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

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
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.

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 ...
