Macroalgae and Bivalve Interactions: A Review of Trophic and Feeding Studies to Assess the Contribution of Macroalgal Detritus to Bivalves

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
ABSTRACT There is growing interest in the co‐culture of macroalgae and filter‐feeding bivalves due to anticipated trophic benefits that may enhance the productivity of both organisms. Detritus from cultured macroalgae has the potential to supplement bivalve diets, yet few studies have directly examined this relationship in co‐culture systems.

Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Biotic interactions are predicted to be stronger in the tropics compared to higher latitudes, contributing to observed patterns of global biodiversity. While increased consumer diversity and more complex food webs are expected in tropical communities, the trophic dynamics underlying strong regional effects of predation are not well understood.

Why Some Bryozoans Poop Themselves: A Novel Defecation Method in Ctenostome Bryozoans

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 8, August 2026.
Defecation process in ctenostome bryozoans with vestibular anus. Faecal pellets are formed in the gut and afterwards pushed via the hindgut onto the retracted lophophore. The latter pushes the pellets outside. ABSTRACT Feeding in animal colonies is a challenging but important aspect in organisms comprised of numerous zooids.
