The Occurrence of Microplastic Ingestion in Commercial Marine Fish in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia
Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.ABSTRACT Microplastics are polymer‐based particle compositions of various toxic chemicals with size less than 5 mm. Due to their small size, microplastics can be ingested and accumulate in body tissues of organisms. This raises concerns about their toxicity being transferred to humans via food consumption.

Microcystins in components of twelve New Hampshire lakes of varied trophic status [PDF]
, 1999 Cyanobacteria toxins, called microcystins (MCs), were found in components of twelve, stratified New Hampshire (USA) lakes of varied trophic status during the summer of 1998.

Phloxine B Staining is Compatible With High‐Throughput DNA Barcoding of Meiofauna
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Modern, integrative biodiversity research requires methods capable of bridging the gap between detailed morphological observations and the scalability of DNA sequencing. For small, transparent, and highly abundant animals like meiofauna, sorting specimens from the matrix forms a major bottleneck, as the use of commonly used stains can inhibit ...

Temporal dynamics of mesopelagic fishes within a mesoscale eddy: A Lagrangian perspective
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.Abstract Mesoscale eddies are physically dynamic environments, yet biological responses within them are often treated as static, with eddy polarity (anticyclones vs. cyclones) serving as the dominant conceptual framework. Temporal dynamics of animals within eddies—particularly at mid‐trophic levels—remain largely unresolved.

Feeding ecology of sprat (Sprattus sprattus L.) and sardine (Sardina pilchardus W.) larvae in the German Bight, North Sea [PDF]
, 2009 The abundance of the sardine in the North Sea suddenly increased after 1995. Since 2002, the sardine has been spawning regularly in the German Bight, and all its life stages can be found in the area.

Life after death in the pelagic: Non‐predatory zooplankton mortality and the “ghost carbon pump”
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.Abstract The biological carbon pump is traditionally framed as a trophically mediated process in which zooplankton mortality is attributed mainly to predation, routing carbon through fecal pellets and higher trophic levels before export. Increasing evidence, however, shows that nonpredatory mortality—caused by different environmental stressors—accounts

Control Strategies in Guanine Biocrystallization
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 18, 27 April 2026.Biological guanine crystals produce spectacular photonic phenomena in animals and hold great promise as new, sustainable optical materials. We review how organisms precisely control the structure, morphologies, and resulting optical properties of these crystals using a set of ingenious ‘design’ strategies, including control of pH, template‐directed ...
