A Multi‐Taxa Approach to Estuarine Biomonitoring: Assessing Vertebrate Biodiversity and Ecological Continuity Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding in the Rance River (Brittany, France)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We applied eDNA metabarcoding to assess vertebrate diversity in the Rance Estuary, France, across five stations spanning marine to freshwater environments, including areas upstream and downstream of a tidal power plant dam. A total of 124 vertebrate MOTUs were detected, with community composition reflecting the estuarine gradient and species turnover ...

Predicting spatiotemporal persistence of rare species: An example with North Atlantic right whales

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Knowledge of when species remain in specified areas is essential for survey design, conservation, and management. Using species occurrence data to predict persistence in space and time (i.e., presence of one or more individuals of the species of interest within a defined spatial area over a duration of a specified number of days) may be ...

Numerical Investigation of Transonic Axial Compressor Rotor With Leading‐Edge Tubercles

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Amplitude, wavelength, and span‐wise location of the leading‐edge tubercles on a transonic NASA Rotor 37 compressor are numerically optimized. An increase in efficiency by 0.52% compared to the corresponding baseline rotor is observed. The location of the shockwave moves downstream of the rotor with 1.91% higher pressure.

Passive Acoustic Monitoring Reveals New Insights Into the Acoustic Occurrence and Foraging Activity of Hector's Dolphins in Porpoise Bay, New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.
To effectively mitigate disturbances from human activities on vulnerable dolphin populations, it is crucial to understand fine‐scale variation in habitat use. This study investigated the habitat utilisation of a small subpopulation of Hector's dolphins (Cephalorhynchus hectori) in Porpoise Bay, New Zealand.

A Novel Dual‐Clustering Approach for Identifying Hydrological Response Patterns From Catchment Characteristics and Environmental Changes

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Understanding how catchments respond to environmental changes is critical for water resource management. However, few studies have systematically linked catchment characteristics, environmental changes, and hydrological responses. Therefore, this study proposes a novel dual‐clustering approach for identifying hydrological response patterns. It

Severe Hearing Loss in the World's First Successfully Captive‐Born Yangtze Finless Porpoise: Impact of High Underwater Sound Exposure and Congenital Hearing Disorders

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 331-342, March 2026.
The audiogram of the world's first successfully captive‐born Yangtze finless porpoise was on average 40 dB higher than conspecifics. Congenital hearing disorders and noise exposure may be the primary cause of porpoise's hearing loss. ABSTRACT Aquariums globally have seen significant growth in recent decades.

Marine Mammals in the Anthropocene: Developing a Systematic Evidence Base of Threats to Nineteen Species

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species. There are knowledge gaps for species and threats, with effort unequal across many species' ranges.

Crafting the Ocean: The Geographies of Environmental World‐Making

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 1, March 2026.
Short Abstract The paper departs from existing analyses of ‘world making’, bringing cultural and environmental geographies into further conversation through linking theories of crafting and world‐making together, through the lens of the contemporary aquarium and nascent oceanic geographies.
