Misplaced fears? What the evidence reveals of the ecological effects of tidal power generation

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Marine energy (tidal range and stream/flow) is a dependable and clean power source that stands out as a compelling alternative to fossil fuels. Despite widespread concerns surrounding the ecological effects of tidal energy infrastructure, we find few of these are substantiated by evidence or long‐term monitoring of existing tidal power projects.

A Long‐Standing Taxonomic Puzzle: Species Delimitation and Phylogenetic Analysis Reveal New Findings in Neogoniolithon (Spongitidaceae, Corallinophycidae and Rhodophyta) From the Southwestern Atlantic

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT In the first study on Neogoniolithon species for the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean, based on both molecular (COI‐5P, psbA and SSU rDNA) and morpho‐anatomical data, three taxa were identified for the Brazilian coast, including two new species. DNA‐based species delimitation methods distinguished Neogoniolithon crypticum sp. nov.

Mapping priority areas to mitigate the risk of electrocution of range‐restricted bird species

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2787-2799, October 2025.
Our study proposes a framework to identify areas with higher electrocution risk, which can be used even in data‐scarce regions or adapted to a multi‐species assessment context. This approach can support proactive strategies for energy companies with an initial assessment identifying areas to avoid installing new power lines, evaluating sites for ...

Modeling nature‐based restoration potential across aquatic–terrestrial boundaries

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Today, few watersheds remain untouched by global change processes arising from climate warming, impoundments, channelization, water extraction, pollution, and urbanization. The need for restoration has resulted in a myriad of interventions, generally performed at small scales, which have limited measurable impact in restoring biodiversity and

Racing Amidst Change: Urbanization and Climate Alter Functional Traits and Distribution of an Amazonian Parthenogenetic Lizard

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.
By comparing native and neonative populations of an Amazonian lizard, we examine how urban environments and climate change impact its functional traits, while also predicting its future distribution. Our findings offer insights into how some species may adapt to human‐altered landscapes, showing that not all are negatively affected by these changes ...

Effects of protection on large‐bodied reef fishes in the western Indian Ocean

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract Predatory and large‐bodied coral reef fishes have fundamental roles in the functioning and biodiversity of coral reef ecosystems, but their populations are declining, largely due to overexploitation in fisheries. These fishes include sharks, groupers, Humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus), and Green Humphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum).
