Beyond the Paddy Fields: Riparian Reed Beds as Essential Natural Habitat for the Critically Endangered Suweon Treefrog, Dryophytes suweonensis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This figure shows the true habitat type of Dryophytes suweonensis that this paper aims to demonstrate. ABSTRACT The Suweon treefrog (Dryophytes suweonensis (Kuramoto, 1980)), a critically endangered amphibian endemic to the Korean Peninsula, is widely regarded as being closely associated with rice paddies.

Macrophyte Coverage Increases Largemouth Bass Abundance and Trophy Potential: A Resist‐Accept‐Direct (RAD) Application for Aquatic Plant Management in North‐Temperate Lakes

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries
Climate change is altering north‐temperate lake ecosystems through warming and increased aquatic macrophyte production. These changes have the potential to cause ecosystem shifts that challenge status quo fisheries management and require the adoption of ...

Desiccation to DNA: Bulk DNA Metabarcoding of Macroinvertebrate Egg Banks via Sugar‐Flotation Enhances Biodiversity Surveys of Dry Salt Lakes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Ephemeral salt lakes in arid Australia contain hidden macroinvertebrate biodiversity in sediment egg banks, but traditional artificial rehydration surveys may miss taxa with specific or poorly understood hatching requirements. This study found that sugar‐flotation followed by DNA metabarcoding greatly improved detection of resting‐stage taxa compared ...

PondNet – towards a global network of experiments on the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Global change is reshaping the distribution of biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Predicting the long‐term consequences of such changes remains a challenge due to a need for a clear understanding of the mechanisms underpinning ecosystem‐level responses, as well as the role of geographical and environmental contingencies.

Dune grass production is positively associated with marine nutrient subsidies on US Central Atlantic coast foredunes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Resource subsidies, or the flow of energy across ecosystem boundaries, can influence community structure and function and act as important nutrient sources to less productive ecosystems, particularly in marine and coastal zones. Coastal dunes, connected to the nearshore through sandy beaches, likely depend on the delivery of marine subsidies ...

Small Ponds as Carbon Emission and Burial Hotspots in Lowland Agricultural Landscape

open access: yesEarth's Future
Clarifying carbon (C) cycling in small ponds is vital for understanding C transport in lowland agricultural landscape. Quantifying C flux is crucial for learning C cycling, but is challenging due to its complex cycling and significant impacts from ...

Trait‐based responses of nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacteria to nitrogen limitation and light availability: Insights from 45 years of monitoring

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The degree to which N2‐fixation compensates for reduced external nitrogen loading has significant implications for eutrophication recovery. We analyzed 45 years of monitoring data from the shallow, polymictic Lake Müggelsee during which external P‐ and N‐loading declined by about 80% and there were extended periods of N‐limitation in summer ...

An optimized CTAB method for genomic DNA extraction from green seaweeds (Ulvophyceae)

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences
Premise Seaweeds are gaining substantial research interest, particularly for genomic applications, where high‐quality DNA is a prerequisite. Extracting DNA from these organisms presents challenges due to high levels of biomacromolecules resulting from ...

Spatial variability of hydrodynamics in oyster reefs: Investigating the impact of canopy density on mean and turbulent flows

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This field study investigated how oyster canopy density modulates hydrodynamics of natural intertidal oyster reef. High‐resolution velocity measurements were taken simultaneously within and above oyster canopies of variable density (solid volume fractions, Ø=$$ \mathrm{\O}= $$ 0.04–0.21).

Quantifying temporal dynamics of greenhouse gas emissions in lake mesocosms: Deployment of a low‐cost measurement system

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from freshwater ecosystems contribute significantly to global carbon budgets, yet they remain poorly constrained due to limited high‐frequency measurements. We tested a low‐cost, high‐frequency GHG measurement system in a long‐term mesocosm experiment in Lemming, Denmark, over a 7‐month period, focusing on CO2 ...
