Target Capture of Ancient Shell DNA Enables Phylogenetic Reconstruction of Deep‐Sea Molluscs

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Target capture is widely used to enrich endogenous DNA from calcium phosphate skeletal material in vertebrates, but its performance on calcium carbonate hard parts widely produced by invertebrates remains poorly understood. Here, we compared DNA recovery from four fresh and 12 ancient (eight radiocarbon‐dated to 1671–1135 years old before ...

Successful reintroduction of the land snail Poecilozonites bermudensis on the Bermuda archipelago

Oryx
Land snails of the genus Poecilozonites, endemic to Bermuda, have undergone precipitous declines, and both extant species, P. bermudensis and P. circumfirmatus, are categorized as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List.

DeepZoo: A cost‐effective and modular sampler for ecological studies in the deep ocean

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 10, Page 2895-2908, October 2026.
Abstract Understanding the structure and dynamics of deep‐ocean communities requires effective sampling of pelagic organisms in near‐bottom waters. These dispersive organisms contribute to biodiversity, connectivity and ecosystem recovery. Yet, current sampling methods remain constrained by size, cost, and depth, leaving key questions unanswered in ...

Marine rewilding principles as a guiding framework for large‐scale ecosystem restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
As marine ecosystems face accelerating degradation from human pressures, interest is growing in approaches that move beyond protection toward active recovery of ecological processes. This article introduces marine rewilding as a forward‐looking framework and synthesizes ecological and social science to develop eight transdisciplinary principles that ...

Limited Dispersal Drives Strong Genetic Structure in the Commercially Harvested Gastropod Buccinum undatum in the Western North Atlantic

Evolutionary Applications
Direct‐developing species lack the pelagic larval phase which facilitates connectivity in most marine species. Consequently, they tend to exhibit spatially restricted dispersal and increased population structure.

Altered photoperiod affects behaviour in a key fish grazer, the thinlip grey mullet, Chelon ramada

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 2130-2146, October 2026.
Abstract The aim of this study is to address experimentally the immediate impacts of an alteration of the photoperiod, simulating an extreme artificial light pollution, on the behaviour and stress of a key grazer fish common in temperate coastal ecosystems in Europe, the thinlip grey mullet, Chelon ramada.

Insights into diet and niche separation in the context of prey availability between two sympatric whiprays in a tropical intertidal estuary

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 2248-2262, October 2026.
Abstract Increasing evidence supports associations between various elasmobranch species and estuarine habitats, particularly during early life stages. However, with substantial knowledge gaps surrounding spatial habitat use and trophic ecology of estuary‐associated species in Australia, we cannot reliably assess the functional importance of these areas

Trophic niche overlap between native and non‐native fishes in central Anatolian lakes, Türkiye

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 2272-2287, October 2026.
Abstract The Central Anatolian region of Türkiye exhibits exceptionally high freshwater fish diversity and endemism and is increasingly exposed to the introduction of non‐native taxa. We examined the diet composition, prey selectivity and interspecific dietary overlap among eight native and five non‐native fish species across seven lakes in Central ...

Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) gametophytes grow endophytically in red macroalgae: Implications for kelp restoration

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 1633-1644, October 2026.
Abstract Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forests have declined by 95% in Australia since the 1970s due to climate change. Despite expanding restoration efforts, long‐term recovery is still lacking. Factors influencing recruitment by the microscopic gametophyte phase may represent a key mechanism underpinning the successful recovery and restoration of

Genomic analyses of giant kelp reveal restricted connectivity across the Southern Hemisphere and striking diversity in Aotearoa (New Zealand)

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 1618-1632, October 2026.
Abstract The macroalga Macrocystis pyrifera (“giant” or “bladder” kelp) plays a vital role in cold‐temperate marine ecosystems but faces increasing threats from ongoing environmental change. Understanding its population diversity and connectivity is essential for predicting future range shifts and assessing the ecological consequences of such shifts in
