Environmental and Protection Effects of Shark‐Companion Associations Across Three Ocean Basins

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Companion species frequently associate with large marine hosts, yet the ecological drivers of these relationships remain poorly understood. Using a global dataset of midwater BRUVS deployments, we modelled the presence and abundance of shark‐companion associations across seven shark species and three ocean basins.

Succession in a Tropical Dry Forest: A Test of the Chronosequence and Inference of Community Assembly Dynamics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This successional study in Florida Keys tropical dry forest (TDF) is the first to corroborate compositional and functional changes measured along a chronosequence with results of longitudinal measurements within sites. Additionally, this TDF ecosystem showed a rare successional pattern of convergence in species composition but divergence in functional ...

Temporal shifts in kelp forest structure and distribution largely reflect recent ocean warming trends

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Ocean warming is driving the redistribution of species at a global scale. Biogeographic transition zones are hotspots of species range shifts, as both warm‐ and cold‐adapted species are found toward contrasting range edges. While anecdotal evidence suggests some distributional shifts have occurred in the northeast Atlantic, the empirical evidence base ...

Reef fish assemblages impacted by sponges overgrowing corals

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Numerous stressors are driving long‐term declines in coral cover on coral reefs, significantly impacting reef fish biodiversity and community structure. The benthic space made available by declining coral cover is often occupied by increases in other organisms, including macroalgae, encrusting ascidians, and sponges.

In situ observation of bluntnose sixgill shark (Hexanchus griseus) aggregation, mainland Palau

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The bluntnose sixgill shark (Hexanchus griseus) is a globally distributed large‐bodied predator, primarily associated with deep‐sea environments. Due to the logistical constraints of its habitat, much remains unknown about the life history and behavior of H. griseus.
