Lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) growth and longevity estimated from adult capture–mark–recapture data

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective fishery management policy depends on accurate life‐history data, particularly for harvested species. Longevity is a core life‐history trait that is directly related to annual survival and lifetime reproductive potential, but fish longevity is generally not well documented, particularly for long‐lived species.

Marine mammals and sonar: Dose‐response studies, the risk‐disturbance hypothesis and the role of exposure context

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2017
Abstract Marine mammals may be negatively affected by anthropogenic noise. Behavioural response studies (BRS) aim to establish a relationship between noise exposure conditions (dose) from a potential stressor and associated behavioural responses of animals. A recent series of BRS have focused on the effects of naval sonar sounds on cetaceans.

Aquatic macrophytes as nature‐based solutions: Challenges and opportunities across inland and coastal waters

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Macrophytes are foundation species whose use as nature‐based solution (NbS) in aquatic ecosystems can help reduce climate change impacts while mitigating biodiversity loss. The discrepancy in research and application of macrophytes as NbS across inland and marine coastal ecosystems is an opportunity to expand the concept and learn from ...

The Importance of Individual Body Condition in Mammalian Behavioural Responses to Disturbance

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
Body condition, shaped by the balance between energy demands and reserves, predictably shapes mammalian disturbance responses. Poor‐condition individuals adopt needs‐based strategies, accepting greater risks to meet immediate energetic needs, while good‐condition individuals follow asset‐protection strategies, minimizing risks to protect their survival

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Seasonal and Diurnal Patterns of Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) Behavior and the Disruptive Effects of Vessel Presence in a High‐Traffic Coastal Habitat

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic anthropogenic activity is an ongoing threat to the marine environment and presents unique challenges in shallow, coastal habitats where harbor porpoises reside. Harbor porpoises have high metabolic needs and are highly susceptible to negative environmental factors; however, no long‐term studies have been conducted on wild populations ...

Unveiling Patterns in Cetacean Strandings Along Southern Atlantic Iberia: Temporal and Spatial Trends, Seasonality, and Causes of Death

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We compiled 46 years of cetacean strandings in the Algarve, Portugal, describing temporal–spatial patterns, size–sex structure, and causes of death (COD). We analyzed national records and years with a dedicated regional stranding network (SN) to assess annual/seasonal trends, spatial hotspots, and compare biometrics and COD.

A Comprehensive Review on the Significance of Antioxidants and Their Influence on Biopolymer Packaging Films: Recent Advances and Challenges

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Influence of antioxidants‐loaded biopolymer films on food security and extended shelf life. ABSTRACT Autooxidation is a significant cause of quality deterioration in food systems, leading to nutrient loss, off‐flavor formation, textural changes, and overall spoilage.

Chasing Fish: 130 Years of Innovation, Displacement and Depletion in Scottish Fisheries

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 227-247, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Rebuilding the depleted fisheries of the 21st century requires an understanding of past drivers of their decline. Despite Scotland's central role in the commercial exploitation of North Sea fisheries for over a century, associations between technological innovations, regulatory introductions and fishery landings have not previously been ...
