A Field Guide to Corralling the Chaos: A Planning Framework for Using Models to Guide Opportunistic Field Studies of Natural Disturbances

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Watersheds regulate biogeochemical processes and provide ecosystem services to human societies, but disturbances can fundamentally alter these processes across space and time. Determining when and where to sample to capture disturbance impacts in watersheds remains a central challenge.

Market Systems Integration in Zambia's Aquaculture Sector: A Scoping Review of Value Chains, Supply Chains and Sustainability Challenges

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture is increasingly important to food security, nutrition, livelihoods and economic development in Zambia, yet sectoral growth depends on more than production capacity. This scoping review synthesised evidence on Zambia's aquaculture market systems, focusing on value chains, supply chains and persistent evidence gaps.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

The Effect of Temperature, Flow, Density and Disease on Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) Early Life Growth Rate

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Individual growth rates of fish are influenced by gradually changing environmental conditions and rapid‐onset events. However, there is a paucity of information on drivers of spatiotemporal variability in growth rates of fishes across large spatial extents.

Exploring the significance of Kenya's indigenous and emerging blue foods for sustainable aquaculture development. A review

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Kenya's aquaculture sector is at a pivotal stage, transitioning from a historical reliance on Nile tilapia and African catfish toward a more diversified production portfolio that integrates indigenous and emerging freshwater and marine species. This shift is increasingly recognized as essential to enhance climate resilience, food security, and

Reflooding the coupled human and natural system of the Waza-Logone Floodplain, Cameroon

Frontiers in Conservation Science
The rewilding framework is used to guide the restoration of ecological processes in natural systems, but the framework can also be used in the restoration of social and ecological processes in coupled human and natural systems.

Outcrop and subsurface characterisation of a mixed tidal and wave‐influenced coastline (Triassic Red Beds, SE Spain)

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2381-2416, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Paralic depositional systems are complex and heterogeneous sedimentary environments, presenting challenges for predicting reservoir architecture and connectivity. Their stratigraphic and facies variability arises from the dynamic interplay between fluvial, tidal and wave processes, and their sensitivity to sea‐level fluctuations, sediment ...

Revealing the Discrepancy Between Ecosystem Service Flows and Public Perception in Heavily Impacted Lowland Rivers of Armenia

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT River ecosystems are increasingly vulnerable to intensified human pressures associated with population growth and rising living standards, leading to structural changes and altered ecosystem service (ES) provision. The lower course of the Hrazdan River (Armenia) exemplifies these impacts, as it flows through Yerevan, the capital city, and ...

Effects of Meadow Connectivity on Plant Diversity in China's Poyang Lake: New Perspective of Effective Biodiversity Conservation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Higher meadow connectivity leads to greater plant species richness but also increases plant community similarity. Functional connectivity explains plant diversity patterns better than structural connectivity. ABSTRACT The increasing global habitat fragmentation has led to a marked decline in landscape connectivity, posing a severe threat to ...
