The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2017 Water movement can influence the distribution of benthos, in part, by increasing food delivery; however, the impact of advective transport and turbulent diffusion on organic matter flux to nearshore benthic communities is not well quantified.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.To identify promising locations where Largetooth Sawfish, Pristis pristis, may persist, a novel species‐specific Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) assay was designed capable of detecting a single copy of DNA, with in silico and in vitro validation experiments indicating functionality across the species' historical range.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) populations along the eastern Moroccan Mediterranean coast were studied over 12 months using 390 specimens to assess reproductive ecology. The species showed two spawning periods—late winter to early spring and summer—and exhibited fractional spawning, with males being more predominant.

Scientia Marina, 2011 Short-term temporal variability in infaunal crustacean communities was evaluated against environmental variability. The area of study was located at two stations at 45 and 60 m depth under the influence of the Ebro River.

Reef fish assemblages impacted by sponges overgrowing corals
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Numerous stressors are driving long‐term declines in coral cover on coral reefs, significantly impacting reef fish biodiversity and community structure. The benthic space made available by declining coral cover is often occupied by increases in other organisms, including macroalgae, encrusting ascidians, and sponges.

BRIGHT LIFE IN THE BENTHOS [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2012 ![Figure][1] Sinking through the inky ocean, it would seem that there is little light at depth: but you'd be wrong. ‘In the mesopelagic realm [200–1000 m] bioluminescence [light produced by animals] is very common’, says Sonke Johnsen from Duke University, USA, explaining that ...

Acoustic evidence for topographic blocking on a steep submarine canyon wall
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Diel vertical migration (DVM) is the largest mass‐movement of animals on Earth, with profound ecological and biogeochemical consequences. DVM has mostly been studied in the open ocean; however, at steep slopes, pelagic animals including vertical migrators must contend with the seafloor, emphasizing the importance of understanding DVM in these ...

A global assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren: Functional consistency with depth
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Lebensspuren—sedimentary traces produced by benthic organisms—are widespread on deep‐sea floors but remain infrequently reported from abyssal (~ 3000–6000) and hadal (> 6000 m) environments. Here, we present the most comprehensive assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren to date, spanning multiple ocean basins and reaching full‐ocean
