Influence of Divided Ponds on Fish Diets in Polyculture: Insights From Carbon and Nitrogen Stable Isotopes in Trophic Webs

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
Estimated contributions of food resources to the diets of fish and isotope values of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) of individual fish using Bayesian stable‐isotope mixing models by species, treatment (open or divided pond) and period (July or October).

Revisiting the Conservation Status of Cobitis taenia in Switzerland Using Environmental DNA

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater loaches of the genus Cobitis are small benthic fish inhabiting fine sediments in slow‐flowing rivers and vegetated lakes. Due to their small size, low economic value and inconspicuous behaviour, they are rarely studied, and their taxonomy and distribution remain poorly understood.

River Connectivity in Dammed Areas Studied Through Environmental DNA Metabarcoding at Community and Species Levels

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The field of environmental DNA (eDNA) is rapidly expanding with established applications in biodiversity monitoring, rare species detection and ecological assessment. However, its potential to evaluate species connectivity in fragmented aquatic systems remains underexplored.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) and Field Surveys as Complementary Tools for the Biomonitoring of Amphibian Communities

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Amphibians are facing large population declines as a result of both natural and anthropogenic threats. Reconstructing and understanding the composition and structure of amphibian communities is essential for developing effective monitoring and conservation strategies.

Harnessing Population Genomics, Gut Microbiota, and Environmental DNA Surveillance for the Conservation of Chinese Spotted Seals in a Changing World

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Marine mammals are sentinel species for ocean and human health. Multiple anthropogenic and environmental stressors threaten these organisms, particularly China's spotted seals, which have experienced significant decline over the past half‐century. Our review reveals low genetic diversity in Chinese spotted seal populations.

Diet Switching and Interspecific Competition in Sympatric Steppe Ungulates Under Seasonal Resource Variability

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanisms of competition and coexistence among sympatric species is crucial for deepening our understanding of interspecific interactions and informing the conservation of rare and endangered wildlife. In this study, we utilized DNA macro‐barcoding technology to analyze the seasonal dietary habits of Kiang (Equus kiang) and ...

Investigating Anthropogenic and Social Influences on Diet of Semi‐Urban Vervet Monkeys Using DNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We used eDNA metabarcoding of faecal samples to quantify the dietary composition of two vervet monkey populations in a semi‐urban environment in South Africa over a 4‐month period, and compared these results with visual observations. We found that both methods yielded similar results, but eDNA metabarcoding revealed a greater diversity of consumed taxa.
