Revisiting the status of the Arctic's Last Ice Area as a refuge for marine predators
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The Last Ice Area (LIA), located north of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and Greenland, has the Arctic's oldest and thickest sea ice. The LIA is hypothesized to be a potential climate refuge for ice‐dependent top predators as Arctic sea ice continues to decline.

Spatial assessment of recreational fishing displacement from marine protected areas
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs) to achieve healthy and resilient ecosystems is a proven conservation strategy to generate a wide range of ecological and socioeconomic benefits. However, the planning and design of MPAs must be well thought out to avoid unintended management consequences.

Diel and Artificial Light Effects on Nearshore Communities Revealed by eDNA Metabarcoding
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.Environmental DNA revealed rapid, taxon‐specific community reorganization across diel and artificial light conditions in a nearshore marine ecosystem. Distinct responses among trophic groups indicate that artificial light at night reshapes predator–prey interactions and community structure within 30 min of exposure.

Exploring Mesophotic Coral Reef Boundaries Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding reveals boundaries along depth gradients in shallow and mesophotic coral reefs. Analysis of metazoan amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) uncovers changes in community structure from shallow to deep reefs, highlighting a localized eDNA footprint and its potential for monitoring mesophotic and deep‐sea habitats ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.Species‐specific eDNA qPCR assays were developed and validated for blue, fin, and sei whales and were tested alongside visual surveys in the northwest Atlantic. Results show strong concordance for fin whales, demonstrating eDNA's value for enhancing offshore monitoring of at‐risk large whales.

Permanent nearshore sediment loss and inevitable retreat of cohesive bluff‐backed beaches
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.Net volume in survey control areas at the dune‐backed beach (PB) and bluff‐backed beach (LD) is shown between surveys (‘interval’), where the first point is the difference between 2012 and 2020 JABLTCX LiDAR surveys. Cumulative totals are shown as square markers. Water levels during the same dates are shown in grey.

Holistic analysis of shoreline change and mudbank dynamics across the Guiana coastline
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.Annual analysis of shoreline change across the entire Guiana coastline, northern South America, including quantification of the rate and nature of alongshore mudbank migration and cross‐shore mangrove establishment and loss was conducted. Identification of other key coastal landforms contributing to exceptional rates of shoreline change across the ...
