Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We used sedimentary ancient DNA shotgun metagenomics to reconstruct past bird communities in northern high‐latitude environments. By using long time series and data collected across a large environmental gradient, we contributed in a unique and explorative way to the understanding of palaeoecological dynamics between birds and their habitat on the ...

Microhabitat Patchiness Structures Benthic Biodiversity in the Western Antarctic Peninsula
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Shallow benthic communities of the West Antarctic Peninsula cannot be considered uniform habitats but rather mosaics of microhabitats, each characterised by distinct macroalgal communities and associated fauna. Regional biodiversity and patterns are shaped by the number and types of microhabitats.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Low concentrations of dissolved oxygen (DO) in hypolimnetic waters are becoming more common and could affect nutrient supplies available to phytoplankton communities in meso‐ and eutrophic lakes. We examined the connections among hypolimnetic DO, nutrient concentrations, and phytoplankton communities in 26 oligotrophic lakes in the Kawartha ...

Diatoms–copepods: An evolutionary arms race
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Diatoms and copepods are dominating and diverse groups of phytoplankton and zooplankton, respectively. Diatoms account for 25–40% of ocean primary production, and their main predators, copepods, are arguably the most abundant group of metazoans in the ocean, typically accounting for ~ 80% of zooplankton biomass.

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Phytoplankton size classes (PSCs) and Phytoplankton functional types (PFTs) determine many fundamental biogeochemical processes including nutrient uptake, energy transfer through marine food webs, ocean carbon export, and gas exchange with the atmosphere. Discerning the causes of spatio‐temporal variability of PSCs is a scientific priority for
