Widespread Association of Ciliates Colonizing Gills of Shrimps Inhabiting Vents and Seeps Across the Pacific Ocean

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacterial symbiosis is well‐documented in chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems, but associations with microeukaryotes remain overlooked. In this study, using scanning electron microscopy and 18S rDNA barcoding, we investigate the presence, diversity, and biogeographic patterns of ciliate epibionts associated with two deep‐sea caridean families ...

Epibenthic predators control mobile macrofauna associated with a foundation species in a subarctic subtidal community

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Foundation species (FS) are strong facilitators providing habitat for numerous dependent organisms. The communities shaped by FS are commonly structured by interplay of facilitation and consumer control.

Influence of Geometric Design on Mechanical Performance of Auxetic Metastructure

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 15, 5 August 2026.
Strategic geometric reinforcement transforms auxetic performance. This study evaluates 3D‐printed arrowhead metastructures, revealing that a modified design with local ring reinforcement suppresses premature failure to achieve superior energy absorption and structural efficiency.

Using Photographs in Fishers’ Ecological Knowledge Research: A Review and Field Study on Small‐Scale Fishers’ Knowledge of Coastal Habitats in the Central Mediterranean Sea

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Fishers interact daily with coastal environments, which generate a deep understanding of habitat characteristics, species associations and ecological change. Fishers’ ecological knowledge (FEK) is therefore a critical source of insight for marine science, offering observations that uniquely complement scientific data and, when incorporated ...

Morphological Characterization and Complete Mitochondrial Genome of a New Epizoic Hexamerous Brittle Star Gymnolophus sexradia sp. Nov

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study describes a new hexamerous epizoic brittle star species, Gymnolophus sexradia sp. nov., from the South China Sea, which lives on crinoid hosts and exhibits a six‐armed body plan possibly indicating fissiparity. Its vertebral and arm plate structures enhance horizontal flexibility for grasping the host, and phylogenetic analysis based on ...

Departing With the Wind: Spring Migration Timing in Brent Geese From Their Most Important Staging and Wintering Site, the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The timing of migratory departure reflects a balance between endogenous schedules and transient environmental opportunities. By linking GPS‐derived departure events with hourly atmospheric data, we demonstrate that wind assistance strongly increases departure probability in Brent Geese, while this selectivity weakens over time as migratory urgency ...

Environmental and local habitat variables as predictors of trophic interactions in subtidal rocky reefs along the SE Pacific coast

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.

Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities

Ecography, 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.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the hydrothermal vent barnacle Eochionelasmus ohtai (Cirripedia, Thoracica)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
Thoracican barnacles are common in hydrothermal vent fields. Here, we characterized the first mitogenome of a hydrothermal vent barnacle. The mitogenome of Eochionelasmus ohtai was 15,585 bp in length and had the typical pancrustacean gene arrangement ...
