Structural Characterization, β‐Cyclodextrin Polymer Interaction, and Biological Assessment of the N‐Terminal Peptide from the RPD‐1 Big Defensin of Ruditapes p hilippinarum

open access: yesChemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2026.
Defensins are a large and ancient family of host–defence peptides present across vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants, where they play a crucial role in innate immunity. Among them, big defensins represent a structurally distinctive subfamily characterized by a hydrophobic N‐terminal domain and a cysteine‐rich C‐terminal β‐defensin‐like domain. Here,

Using Demographic Estimation and Power Analysis to Inform Monitoring Efforts and Detect Declines in Freshwater Mussels

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Population assessments can be used to determine species' viability and inform conservation efforts; however, obtaining sufficient data quality and quantity can be challenging when monitoring resources are scarce. This study combines field methods and data simulation to provide insight about population changes and the sampling necessary to detect those ...

Artificial oyster reefs can facilitate the recovery of lost ecosystem function in fragmented seagrass habitat

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seagrasses suffer population decline when environmental stress exceeds physiological tolerance. In such instances, seagrass restoration can be successful if stressors are alleviated; however, many stressors cannot be addressed at a local scale. As such, seagrass restoration efforts often fail. In this study, we tested whether artificial oyster

Genetic Reference Gaps Limit eDNA Metabarcoding and Biodiversity Monitoring of Tropical Mangrove Ecosystems

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
This review reveals major genetic data gaps for Philippine mangrove fauna, especially invertebrates, limiting species‐level eDNA detection. By compiling 48 years of biodiversity records and assessing reference library coverage, it highlights the need for targeted sequencing and shows how integrating eDNA with conventional surveys strengthens monitoring

The end stage of barrier estuary infill: Insights from Jack Smith Lake, Southeastern Australia

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
Infill model for the saline coastal lake estuary, Jack Smith Lake. Abstract Jack Smith Lake in southeastern Australia is an infilled saline coastal lake, disconnected from the ocean by a foredune barrier. This study explores the Holocene infill history of this estuary in order to understand the end‐stage evolution of barrier estuarine systems with ...
