ABSTRACT This study assesses the current status, indigenous harvesting techniques, seasonal dynamics and market value chain to identify constraints and opportunities of the small‐scale clam fishery along the southeast coast of Bangladesh. Data were collected from 216 stakeholders across 11 coastal sites using structured interviews, focus group ...

ABSTRACT Climate variability poses a major challenge to sustainable aquaculture, particularly tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) seed production, which is highly sensitive to seasonal fluctuations in temperature and water quality. This study evaluated a pond greenhouse system as a climate‐resilient approach for winter tilapia seed production compared with

A Field Tool for the Rapid Measurement of Mussel Valve Closure Strength as a Proxy for Condition
ABSTRACT Freshwater mussels (Unionida) are key to the health of many freshwater systems through the ecosystem functions and services they provide, yet their populations are declining across the globe. To address these declines with appropriate conservation actions, it is necessary to apply informative tools for measuring and monitoring mussel health ...

ABSTRACT The invasive brown alga Rugulopteryx okamurae, native to the northwestern Pacific, has rapidly expanded along the European Atlantic coast, reaching the Basque Coast in 2023, and was likely already present in 2022. Using annual data from a monitoring survey conducted between 2010 and 2025, this study assesses the spatio‐temporal variability of ...

Spatial‐Scale Evolutionary Bias Sheds Light on the Latitudinal Diversity Gradient
Using Escherichia coli as a model species, our experimental findings reveal that populations in high‐fitness‐gain geographic regions undergo rapid expansion, competitively excluding populations from low‐fitness‐gain regions. This results in adaptive evolution that is biased toward areas with higher fitness potential.
