Extremely low biodiversity Arctic intertidal habitats as sentinels for environmental change

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Arctic is undergoing dramatic changes, including an unprecedented decline in sea ice. Previous studies have shown the severe structuring impact of sea ice scour upon polar intertidal communities.

Monthly differences in the movement ecology of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) in eastern Lake Ontario

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Lake whitefish are a cold‐water species that holds cultural and economic importance throughout the Great Lakes region. Anthropogenic stressors over the last 60 years (e.g., invasive species, habitat degradation, and pollution) have caused significant declines in their populations.

Development of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Markers and Population Genetic Analysis of the Hadal Amphipod Alicella gigantea across the Mariana and New Britain Trenches

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Alicella gigantea, the largest amphipod scavengers found to date, play key roles in the food web of the hadal ecosystem. However, the genetic structure of A. gigantea populations among different trenches has not been reported yet.

Cosmopolitan landhopper Talitroides topitotum (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Talitridae) in Java, Indonesia [PDF]

Check List, 2016
The native land and freshwater amphipod fauna of Indonesia is little known. Meanwhile, the readily human-dispersed talitrid amphipod Talitroides topitotum (Burt, 1934), reported to have displaced native landhoppers in certain parts of the world, is found

Spatial habitat partitioning enables coexistence of three Gobiidae species in estuarine environments

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines resource partitioning (feeding morphology, diet and habitat partitioning) among three gobiid species, the Knysna sandgoby Psammogobius knysnaensis, the prison goby Caffrogobius gilchristi and the river goby Glossogobius callidus, within an estuarine environment.

Polar cod Boreogadus saida occurrence is driven by temperature at the margin of its distribution

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract With a warming Arctic, suitable habitat for polar cod Boreogadus saida (Lepechin 1774) is predicted to decrease. We investigated the changes in distribution of polar cod on the southern limit of its distribution in the Atlantic Ocean (around Iceland) during both autumn and spring after a recent period of warming in the area.

Filter feeders living on suspension feeders: New insights into the lifestyle and distribution of Arcturidae Dana, 1849 (Crustacea: Isopoda) around Iceland

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract The focus of the present study was on arcturid isopods occurring in the subarctic region around Iceland. Data from two decades of sampling with an epibenthic sledge (EBS) during numerous expeditions of the BIOICE (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic Waters; 1992–2004) and IceAGE (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology; 2011—ongoing ...

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

Benthic fauna dynamics following large‐scale seagrass restoration in an exposed environment

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Seagrass meadows are vital habitats, modifying hydrodynamic energy flows and sustaining biodiversity in the benthic environment. As such, there is a growing interest in using seagrass as a nature‐based solution for coastal adaptation. However, planting seagrass in hydrodynamically exposed environments is challenging, and the trajectories and timescales

Tidal reinstatement of coastal wetlands: a global review

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal wetland restoration is a global priority due to its critical role in enhancing climate resilience and biodiversity. Tidal reinstatement, through the removal or modification of tidal barriers, is a promising method to restore these ecosystems.
