Quantifying Colonisation Pressure as a Driver of Secondary Spread During the Dreissena polymorpha Invasion of German River Networks

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have become a major component of global change, yet the processes governing secondary spread after initial introductions remain insufficiently resolved. A specific and central gap is the lack of a spatially explicit and temporally dynamic quantification of colonisation pressure, despite its presumed importance for ...

Along the Benthic to Holoplanktonic Continuum: Seafloor Affinity Increases Distance‐Decay Rates Among Abyssal Communities

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Marine species ranges are often large, contributing to relatively high community similarity over space, with decreased ranges expected among taxa that have lower dispersal and/or higher substrate requirements. We tested for a weakening of biogeographic structuring among dispersing abyssal taxa along the benthic to holoplanktonic habitat ...

First occurrences of Trionychidae (Testudines, Cryptodira) from the Miocene of Poland: Detailed cranial anatomy and biogeographic implications

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 314-337, August 2026.
Fossil finds from three Middle Miocene sites in Poland reveal the northernmost known presence of trionychid turtles in Europe, tentatively identified as Trionyx cf. vindobonensis, suggesting a warmer climate that supported thermophilic species in Central Europe during this period. Abstract Modern trionychids (Testudines, Cryptodira) have a pan‐tropical

Simulation modeling of the Adjustable Buoyancy Device for open ocean low trophic aquaculture, part I: Test of a submersible long tube unit

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Open‐water low‐trophic aquaculture (LTA) is a sustainable method for producing ocean‐based food and providing ecosystem services. An effective system design is critical for mitigating risks posed by deep ocean forces. Developing submersible cultivation technology requires quantitative risk analysis and modeling to address offshore challenges ...

Range‐Wide Genetic Population Structure and Environmental Adaptation in the Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Provides Insight for Aquaculture

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Selective breeding in aquaculture is necessary to establish food security and meet demand for sustainably produced protein. An informed selective breeding program requires understanding how population structure, environmental adaptation, and human activities shape natural genetic variation in wild conspecifics.
