Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Freshwater fish functional diversity shows diverse responses to human activities, but consistently declines in the tropics

Ecography, EarlyView.
Freshwater environments are intertwined with human activities and the consequence has been environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Fish provide key ecological and economic benefits, and fish abundance and diversity can be affected by human activities resulting in functional diversity (FD) changes that might scale up to ecosystem impacts ...

Benthic Habitat Mapping Using Sentinel-2A Satellite Imagery in Serewe Bay

Jurnal Biologi Tropis, 2021
Serewe Bay is an important area for sustainable fisheries. This information on benthic habitats is important to know for sustainable management. However, at the moment there is no information on the distribution of benthic habitats in Serewe Bay.

A systematic review evaluating the performance of eDNA methods relative to conventional methods for biodiversity monitoring

Ecography, EarlyView.
The rapid adoption of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods has drastically changed biodiversity monitoring efforts. It is often claimed that eDNA methods are more sensitive and efficient than conventional biodiversity monitoring methods, but it is often unclear what metrics support this claim.

Toxic Metals in Dried Marine Fish and Implications for Human Health in Bangladesh and Exporting Countries

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This study assessed toxic metals in five dried marine fish species from Bangladesh. Although most metals were within safe limits, chromium (Cr) consistently exceeded FAO/WHO standards, especially at Kuakata Beach. The findings highlight localized contamination hotspots and species‐specific bioaccumulation, while risk assessment supports the safety and ...
