The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

Capelin Size, Condition, and Abundance Through Multiple Heatwaves in Alaska

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 413-429, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Capelin (Mallotus spp.) are pelagic forage fishes that can be especially abundant in sub‐arctic marine ecosystems and are important prey for upper trophic‐level consumers. Abundance and distribution of capelin have been linked to ocean temperature, but the magnitude and directionality of thermal sensitivity can vary regionally.

ANIS‐E: An Atlas of Marine Non‐Indigenous Species in Europe

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Motivation Non‐Indigenous Species (NIS) pose a major threat to global biodiversity and incur substantial environmental, economic and health costs. Yet, in marine ecosystems, invasion biogeography remains constrained by the limited availability of spatially explicit and consistently documented native range information, which is essential for ...

Primary Productivity and Habitat Depth Shape Developmental Mode in European Marine Gastropods

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Thorson's rule suggests that marine gastropods in colder, high‐latitude regions tend to have non‐pelagic (non‐drifting) larval development. However, this study on 94 European gastropod species found that the rule disappears when examined at finer spatial scales, with temperature and phylogeny having little influence.

Assessment of Bottom Trawl Impacts on the Status of Seabed Communities in European Seas

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 285-299, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Bottom trawling affects seabed habitats, but its large‐scale impacts remain poorly quantified. Assessment of trawling impacts is essential to support monitoring and achieving sustainability objectives under international conventions, sustainable development goals, and seafood certification programs.

Community structure and range shifts in Arctic marine fish under climate change

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Arctic marine ecosystems are rapidly transforming due to climate change. Warming temperatures and shrinking sea ice are enabling boreal fish to expand northward, possibly disturbing cold‐adapted Arctic species assemblages. Species range shifts have been documented in the Bering and Barents Seas, raising concerns about ecosystem restructuring.

Food intake of early juvenile western Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) during settlement transition

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 1, Page 258-271, January 2026.
Abstract This study examines the gut contents of 203 early juvenile Atlantic cod [17–101 mm ± 18.48 mm standard deviation (SD)] from the Western Baltic Sea (ICES Subdivision 22) collected between 2020 and 2022. According to the observed prey (proportion of pelagic, intermediate and benthic items) in the cod guts, settlement transition from a pelagic to

Contrasting Life History Characteristics Between Riverine and Lacustrine Anadromous Arctic Char (Salvelinus alpinus) in the Western Canadian Arctic

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Freshwater habitat characteristics are known to affect life‐history traits of migratory salmonids. Comparison of a riverine and lacustrine population anadromous Arctic char revealed significant tradeoffs in traits such as size, age, growth, maturity, migration, and mortality.

Borealisation of Plant Communities in the Arctic Is Driven by Boreal‐Tundra Species

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2025.
We found limited borealisation rates across the tundra biome. However, borealisation was greater in Eurasia, closer to the treeline, at higher elevations, in warmer and wetter regions, where climate change was limited and where initial boreal abundance was lower. Boreal species colonised tundra plots less often than Boreal‐Tundra species.

Spatial Distribution of Greenland Shark Somniosus microcephalus (Bloch & Schneider, 1801) Life Stages Across the Northern North Atlantic

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
This study analyzes the body length and sex composition of Greenland sharks across the northern North Atlantic and demonstrates distinct demographic distribution patterns. Areas with high occurrence of adult females, juveniles, or neonates are identified allowing for pinpointing locations of high biological importance for the species listed as ...
