Integrating Acoustic Telemetry and Stable Isotope Data Reveals Overlap in Resource Use by Large‐Bodied Fishes in a Temperate Lake

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Temperate lake ecosystems undergo seasonal shifts that disproportionately alter the availability of suitable habitat for fishes of different thermal guilds. While many studies have investigated fish habitat use patterns, few have estimated the degree to which fish species overlap in space across seasons from a three‐dimensional perspective ...

A Spatial Clustering Approach of Economic Activities: An Application to the Agribusiness Sector in Brazil's Midwest Region

Geographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather

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

Evaluating Spatial Compliance of Protected Areas by Recreational Fishers and Resulting Ecological Responses of Temperate Rocky Reefs

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Protected areas (PA) are widely used to mitigate overfishing, but their conservation value depends on their size, age, take/no‐take regulations, compliance and enforcement. We evaluated fisher compliance of PAs within Barkley Sound, Canada, using recreational fishing effort location data from aerial surveys (2021–2023).

Ontogenetic Trophic Differentiation in the Amur Softshell Turtle (Pelodiscus maackii) From a Temperate Large‐River System

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We investigated ontogenetic variation in diet composition of the Amur softshell turtle (Pelodiscus maackii) from a temperate large‐river system using stomach content analyses of field‐collected individuals. Dietary composition differed markedly across body‐size classes, indicating pronounced ontogenetic trophic differentiation and shifts in resource ...

Genetic Structure and Signs of Local Adaptation in Icelandic Brown Trout Populations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We present here an assessment of the genetic structure of Icelandic brown trout across 40 locations, revealing 16 distinct genetic clusters shaped by postglacial isolation and local adaptation. Our research highlights that landlocked headwater populations exhibit significantly reduced genetic diversity compared to anadromous groups and identifies ...

Pesticide‐Free Rice Paddies Promote Diverse and Distinct Aquatic Invertebrate Communities in Cool‐Temperate Agroecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Freshwater wetlands are disappearing across agricultural landscapes, prompting interest in pesticide‐free rice paddies as multifunctional habitats. Across 2 years, rice paddies supported higher local macroinvertebrate density and richness than nearby natural wetlands, although wetlands maintained greater regional diversity and more heterogeneous ...
