Metapopulation‐scale resilience to disease‐induced mass mortality in a keystone predator: From stasis to instability

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Mass mortality from disease epidemics challenges the resistance and resilience of populations and communities. Assessing the impacts and consequences of such events is crucially dependent on long‐term datasets. In 2013–2016, sea star wasting disease (SSWD) caused population‐wide crashes of the archetypal keystone species, the sea star Pisaster

Towards Implementing Multispecies Harvest Strategies That Are Robust to Interacting Populations

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 923-941, September 2025.
To advance the implementation of fisheries management that is robust to interacting populations (RIP), ecosystem management approaches can be structured using four main categories: (A) whole‐of‐ecosystem; (B) focus or key species; (C) species of conservation concern; and (D) pest or climate‐immigrant species.

Genetic Population Structure and Distribution of the Small Giant Clam Tridacna maxima in Indo‐Pacific Coral Reefs: History Dynamics, Present Status and Future Trends

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Six distinct groups were identified in T. maxima across the Indo‐Pacific region, which was shaped by the ocean currents and the late Pleistocene glaciations. Gene‐flow analysis supported the center of origin hypothesis for the high biodiversity of the Indo‐Malay Archipelago.

Improving the Monitoring of the Invasive Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus): Combining Environmental DNA and Citizen Observations

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Early detection is a crucial tool for identifying the spread of invasive species. In this study, we validated a probe‐based quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay for the detection of the invasive Blue Crab, Callinectes sapidus, in the Mediterranean Sea, using 22 initial eDNA environmental samples (eDNA) collected from three ...
