Spatiotemporal Variation in Marine Mammal Antipredator Behaviors Resulting From a Predation Pinch Point

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Using 17 years of biologging data from 353 adult female northern elephant seals, we explored how seals modified their use of time and space when moving through nearshore areas where predation risk is high. We found that seals tended to depart at night, arrive during the day, and perform benthic dives along the continental shelf.

The Critical Role of Coefficients: Updating Allometric Normalisation Constants for Modern Ecology and Modelling

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
Allometry is central to a wide range of ecological research including dynamic food web modelling. Here we updated the often neglected allometric coefficients for metabolism and production, deriving new genus and metabolic group levels estimates with phylogenetic hierarchical modelling providing robust inference.

Morphology and paleoecology of a hybodontiform with serrated teeth, Priohybodus arambourgi, from the Late Jurassic of northeastern Brazil

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 1, Page 5-32, January 2026.
Abstract Hybodontiformes was a diverse, successful, and important group of shark‐like chondrichthyans known from a variety of ecosystems. Some representatives of the order had a wide palaeogeographic distribution, as is the case with Priohybodus arambourgi. With a multicuspidate crown, P. arambourgi was the first hybodontiform to develop fully serrated

Only One Percent of Important Shark and Ray Areas in the Western Indian Ocean Are Fully Protected From Fishing Pressure

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Delineation of Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) In the Western Indian Ocean was enhanced by the verification and incorporation of unpublished records. Even with this expanded dataset, ~99% of ISRA coverage fell outside of fully protected, no‐take MPAs.
