Selective Effects of Environmental Conditions and Protection Levels on Herbivorous Fish Functions in the Largest South Atlantic Reef Complex

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Herbivorous fish are key components in maintaining functionality in reef environments; however, this group is widely threatened by overfishing and habitat degradation. Investigating the main factors determining the structure of herbivorous fish becomes paramount to defining management strategies amid anthropogenic impacts. This study evaluated

Concordant Patterns of Population Genetic Structure and Symbiont Communities in a Broadcasting Spawning Coral Along a Western Australian Fringing Reef

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We explored fine‐scale patterns of connectivity and symbiont associations across the Ningaloo reefscape to inform on post‐disturbance recovery, larval dispersal capabilities, and recruitment dynamics. We detected low but significant population genetic structure among sample sites spread across Ningaloo Reef with the highest diversity in southern sites.

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Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) In the Western Indian Ocean was enhanced by the verification and incorporation of unpublished records.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.

eDNA Metabarcoding Reveals Microbial Community Composition in Tropical Mangrove Forests in Makassar, Indonesia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding with 18S rRNA markers to assess microbial diversity in the Lantebung Mangrove Forest, Makassar, Indonesia. It identified 103 microbial species across five kingdoms, revealing higher species richness in open‐water areas (P1) and greater individual abundance under mangrove canopy (P2).

Somatic Growth Rates of Juvenile Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas) in the Fijian Archipelago

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We measured somatic growth rates of 215 juvenile green turtles across three foraging sites in the Fijian Archipelago from 2015 to 2022, finding a mean growth rate of 1.6 ± 0.1 cm year−1 that declined non‐monotonically with size and varied spatially between sites.

Season, Microclimate and Shoreline Disturbance Interactively Shape Bird Functional Diversity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study examined the seasonal and spatial patterns of bird functional diversity across natural and urbanized coastal sites in Ghana. We found that natural shorelines undergo significant seasonal functional reorganization, whereas urbanized areas maintain stable, generalist‐dominated communities year‐round, losing the temporal dynamics that support ...
