A sensitivity-based procedure to select representative fish species for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive indicator development, applied to the Greater North Sea

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Harmonizing biodiversity assessments under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) at the pan-European level is a crucial task for the Regional Sea Conventions and EU Member States in the coming years, particularly for fish assessment in ...

Foraging Ecology and Fisheries Interactions of Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Inferred From Strandings in Western Iberian Atlantic Waters

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a resident species along the Portuguese mainland coast, yet knowledge of its stranding patterns and feeding ecology is scarce. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of strandings (n = 264, from 1980 to 2019) and feeding ecology based on stomach content analysis (n = 43 from 1997 to

Implementing and innovating marine monitoring approaches for assessing marine environmental status

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Marine environmental monitoring has tended to focus on site-specific methods of investigation. These traditional methods have low spatial and temporal resolution and are relatively labour intensive per unit area/time that they cover.

The Ameliorative Effect of Mahuang Fuzi and Shenzhuo Decoction on Membranous Nephropathy of Rodent Model is Associated With Autophagy and Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
The increased incidence of membranous nephropathy (MN) has made it the most common pathological type of primary nephrotic syndrome in adults in China. According to the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Mahuang Fuzi (Chinese ephedra and Radix ...

Strategic Roadmap for Addressing Microplastic Pollution in the Global South: Bridging Monitoring Gaps, Harmonizing Methods, and Building Analytical Capacity

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a growing environmental challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the Global South, where methodological fragmentation, funding discontinuity, and dependence on external analytical infrastructure limit the production of comparable data and the formulation of evidence‐based ...

eDNA signals improve local predictions of fish abundances in Mediterranean coastal ecosystems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study demonstrates that integrating eDNA metabarcoding data into species distribution models can improve fish abundance predictions, especially for site‐attached and reef‐associated species. This approach provides a scalable and cost‐effective tool for monitoring, impact assessment, spatial planning and adaptive management of marine resources ...

Multi-Scale Feature Dispersion: Towards Occlusion-Resilient Adversarial Patches for UAV Perception

Drones
Deep learning-based perception is fundamental to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), yet it remains vulnerable to physical adversarial patches. Existing methods for generating adversarial patches typically rely on localized key features, making them highly ...

Biogeographic Spread of the Non‐Indigenous Copepod Pseudodiaptomus marinus in Italian Waters—Insights by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive Surveys

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim This research investigates the distribution of the non‐indigenous calanoid copepod Pseudodiaptomus marinus Sato, 1913 in Italian coastal waters as retrieved by the data collected in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) programme in the 2015–2023 time window. Location Italian marine coastal waters, Mediterranean Sea.

ASSESSING THE STATE OF THE PELAGIC HABITAT: A CASE STUDY OF PLANKTON AND ITS ENVIRONMENT IN THE WESTERN IRISH SEA

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Much work had been undertaken on tracking change in the condition of marine pelagic ecosystems and on identifying regime shifts. However, it is also necessary to relate change to states of good ecosystem health or what the European Marine Strategy ...

Estimating ecological thresholds for good status using natural variation in reference conditions

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
The framework outlined here presents a transparent, robust, scalable and pressure‐independent approach to estimate the probability of an ecosystem component being in good status for a range of marine systems. This straightforward and easily understood approach can be used to estimate thresholds for good status where they are missing for ecological ...
