Taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia (Acanthaceae) in India
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.A taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia in India was undertaken through extensive field surveys and critical examination of herbarium specimens. Three taxa, Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina subsp. marina, and Avicennia officinalis, are described in detail. A synonymic list was compiled using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP)

Metagenomic Insights Into Red Sea Biodiversity Across the Web of Life
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2026.Deep‐sequencing shotgun metagenomics of Red Sea benthic sediments reveals biodiversity across the web of life, from viruses to animals. Despite the strong dominance of prokaryotic DNA, low‐abundance eukaryotic reads capture broad taxonomic diversity. Open‐ocean communities are primarily structured by depth, whereas coastal eukaryotic communities follow

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 435-443, July/August 2026.This study established the first fecal hormonal reference values (P4/E2) for the Greater Caribbean manatee. Using non‐invasive ELISA, the authors found no significant differences between mature and immature females, highlighting that long‐term monitoring and ultrasounds are essential to fully understand their complex reproductive cycles.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Shark bite scars were analysed on coastal dolphins in southeast Queensland, Australia to compare the predation risk between species and habitats. Australian humpback dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) exhibited the highest bite rates and individuals found in sheltered waters had higher shark bite scar prevalence than open waters.

Oryx, 1970 The Ceylon Government, in February 1970, gave the dugong complete protection. Nevertheless, the authors conclude, following their three-month investigation this year, that this valuable and once abundant marine mammal is in grave danger in Ceylon, largely as a result of the intensive fishing with modern equipment, notably the nylon nets in which many ...

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...
