Effects of Trawling on Seamounts [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2010
Trawling involves the towing of nets through the water or along the seafloor to sieve out fish and marine invertebrates. It is the most widely used method to catch fish throughout the world, and there are many variations in gear design and towing methods.

Stable Isotope–Enabled Particle Drift Models Predict Where High‐Resolution Isotope Analyses Can Discriminate Among Larval Trajectories in Atlantic Mackerel

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 760-776, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine fish commonly move across distinct habitats throughout their lifetimes, particularly during larval stages, when they are particularly difficult to track. Such transitions are necessary as environmental demands and predation pressures change dramatically with increases in body size.

Organizational Soundscapes and the Sonicity of Voices: The Power of the ‘Sounds’ that Carry ‘Words’

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 2305-2331, September 2026.
Abstract Organizations are soundscapes – they resonate with sounds and particularly the sounds of voices. Somehow however voice sonics, that is the sounds of voices and not the words carried on those sounds, have escaped attention in management studies. This absence of analysis is peculiar given voice sonics' undoubted influence on management (they may

Distribution and Characterization of Threatened Common Eagle Ray Aggregations in the Central–Western Mediterranean Sea: Opportunities for Regional Conservation Actions

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Many sharks and rays aggregate in critical habitats to migrate, rest, feed, mate or give birth. These predictable events, often involving dozens to thousands of individuals, represent important and vulnerable phases in their life cycles. However, fishing activities and unregulated tourism can threaten these aggregations, disrupting natural ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1704-1734, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Reproductive Biology and Life‐History Plasticity of the Yellowfin Snapper Lutjanus xanthopinnis in the Southern South China Sea

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The reproductive biology of the yellowfin snapper Lutjanus xanthopinnis, recently identified as a new species, was first examined across all seasons in the southwestern South China Sea. Spawning in both female and male L. xanthopinnis was observed over the years.

Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 6, August 2026.
Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.

Increasing artificial light at night enhances salmonid predator foraging efficiency in an urbanized lake

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) poses a threat to ecosystems globally. It includes both direct and indirect light, or skyglow, which occurs when ALAN scatters in the atmosphere, extending beyond its original source. We analyzed ALAN trends in Lake Washington, WA, from 2014 to 2023 using Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS ...
