Population Structure and Genetic Diversity Analyses Reveal Isolation That May Imperil the Northernmost Colony of the Endangered Australian Sea Lion

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Rapid warming of marine environments is threatening ecosystems, especially species at the edge of their range. This study analysed the genetic structure and diversity of Australian sea lion populations and found the northernmost population to be highly isolated with extremely low genetic variation.

Separating Sampling Bias From Abundance Shows That Different Methods Catch Different Wild Bees

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Comparing community sampling methods' relative taxonomic biases is critical to interpreting the data they collect, but measuring bias explicitly is difficult when methods also produce different sample sizes. Here, we control for absolute abundance while comparing sample composition and richness of three common methods for sampling wild bee communities.

Characterization of salmon‐foraging harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) in the Erimo region, Hokkaido, Japan, using finite mixture models

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Finite mixture models revealed that older, larger harbor seals specialize in salmon predation at setnets in Hokkaido, Japan, suggesting targeted management strategies focusing on these specialist individuals could effectively reduce fishery conflicts while protecting the broader seal population.

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 519-538, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Emergence, spread, and impact of high‐pathogenicity avian influenza H5 in wild birds and mammals of South America and Antarctica

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The currently circulating high‐pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus of the subtype H5 causes variable illness and death in wild and domestic birds and mammals, as well as in humans. This virus evolved from the Goose/Guangdong lineage of the HPAI H5 virus, which emerged in commercial poultry in China in 1996, spilled over into wild birds,

Strategic Joint Production Under Common-Pool Output Quotas: The Case of Fisheries Bycatch [PDF]

open access: yes
We develop a simple game-theoretic model to explain the production decisions of firms when the production of a marketed good is complementary with the output of an associated good for which no market is available and the output of both goods is regulated

A multiscale seasonal examination of the risk of harm to seabirds from vessels based on co‐occurrence in Alaskan waters

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Alaska's seascape supports globally significant seabird populations, including vulnerable and threatened species, and hosts economically important commercial fisheries and marine transportation corridors. Seasonal patterns of seabird movements and vessel traffic create a complex landscape of risk, defined as high levels of co‐occurrence ...
