Microplastic Impacts on Seafood: A Global Synthesis of Experimental Findings

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 591-606, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Plastic pollution is a growing global concern, with plastic and microplastic particles now widespread in aquatic environments. Microplastics are frequently ingested by marine organisms, including commercially important seafood species. Ingestion can lead to a range of biological effects, influenced by the size, type and quantity of plastic, as

Trophic Niche Overlap Between the Invasive Crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii (Gould, 1841) and Native Crab Species in the Southwest Atlantic Coast

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The introduction of exotic species is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss in aquatic ecosystems. The Harris mud crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii, native to the Atlantic coast of North America, was recorded in the Patos Lagoon estuary (southern Brazil) in the 1980s, likely introduced via ballast water. However, the effects of this invader

Discovery and Evaluation of Cadmium‐Adapted Daphnia pulex Genotypes in a Region of Historical Mining Reveals Adaptation Protects the Germline From Cadmium‐Induced Mutations

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Exposure to chemical pollutants can alter the rate and genome‐wide distribution of germline mutations. However, studies measuring the effects of chemical exposure on mutation rates and spectra have not considered the ecological and evolutionary backgrounds of the studied genotypes, which could influence the rates and patterns of germline ...

Inferring Time‐to‐Speciation From Hybrid Zone Analysis Informs Assessments of Taxonomic Inflation

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Measuring gene flow across hybrid zones can provide a direct evaluation of reproductive isolation (RI) between evolutionary divergent lineages. Geographic‐explicit modelling of gene flow across hybrid zones, known as cline analysis, thus offers a gold standard for species delimitation under the biological species criterion.

Restoration tools and strategies for afforested Mediterranean coastal grasslands: is eucalypt removal alone enough to kickstart ecosystem recovery?

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation with non‐native trees has profoundly altered coastal dune grasslands worldwide, creating persistent ecological legacies that constrain ecosystem recovery. Objectives We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of two restoration approaches, distinguished by their respective demands for resource investment: Moderately ...

Paraliropus nom. nov., a replacement name for Pseudoliropus Guerra-García & Ahyong, 2020, preoccupied by Pseudoliropus Laubitz, 1970 (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Caprellidae)

open access: yesRecords of the Australian Museum, 2021
Guerra-García & Ahyong (2020) erected the genus Pseudoliropus (type species Pseudoliropus keablei Guerra-García & Ahyong, 2020) for a new species of caprellid amphipod from southern Australia.

Molecular Phylogeny, Species Delimitation, and Biogeography of the Varunid Crab Genus Metaplax (Crustacea, Varunidae)

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 504-518, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Indo‐West Pacific genus Metaplax comprises 11 recognised species inhabiting intertidal mudflats, some adjacent to mangroves. To resolve long‐standing uncertainties, we analysed mitochondrial (COI, 16S) and nuclear (28S) markers. Phylogenetic analyses recovered Metaplax as monophyletic and resolved four well‐supported clades—the M ...

Peracarid Crusteceans Species from Upper Infralittoral Rocky Shores of Gokceada Island (Aegean Sea)

open access: yesÇanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Journal of Marine Sciences and Fisheries, 2019
The abundance of the peracarid crustacean fauna were studied on a spatial scale of Gokceada Island which is located Northern Aegean Sea. Samples were collected seasonally from 13 coastal stations at depth 0.1-0.5 m, during years of 2010 and 2011.

Diversity and distribution of coral gall crabs associated with Red Sea mesophotic corals

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Coral-dwelling gall crabs (Cryptochiridae) live in an obligate symbiosis with reef-building corals from shallow to deep waters. In particular, crabs of the genus Opecarcinus are known to occur across the tropical belt in association with the ...
