Breaking Boundaries: First Observation of Intertidal Emergence During Mating in Octopuses. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We document the first recorded case of intertidal emergence during copulation in Callistoctopus macropus. A mating pair gradually moved from shallow water onto the rocky shore while remaining attached, with the female resisting and the male counter‐anchoring for nearly 20 min before re‐submerging.

Do shortfin mako Isurus oxyrinchus hunt dolphins actively? [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Direct evidence of shark predation on cetaceans is scarce, making it difficult to differentiate between stomach contents that have been scavenged and actively hunted. This study reports the presence of dolphin (Tursiops aduncus and Stenella clymene) remains in the stomachs of three large shortfin makos Isurus oxyrinchus.

Integrative taxonomy suggests hidden diversity within the fish genus Cyttopsis (Zeiformes, Parazenidae). [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Nine specimens of Cyttopsis rosea (Zeiformes: Parazenidae) were collected during scientific surveys at three different locations in the northeast Atlantic. All nine specimens were included in the molecular analysis, adding new cytochrome c oxidase subunit I sequences to public databases.

Methods to estimate marine functional connectivity: A primer. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Organism movement is a key process in the transfer of individuals, genes, functional traits, matter, and energy among habitat patches, at sea and across the land–sea interface. The resulting fluxes, collectively termed marine functional connectivity (MFC), underpin planetary health and an array of ecosystem services.

Bivalve Shell Utilization by Juvenile <i>Octopus vulgaris</i> in Sandy Substrates. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates how juvenile Octopus vulgaris adapt to sandy environments with limited shelter and high predation risk by using empty bivalve shells for protection. Through four SCUBA expeditions in NW Spain, nine juveniles were observed using shells that fit their body size, strategically positioning themselves for surveillance and employing ...

Complementarity and sensitivity of benthic state indicators to bottom-trawl fishing disturbance. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Many indicators have been developed to assess the state of benthic communities and identify seabed habitats most at risk from bottom trawling disturbance. However, the large variety of indicators and their development and application under specific geographic areas and management contexts has made it difficult to evaluate their wider utility ...

Efficacy Assessment of Montanide GEL 02 PR and Liposome‐Based Encapsulation as Adjuvants for an FrpA Subunit Vaccine Against Photobacteriosis in Solea senegalensis

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Photobacteriosis is a major threat to marine aquaculture, and the siderophore transporter FrpA represents a promising target for effective subunit vaccine development. In this study, we evaluated Montanide GEL 02 PR and phosphatidylcholine‐based liposomes as aqueous and safer alternatives to Freund's adjuvant for an FrpA‐based subunit vaccine ...

Transient Ecological Niches for Diazotrophs in Upwelling Bays

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Diazotrophs, microorganisms capable of fertilizing the ocean through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), are widespread in the oceans, including upwelling bays. However, their ability to respond to short‐lived upwelling pulses, lasting only a few days, remains poorly understood. To investigate diazotrophy across temporal scales, we analyzed 18

Synthetic pelagic biomass size spectra of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Synthetic normalized biomass size spectra (NBSS) comprising non‐synoptically sampled phytoplankton, meso‐ and macrozooplankton, and micronekton including mesopelagic fishes were explored to analyze pelagic community structure in seven regions of the tropical and the subtropical Atlantic representative of different water bodies (NE Brazil shelf,

Ocean acidification at the crossroads I: Harmonizing unpurified and purified meta‐cresol purple spectrophotometric pHT measurements based on absorbance data

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Consistent monitoring of seawater spectrophotometric pH on the total hydrogen ion scale (pHT) has been questioned by an evolving method, with changes in parameterization and the purity of the meta‐cresol purple (mCP). Using real seawater samples, we demonstrate that spectrophotometric pHT measurements obtained with unpurified (UNPUR) and ...
