Food Web Properties and the Type of Invasive Species Make the Ecosystem Vulnerable to Invasion
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Invasive species have long been acknowledged as potentially severe dangers to native ecosystems. Although some work has also been done with empirical food webs, more information is still needed to shed light on the cascading effects of invasive species in aquatic ecosystems.

The Economic Argument for Cleaning Up the Chesapeake Bay and its Rivers [PDF]
, 2012 Failure to "Save the Bay" threatens the Bay's value as an economic driver. Conversely, investing in clean-water technology creates jobs, generates economic activity, and saves money in the long run. Hence, the protection and restoration of the Chesapeake

Climate and Land‐Use Change May Reshape the Biogeography of Freshwater Crabs Across China
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.We employed ensemble species distribution models to investigate how climate and land‐use change will impact habitat suitability for two freshwater crab families (Potamidae and Sesarmidae) across China. Temperature emerged as the dominant driver, with cropland and urban land having strong, family‐specific effects on suitability. Future scenarios predict

Size‐Dependent Habitat Selection in a Tropical Freshwater Crayfish: Preference for Vegetated Refugia
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Young freshwater crayfish need shelter to survive, but it is often unclear whether they actively choose safe habitats or simply remain where they are found. We show that craylings and juvenile red claw crayfish prefer vegetated habitats over bare sand or gravel, and that this preference becomes stronger as crayfish grow.

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.This review reveals major genetic data gaps for Philippine mangrove fauna, especially invertebrates, limiting species‐level eDNA detection. By compiling 48 years of biodiversity records and assessing reference library coverage, it highlights the need for targeted sequencing and shows how integrating eDNA with conventional surveys strengthens monitoring

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1117-1127, May 2026.Abstract This study critically analyses the main narratives surrounding the Atlantic blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) in the Lagoon of Venice. We used a mixed‐method approach, performing a qualitative discourse analysis on a sample of 68 textual sources to identify the narratives across two sectors in the management of the case study: media and politics,
