Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim The biogeography and evolution of South African sea cucumbers have been previously explored; however, these aspects lack detailed study. This study (1) explores the biogeography of sea cucumbers along the coastline of South Africa (SA) and (2) presents a preliminary molecular phylogeny based on the mitochondrial 16S marker.

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2026.Abstract The Rowley Shoals, off northwestern Australia, are renowned as a biodiversity hotspot. This remote system comprises three atolls, Clerke, Imperieuse and Mermaid, which in recent years have been increasingly targeted by illegal fishing, a pressure rising across the Indo‐Pacific.

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline
The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

CCFF‐Net: Cross‐Channel Feature Fusion Network for Underwater Object Detection
IET Image Processing, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.Challenging underwater environmental conditions lead to severe degradation of underwater images, such as intensity attenuation and colour distortion. This issue causes incomplete feature representation of underwater objects, posing difficulties to state‐of‐the‐art detectors.

IET Image Processing, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.We propose YOLOViT‐DETECT, a hybrid model combining an enhanced YOLOv8 with a spatial attention module for fish detection and a ViT‐B/16 transformer for species classification. The method achieves high accuracy in challenging underwater environments, outperforming standalone models.
