Morphological and genetic analysis for the diversity conservation of rare species, Thamnaconus multilineatus (Tetraodontiformes: Monacanthidae) [PDF]
PLoS ONEClimate changes have altered biodiversity and ultimately induced community changes that have threatened the survival of certain aquatic organisms such as fish species.

Corals and Reef‐Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems [PDF]
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

Associations between fishes (Actinopterygii: Teleostei) and anthozoans (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia) in epipelagic waters based on in situ records [PDF]
Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 6, Page 2166-2172, December 2025.Abstract We formally describe the association of fishes and anthozoans in epipelagic waters, extending this relationship to beyond the benthos. In situ observations and photographs of Aluterus schoepfii, Ariomma regulus, Caranx cf. latus and Brama spp.

Evaluating Prey Availability for the Rice's Whale (Balaenoptera ricei) Based on Environmental DNA [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.To characterize the prey community of the critically endangered Rice's whale, we employed environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding in its core habitat. Our multi‐marker approach detected significantly greater fish biodiversity than concurrent trawl surveys and revealed a higher prevalence of key prey taxa.

Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.In Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.

Assessment of a Social Media‐Based Method for Determining Raptor Diet [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.This study mined social media as a citizen science method to reduce the time burden and biases associated with recording accurate diet information for predators. In total, 1985 prey observations were recorded of two Australian coastal raptors and were used to produce diet profiles that were compared by region, social media platform, and against other ...

DNA Metabarcoding Reveals the Diet and Conservation Needs of the Chinese Crested Tern and Greater Crested Terns in Zhejiang Breeding Islands [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study employs DNA metabarcoding to analyze the diet composition of the critically endangered Chinese crested tern and the greater crested tern during their breeding season in Zhejiang. The terns primarily consume epipelagic schooling fish like anchovies and mackerel, with minimal overlap with commercial fisheries (< 5% commercial fish).
