Artificial oyster reefs can facilitate the recovery of lost ecosystem function in fragmented seagrass habitat

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seagrasses suffer population decline when environmental stress exceeds physiological tolerance. In such instances, seagrass restoration can be successful if stressors are alleviated; however, many stressors cannot be addressed at a local scale. As such, seagrass restoration efforts often fail. In this study, we tested whether artificial oyster

Colonization and extinction mediate environmental effects on the phylogenetic diversity of invertebrate communities

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Phylogeny offers a powerful framework for understanding mechanisms driving community assembly. Yet, most empirical studies in community phylogenetics rely on observational approaches. In this study, we explore how two important drivers of community assembly—habitat size and predator presence—shape species richness and phylogenetic relatedness ...

Genetic Reference Gaps Limit eDNA Metabarcoding and Biodiversity Monitoring of Tropical Mangrove Ecosystems

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
This review reveals major genetic data gaps for Philippine mangrove fauna, especially invertebrates, limiting species‐level eDNA detection. By compiling 48 years of biodiversity records and assessing reference library coverage, it highlights the need for targeted sequencing and shows how integrating eDNA with conventional surveys strengthens monitoring

Comparative Assessment of Freshwater Biodiversity in Los Morales Reservoir (Madrid) Using eDNA Collected From Sponges and Water Filtration

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Filters and freshwater sponge tissue recover a comparable number of taxa through eDNA metabarcoding. Filters detect more taxa, followed by sponge tissue when host‐blocking primers are used. Each method reveals different community compositions, so combining both approaches is recommended to achieve a more realistic representation of the metazoan ...

Detection Without Establishment: Limits of Environmental DNA Inference in Highly Connected Port Systems

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
In highly connected port systems, eDNA detections frequently reflect transport and exposure rather than population establishment. Interpreting these signals requires integrating molecular data with ecological context and temporal replication. ABSTRACT Molecular surveillance tools, particularly environmental DNA (eDNA), metabarcoding, and species ...
