Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 62, 9 November 2026.
Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

From Passive Drift to Olfactory Detection? A Late‐Stage Oceanic Juvenile Hawksbill's 9000‐km Journey Across the Western Indian Ocean

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
A juvenile hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata, CCL = 38 cm) was tracked for 201 days across 9129 km from the Mozambique Channel to Huvadhu Atoll, Maldives, with ocean current reanalysis showing that 74% of this distance resulted from passive drift by regional surface currents.

Copy Number Variation‐Based Molecular Sexing of Ixodes scapularis and Rhipicephalus microplus Immature Stages Using qPCR and ddPCR Approaches

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
We developed and validated a copy number variation (CNV)‐based molecular method to accurately determine the sex of immature ticks, Ixodes scapularis and Rhipicephalus microplus, which lack morphological sexual dimorphism. Using qPCR and ddPCR assays targeting female‐enriched genes, sex was reliably identified from DNA extracted non‐destructively from a

Conservation Implications of High Population Genetic Structure Detected in a Parasitic Fluke of Diamondback Terrapins

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
This study investigated the population genetic structure of the terrapin fluke (Pleurogonius malaclemys) along the US Atlantic coastline, hypothesizing that fluke structure reflects the limited dispersal and low connectivity of its definitive host, the diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin).

Sentipensar [Feel‐Thinking] Cultivates Collective Scientific Sensemaking and Worldbuilding Within and Beyond Ecological Despair

Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 6, Page 1596-1612, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Educating youth about environmental and climate justice is crucial in realizing a sustainable and flourishing future. Yet this can be challenging given the intense eco‐emotions youth experience and express while learning about these consequential realities and their implications.

Assessing the Health Impacts of Contaminants on Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Along the Southern Coast of Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 11, Page 1277-1288, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Among these contaminants are trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Green turtles can be employed to evaluate the oceans' health due to their coastal habitats and exposure to multiple threats.

Microplastic Contamination in Riverbank Sediment and Commercial Marine Fish in Eastern Sabah, Malaysia

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The occurrence of Microplastic (MP) pollution has been receiving more attention worldwide. However, to date, no comprehensive study has examined the occurrence and spatial distribution of microplastic pollution in Tawau, Eastern Sabah, Malaysia.
