Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 356-372, June 2026.ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1851-1866, June 2026.Abstract Environmental tracers, including both elemental concentrations and isotope ratios, are widely used to reconstruct the movement patterns of animals throughout landscapes. The methodology involves creating a map that describes the distribution of the environmental tracer across the landscape, an isoscape and then matching the values of the same ...

Freshwater mussels prefer a diet of stramenopiles and fungi over bacteria
Scientific ReportsFreshwater mussels (Mollusca: Unionidae) play a crucial role in freshwater river environments where they live in multi-species aggregations and often serve as long-lived benthic ecosystem engineers.

An integrated approach to balance freshwater connectivity restoration and invasion risk
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Habitat fragmentation negatively affects many native migratory fish populations. However, this fragmentation can also prevent the spread and establishment of invasive species. We modified the dendritic connectivity index (DCI), a commonly used freshwater connectivity metric, to account for multiple invasive dispersal pathways in estimates of ...

Freshwater Navigation Is Linked to Non‐Native Species Distributions Across Spatial Scales
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Invasive species are among the most important drivers of native species declines, and cause serious economic and ecological costs. Globally, Europe is a hotspot for freshwater non‐native species, especially among macroinvertebrates and fish, and inland navigation is thought to be a major driver of their spread. However, the degree to which

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Natural populations are increasingly exposed to multiple stressors, such as chemical pollution and climate‐change‐driven heatwaves. While it has become clear that we need to account for stressor interactions, it is less well understood how sequential exposure to different stressors influences organismal responses as well as their potential for

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT For more than 50 years, Lake Ontario has experienced continuous ecological change. The causes and consequences of these changes are only partially understood. Existing monitoring and management programs collect lake‐wide data and provide results and recommendations on perceived lake‐wide processes, potentially overlooking regionally important ...
