Colonisation History of Freshwater Snails Across the Atlantic and Mediterranean Islands: Insights From Mercuria (Littorinimorpha, Hydrobiidae)

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

Multifactorial Role of Phytogenic CeO2 NPs in Crop Improvement and Stress Alleviation: A Mechanistic Overview

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates how CeO2 nanoparticles help plants withstand biotic and abiotic stresses. Their application reduces excessive ROS through enhanced antioxidant defenses, whereas modulating stress signaling, phytohormones, and gene expression.

Gastropods potential intermediate hosts of parasites in the region of Lençóis Maranhenses National Park/Brazil, an international tourist destination [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Several aquatic ecosystems present favorable conditions for the establishment of freshwater gastropod populations in Maranhão (Brazil). However, research on these snails in this Brazilian state is more focused on Baixada Maranhense, an endemic area for ...

Nanomaterials' Multigenerational Effects by Single and Joint Exposure in Non‐mammalian Models

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 957-974, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Nanotoxicology has mainly focused on single‐generation studies, leaving multigenerational toxicity underexplored. Having animal welfare recently gained importance, we aimed to provide the state‐of‐the‐art of knowledge about multigenerational effects in non‐mammalian models in the case of nanomaterials (NM) single and joint exposure to other ...

Crushing and Cutting: Shape Variation and Morphological Integration Between the Claws of Two Swimming Crab Species (Brachyura: Portunidae)

Acta Zoologica, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 450-459, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated shape variations and morphological integration between the components of crusher and cutter claws in two species of swimming crabs, Callinectes danae and Callinectes ornatus. The propodi and dactyli of the claws were analysed in males and females of both species, using geometric morphometric techniques to identify ...

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
