Using Photographs in Fishers’ Ecological Knowledge Research: A Review and Field Study on Small‐Scale Fishers’ Knowledge of Coastal Habitats in the Central Mediterranean Sea

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Fishers interact daily with coastal environments, which generate a deep understanding of habitat characteristics, species associations and ecological change. Fishers’ ecological knowledge (FEK) is therefore a critical source of insight for marine science, offering observations that uniquely complement scientific data and, when incorporated ...

Inland Fishing Gear: Diversity, Classification, Management and Conservation Challenges

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This review highlights the diversity of fishing gear used in inland fisheries, particularly in small‐scale and artisanal fisheries worldwide. It focuses on gear regulation and management, emphasizing environmental impacts and associated conservation challenges, particularly the emerging problem of plastic pollution from fishing in aquatic ...

Optimising the Detection of Southern Toadlets (Pseudophryne semimarmorata): A Comparative Study of eDNA and Conventional Survey Methods

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate and reliable monitoring of amphibians is essential for informing their conservation. Pseudophryne semimarmorata (southern toadlet) is a species of endangered brood frog with a largely terrestrial life history that has experienced widespread decline across southern Australia.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Marine litter and microplastics in Okinawa marine ecosystems

Marine litter and microplastics in Okinawa marine ecosystems
Marine litter pollution has become a threat to marine ecosystems around the world. Usually dominated by plastic materials, the consequences of the presence of marine litter in marine ecosystems include transport and transfer of alien species, smoldering and trapping of marine organisms, ingestion by marine organisms, and release of chemical ...

Functional and Taxonomic Structuring of Ground‐Dwelling Spider Communities Under the Combined Effects of the Environment and Metal Contamination

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Through a field study along a metal contamination gradient, we propose a combined application of taxonomic and functional approaches to study the impacts of contamination on polyphagous predators, spiders. We have demonstrated a significant impact of metal contamination on spider communities, although it operates among a set of variables (e.g ...

Is Blood Thicker Than Water? The Influence of Kin Within a Bull Shark Social Network

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study investigates how kinship (“kinfluence”) shapes social structure in an aggregation of adult bull sharks in Fiji by integrating genomic relatedness, pedigree reconstruction, and detailed behavioral data. It reveals that while genetic relatedness has a small but significant influence on social behavior, especially among males, kin‐category ...

Influence of Burn Severity on Avifaunal Communities in Southern Tropical Dry Deciduous Forest, Western Ghats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Effects of burn severity [pyrodiversity] on avian community were studied in a tropical deciduous forest of Western Ghats. Bird community composition varied significantly across burn severity classes and the pyrodiversity‐biodiversity hypothesis was supported. Functional guilds showed contrasting patterns in the postfire environment.

Dominant Role of Habitat Transformation in Driving the Divergence of Health‐Risk Related Microbial Functional Genes in Karst Mountain Parks: A Metagenomic Study

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This manuscript elucidates the impact of transforming karst mountain forests into urban parks on health‐risk related microbial functional genes and its implications for mitigating potential public health exposures. Distinctively, the study advances prior research by evaluating the variation in health‐related functional genes within parks of varying ...
