Expanding Knowledge of Sea Pen (Octocorallia: Pennatuloidea) Diversity and Distribution Through Integrative Taxonomy: Insights From Hong Kong's Coastal Waters

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Based on a combined molecular and morphological analysis, this study identifies nine sea pen species in Hong Kong's waters, including three newly described species. The findings provide new DNA sequences and clarify phylogenetic relationships, support revisions to Pennatuloidea systematics, and update species distributions in the Northwest Pacific ...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Plant–Soil–Enzyme Interactions in Intertidal Wetlands

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study reveals that during the exposure period in the Shengjin Lake intertidal wetland, the temporal gradient serves as the primary driving force for changes in the plant–soil–enzyme system, followed by alkaline phosphatase activity, nitrate nitrogen, and pH.

‘EcoCleanR': enhancing data quality of biogeographic ranges with application for marine invertebrates

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Published distribution data, while invaluable for understanding species' biogeography, often suffer from limitations such as dated and static representations of ranges, a bias toward latitudinal information, and lack of resolution in sampling frequency and variation in abundance throughout a species' distribution.

Morphological instability in restored intertidal flats: How anthropogenic structures drive early‐stage evolution

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
The study focusses on the morphological evolution of worldwide restored intertidal flats. These intertidal flats initially experience high sedimentation rates after the opening of the connection with open waters. The anthropogenic structures cause high morphological instability and are eroded, leading to a self‐cannibalisation of the system.

Quantifying river morphological changes using multi‐satellite observations and in situ measurements

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study integrates optical, radar and altimetry satellite data with river gauge measurements to estimate periodically submerged riverbed topography and quantify morphological change. By linking how often water covers the riverbed with water‐level variations, erosion and deposition patterns are mapped across a reach of Jamuna River.
