Primary Productivity and Habitat Depth Shape Developmental Mode in European Marine Gastropods. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Thorson's rule suggests that marine gastropods in colder, high‐latitude regions tend to have non‐pelagic (non‐drifting) larval development. However, this study on 94 European gastropod species found that the rule disappears when examined at finer spatial scales, with temperature and phylogeny having little influence.

Genetic Stock Identification Reveals Mismatches Between Management Areas and Population Genetic Structure in a Migratory Pelagic Fish. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Sustainable fisheries management is important for the continued harvest of the world's marine resources, especially as they are increasingly challenged by a range of climatic and anthropogenic factors. One of the pillars of sustainable fisheries management is the accurate identification of the biological units, i.e., populations.

Emaciated enigma: Decline in body conditions of common dolphins in the Celtic Seas ecoregion. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The nutritional health of stranded common dolphins in the Celtic Seas ecoregion has recently declined, as evidenced by a decrease in nutritional status and an increase in starvation‐related deaths. Ventral blubber thickness was identified as the most reliable predictor of nutritional status when comparing various morphometric indices using ordinal ...

Glass eels and viruses – a lesson learnt from stocking the eastern German Baltic Sea coast

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Accepted Article., 2022
Abstract Concerns about Anguillid herpesvirus 1 (AngHV‐1) in European eels, especially due to stocking measures, is increasingly coming into focus and raises questions regarding disease monitoring and prevention. In the past, stocking of AngHV‐1‐positive eels into waters assumed AngHV‐1‐free has led to a rapid increase of infected eels in the wild. For

Food intake of early juvenile western Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) during settlement transition

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the gut contents of 203 early juvenile Atlantic cod [17–101 mm ± 18.48 mm standard deviation (SD)] from the Western Baltic Sea (ICES Subdivision 22) collected between 2020 and 2022. According to the observed prey (proportion of pelagic, intermediate and benthic items) in the cod guts, settlement transition from a pelagic to

Assessment of Bottom Trawl Impacts on the Status of Seabed Communities in European Seas

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 285-299, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Bottom trawling affects seabed habitats, but its large‐scale impacts remain poorly quantified. Assessment of trawling impacts is essential to support monitoring and achieving sustainability objectives under international conventions, sustainable development goals, and seafood certification programs.

Integrating Aegean Last Interglacial faunas into the Mediterranean palaeobiogeographic framework: New evidence from Karpathos (Greece)

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 80-98, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The Last Interglacial (LIG) or Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e, spanning 129 to 116 kyrs ago, is recognised as one of the warmest periods in the Quaternary, with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) 1°C–2°C higher than today, sea levels 5–10 m above the current level and biogeographical range expansion of specific tropical species into the ...

Marked Ericales diversity in late Oligocene–Early Miocene palynofloras from northern Thailand suggests stratified mountain forests

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1458-1480, November 2025.
Ericalean pollen was recovered from the Ban Pa Kha Subbasin, Li Basin, northern Thailand. Based on the ecological preferences of their modern analogs, the assemblage of dispersed ericalean pollen likely derives from more than one vegetation type and possibly from different vertical zones of mountainous areas.

Scale‐dependent effects of biodiversity and stability on marine ecosystem dynamics

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 8, August 2025.
The global biodiversity loss is causing abrupt shifts in the structure and functioning of ecosystems with severe ecological and socio‐economic consequences. Therefore, improving our understanding of ecosystem dynamics and regime shifts, as well as the stabilizing role of biodiversity across multiple scales is needed.

Bridging the gap between remotely sensed phenology and the underlying ecophysiological processes: The SWELL model

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1473-1488, July 2025.
Abstract Vegetation phenology studies the periodic recurrence of plant life‐cycle events and is essential for understanding ecosystem responses to environmental changes. Remote sensing has become a key tool for monitoring phenological events on large spatial and temporal scales, primarily using vegetation indices like the Normalized Difference ...
