Acoustic evidence for topographic blocking on a steep submarine canyon wall

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Diel vertical migration (DVM) is the largest mass‐movement of animals on Earth, with profound ecological and biogeochemical consequences. DVM has mostly been studied in the open ocean; however, at steep slopes, pelagic animals including vertical migrators must contend with the seafloor, emphasizing the importance of understanding DVM in these ...

Marine Parasite Biogeography Mirrors Host Patterns Across Latitude, Area, and Diversity

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Parasites are integral components of biodiversity, yet they remain poorly represented in large‐scale biogeographic theory. In this study, we test whether marine parasites follow three macroecological patterns established for free‐living taxa, namely that parasite species richness: (1) scales positively with area (both host body size and geographic area)

Temporal changes in the dietary niche of sympatric seals provides insight into the role of competition in population declines

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Competition theory suggests that interspecific prey competition can result in changes to the dietary niche, but obtaining timeseries of data from sympatric species experiencing temporal variation in competition is challenging. Scotland is an important area for two species of seals, but over the past 20 years, populations of harbour seals Phoca vitulina

Stock assessment of Demersal Resources in the Gulf of Oman

, 2003
Demersal resources in the Gulf of Oman are one of the main objectives for both industrial and traditional fisheries. In order to implement a rational management of these resources; the research project of “stock assessment of demersal resources in the ...

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.

eDNA signals improve local predictions of fish abundances in Mediterranean coastal ecosystems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study demonstrates that integrating eDNA metabarcoding data into species distribution models can improve fish abundance predictions, especially for site‐attached and reef‐associated species. This approach provides a scalable and cost‐effective tool for monitoring, impact assessment, spatial planning and adaptive management of marine resources ...

Improving Living Resource Responses in Ecosystem Restoration: An Illustration Using the Chesapeake Bay

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Two key components of large‐scale ecosystem restoration planning are: (1) prioritizing individual projects based on how living resources respond, and (2) selecting and analyzing indicators of living resources to assess restoration progress and performance.
