Assessing the Potential Conservation Role of Other Effective Area‐Based Conservation Measures in Relation to Seaweed Farming

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Other effective area‐based conservation measures (OECMs) offer opportunities to advance the Convention on Biological Diversity's ‘30 by 30’ conservation targets, while recognising greater stakeholder diversity, including industry, Indigenous peoples and local communities.

Evidence of Cheliped Autotomy and Regeneration in the Lower Miocene Crab Achelous monspeliensis From Portugal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Crab autotomy with evidence of regeneration is described for the first time in the fossil record. Autotomy is a defensive behavior that affects more males than females of Achelous monspeliensis and may be related to mating season. ABSTRACT Autotomy—the voluntary shedding of a limb as a defensive response to predation, intraspecific aggression, or ...

A Large-Scale Comparative Metagenomic Study Reveals the Functional Interactions in Six Bloom-Forming Microcystis-Epibiont Communities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Cyanobacterial blooms are worldwide issues of societal concern and scientific interest. Lake Taihu and Lake Dianchi, two of the largest lakes in China, have been suffering from annual Microcystis-based blooms over the past two decades.

Sessile macro-epibiotic community of solitary ascidians, ecosystem engineers in soft substrates of Potter Cove, Antarctica [PDF]

Polar Research, 2015
The muddy bottoms of inner Potter Cove, King George Island (Isla 25 de Mayo), South Shetlands, Antarctica, show a high density and richness of macrobenthic species, particularly ascidians.

Ulva lactuca Extract in Confectionery Systems: A Sustainable Approach to Natural Pigmentation, Antioxidant Enrichment, and Sensory Optimization in Fondant and Meringue Matrices

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study evaluated the functional potential of Ulva lactuca extract as a natural colorant and antioxidant incorporated into sugar‐based (fondant) and aerated (meringue) confectionery matrices. Extract incorporation significantly enriched total phenolic content—achieving up to 150.95 mg GAE/100 g dry matter in meringues—and surged antioxidant ...

Consensus on future research directions in the phylum Rotifera

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Rotifers play key roles in aquatic ecosystems, yet significant uncertainty remains about their diversity and evolution, and further evidence is needed to determine how reliably their responses to global change and human impacts can inform conservation.

Viral and Bacterial Epibionts in Thermally-Stressed Corals [PDF]

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
The periodic rise in seawater temperature is one of the main environmental determinants of coral bleaching. However, the direct incidence of these episodic thermal anomalies on coral-associated microbiota and their subsequent effects on coral health are still not completely understood. In this study, we investigated the dynamics of three main microbial

Annelid symbiont assemblage and European stone crayfish − a deterministic relationship with implications for conservation management

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2017
The protected European stone crayfish, Austropotamobius torrentium, is a host to epibionts inhabiting its exoskeleton. Despite evidence of the close association of these epibionts to the crayfish and the beneficial services provided for the crayfish, the

Aquatic macrophytes as nature‐based solutions: Challenges and opportunities across inland and coastal waters

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Macrophytes are foundation species whose use as nature‐based solution (NbS) in aquatic ecosystems can help reduce climate change impacts while mitigating biodiversity loss. The discrepancy in research and application of macrophytes as NbS across inland and marine coastal ecosystems is an opportunity to expand the concept and learn from ...

Fungi Associated With Freshwater Zooplankton Are Taxon‐Specific, Temporally Dynamic and Reflect Allochthonous Inputs

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 14, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The associations between microbes and planktonic invertebrates in freshwater ecosystems are considered key ecological interactions. However, our understanding of the structure, taxonomic specificity, and environmental drivers of zooplankton microbiomes remains poor.
