The consequences of partial clonality on the spatiotemporal genetic structure of the red alga Chondria tumulosa (Ceramiales, Rhodophyta)

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 1536-1563, October 2026.
Abstract The relative rates of sexual versus clonal reproduction partition genetic diversity, but the quantification of these rates remains limited in natural populations. This knowledge gap is particularly acute among tropical macroalgae. Chondria tumulosa is a red macroalga that has been documented at high abundance in the three northernmost atolls ...

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

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

Genomic Structure Predicts Granulovirus Resistance Without a Detectable Life‐History Trade‐Off in Plodia interpunctella

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the genetic architecture of pathogen resistance and its relationship to host life‐history traits is a fundamental problem in evolutionary biology, yet the conditions under which resistance costs manifest as detectable trade‐offs remain poorly understood.

Limited Lifetime Costs of Inbreeding in a Large Wild Population of Superb Fairy‐Wrens

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Inbreeding depression can have major negative effects on both individual fitness and population performance. The impact of inbreeding depression in wild populations remains poorly understood, and our knowledge is primarily based on estimations in insular populations with limited dispersal, which has been predicted to enhance the capacity for ...

Advancing Marine Mammal Conservation Through Omics Tools and Integration of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Conservation of biodiversity is a global priority as human‐driven pressures continue to intensify and alter ecosystems worldwide. Marine mammals are vulnerable species, facing numerous escalating anthropogenic threats. Here, we evaluate how, as omics technologies become more accessible and affordable, established and emerging tools are ...

Genomic Vulnerability of a Threatened Possum in a Biodiversity and Climate Change Hotspot

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Spatial variation in the magnitude and pace of climate change impacts means some species will be more affected than others. This includes those occurring within global biodiversity hotspots, regions with exceptional concentrations of endemic species that have often been shaped by long‐term climatic stability.
