Continental accumulation of fads2 copy numbers allows sticklebacks to thrive across a diversity of nutritional landscapes

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Nutrients, including vital organic compounds, vary in availability across ecosystems, with the potential to act as a source of selection for traits that increase nutrient acquisition and biosynthesis. Compared to freshwaters, marine ecosystems are richer in the omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n‐3 LC‐PUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA ...

Ecological Restoration of a Cultivated Wetland to Enhance Nitrogen Retention in a Rapidly Developing Watershed

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract For much of the coastal United States, water quality continues to worsen due to excess nitrogen (N) from agricultural production and urban development. Restoration of freshwater wetlands, especially those connected to streams (i.e., fluvial wetlands), is a promising management option for curtailing watershed inputs of N to coastal embayments ...

More than just a margin: Local and landscape‐scale factors regulating the effects of riparian forest buffers on stream‐riparian ecosystems in urban and agricultural landscapes

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Riparian forest buffers support biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and food webs in human‐modified landscapes, and dampen land‐use and climate stressors (sediments, nutrients, thermal maxima), motivating their wider use in management. These outcomes were regulated by the presence or size of mostly small, mature buffers and sometimes by proximity among

The loss of an Indigenous‐maintained She‐Oak woodland in southeast Australia

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
A 2600‐year multi‐proxy palaeoecological record (pollen, charcoal, and sediment) from Balfour Swamp, east Gippsland, reveals the persistence of an open, grassy She‐Oak woodland maintained by GunaiKurnai. This vegetation community, resilient to climatic variability and fire, was lost following the disruption of Aboriginal land management and replaced by

Disentangling the Drivers of a Piscivorous Intra‐Annual Cohort and the Contributions of Three Cohorts to Early‐Year Class Strength in Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 784-798, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Using pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) as a model species, we investigated the factors influencing fluctuations in the abundance of piscivorous intra‐annual cohorts and assessed the role of three distinct cohorts: extremely small (ES), ordinary (or mid‐sized) fingerlings, and piscivorous in shaping year‐class strength.

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Controls on Phytoplankton Growth and Bacterioplankton Communities in Wetland Impoundments

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Nutrient enrichment in shallow lakes and ponds can shift systems from clear water, macrophyte dominance to turbid, phytoplankton dominance. Because the identity and threshold of the limiting nutrients vary among sites, system‐specific evidence is needed to guide water quality management. We conducted 3‐day in situ nutrient‐enrichment bioassays

Lines of dehiscence as a biomechanical strategy for controlling damage during blade development in the bull kelp Nereocystis luetkeana

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 1356-1366, August 2026.
Abstract Although tearing is most often considered mechanical damage, it plays a central role in blade development in the bull kelp Nereocystis luetkeana. Although developmental tearing has been described in other macrophytes, the presence of a line of dehiscence that directs fracture apart from reproduction or abscission remains rare and poorly ...
