Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract This study examined the spatiotemporal variability in geotechnical properties of beach cusp sediments on a sandy beach and tested if such variability can be used for cusp monitoring from satellite imagery. Specifically, sediment properties (including moisture content (w), relative density (Dr), sediment strength (QSBC) and friction angle (ϕ ...

Habitat characteristics drive fish recruitment enhancement in threatened coastal nursery habitats
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Our findings underscore the importance of habitat attributes and physical settings as the key predictors of fish enhancement across threatened coastal nurseries of North America. Restoration and management efforts should aim to optimize these factors to maximize fish recruitment potential amid ecosystem degradation. Abstract Structured coastal habitats

Latitudinal Gradients of Species Richness in Marine Benthos: Insights From Japan's Tidal Flat Areas
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.Latitudinal diversity gradients in species richness were observed in the coasts of Japan. Extensive tidal flats and biogeographical connectivity to the Eurasian Continent may cause the unexpected peak in species diversity at the Kyushu region. Mollusca was the dominant taxonomic group, followed by Malacostraca, Annelida, and other benthic groups ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.ABSTRACT Spiders are renowned for their ecological versatility and silk‐based innovations in materials science, yet marine environments remain virtually uncolonized by this predominantly terrestrial lineage. A striking exception is the obligate intertidal spider genus Desis, whose members have evolved extraordinary physiological and behavioural ...

A national assessment of waterbird hunting in coastal wetlands of Suriname, South America
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.We examined waterbird harvest levels in Suriname using hunter survey data from 2006 and 2016. The analysis showed a significant decline in the average harvest per hunter over the decade, except for blue‐winged teal and migratory shorebirds. However, the sustainability of current harvest levels remains uncertain, underscoring the need for a national ...
