Physiology and Survival of Intertidal Calcifiers in Two Contrasting Upwelling Systems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study evaluates the physiological responses and survival of two intertidal mollusk species, Chiton granosus and Scurria zebrina, across contrasting upwelling environments. We found that metabolic rates and survival differ between populations exposed to seasonal versus semi‐permanent upwelling.

What Is a Biosensor?—A Terminological Guide From Biomolecular Recognition to Bioindicators

open access: yesEngineering in Life Sciences, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Biosensors are an integral part of modern medicine, are used in basic research, and are increasingly used by consumers as point‐of‐care and wearable devices. Meanwhile, the underlying technological approaches are rapidly expanding, including spectroscopic sensing, artificial bioreceptors, synthetic biological approaches, whole‐cell biosensors,

Cryptofauna Associated With the Epilithic Algal Matrix on Subtropical Brazilian Reefs

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The epilithic algal matrix (EAM) plays a significant role in the benthic cover of reefs worldwide. In Brazil, the EAM accounts for a substantial proportion of the benthos, and its associated fauna contributes to the majority of the reef's metazoan biodiversity and is an important link into the trophic chain, connecting the production performed

Environmental factors affect the condition of critically endangered freshwater pearl mussels by disrupting terrestrial–aquatic resource connectivity

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This regional‐scale field study shows that critically threatened freshwater pearl mussels rely substantially on terrestrial organic matter, indicating strong connectivity between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. However, human pressures at the catchment scale reduced this resource connectivity.

Biogeographic Patterns and Drivers of Endolithic Symbiosis in Mussels Across Atlantic Europe and North Africa

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Ecological interactions are central to ecosystem health. In intertidal habitats, mussels serve as foundational bioengineers. Microbial endoliths erode mussel shells and impair fitness but may also provide thermal benefits under stress. This relationship can be context‐dependent, shifting from parasitism to mutualism.
