid crystals and chromoplast-specific metabolites inside the eggs of the sea urchin Arbacia lixula. We find evidence of plastid DNA in the eggs of 11 other sea urchins, with diatoms being the primary source and taxonomic richness of these plastid taxa directly related to egg size. The light-dependent activity of these chromoplast components influences phytohormone and lipid metabolism as well as offspring development, morphological plasticity, and survival. Offspring that benefit from these chromoplast components are predicted to disperse further, over larger geographic areas, and use a wider range of currents, including those that cross ocean basins. Data presented here challenge the long-held belief that components of non-metazoan organelles are unable to enter the germline and be passed between generations. We hypothesize that sea urchins manipulate plastids solely for their self-interest with the result of this process being a novel and adaptive form of maternal provisioning.',
