TRADABLE RISK PERMITS TO PREVENT FUTURE INTRODUCTIONS OF ALIEN INVASIVE SPECIES INTO THE GREAT LAKES [PDF]

open access: yes
Alien invasive species contribute to biodiversity loss and cause billions of dollars of economic damage in the Great Lakes. We examine the design and efficiency of a tradeable permit system for biological pollution due to alien species that invade the ...

Not Cryptogenic: Molecular and Historical Evidence Supports Introduction of Asparagopsis taxiformis (Rhodophyta) Into the Galápagos Islands

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Identifying the origins of widespread species is crucial for conservation in isolated biodiversity hotspots, where ‘cryptogenic’ status often hinders effective biosecurity. We investigated the genetic identity and introduction history of the red macroalga Asparagopsis taxiformis in the Galápagos Islands to resolve its cryptogenic status ...

Circumglobal Distribution of the Benthic Ctenophore Vallicula multiformis (Rankin 1956), Documented Through Diverse Observation Types

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To improve our understanding of the distribution of Vallicula multiformis, we integrate a series of diverse observation types, including citizen science records, published literature, metagenomic datasets, published sequences, and newly acquired material, to evaluate whether geographically isolated records reflect a single broadly ...

Adaptive Variation Amid High Gene Flow Across a Broad Latitudinal Gradient in the Reef‐Building Honeycomb Worm, Sabellaria alveolata

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 17, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is already altering, and will continue to reshape, the persistence and spatial structure of marine populations. Understanding metapopulation connectivity and local adaptation is therefore critical for identifying both vulnerable populations and those with adaptive resilience.

The Impact of Russia–Ukraine War in Maritime Data

open access: yesThe World Economy, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 1907-1923, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study analyses weekly port calls from 2019 to 2026 to evaluate the Russia–Ukraine war's impact on maritime trade. The data reveals clear structural shifts that Ukrainian traffic moved from high‐risk areas like Odesa to safer Danube River ports.

Trace Elements in Total Atmospheric Deposition Directly Measured Over the Caribbean Region: Natural Versus Anthropogenic Sources and Geographic Origin

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Dust, sea salt, and anthropogenic and biogenic particles in total atmospheric deposition are sources of essential elements that can significantly impact biogeochemical cycles in the Atlantic Ocean and in islands of the Caribbean region. This unique 41‐month data set records direct sampling of total atmospheric deposition from March 2015 to ...
