Where Are You From? Finding the Origin of the Recently Observed Sprat in Iceland Using a Panel of SNPs [PDF]
Ecol EvolEuropean sprat can be divided into distinct genetic groups in the NE Atlantic, that is, Norwegian fjords, Baltic Sea and an oceanic component. The species has been increasingly reported in Icelandic waters since 2017. To investigate the source of introduction, Icelandic sprat has been genotyped and analyzed in comparison with existing reference data ...

ANIS‐E: An Atlas of Marine Non‐Indigenous Species in Europe
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Motivation Non‐Indigenous Species (NIS) pose a major threat to global biodiversity and incur substantial environmental, economic and health costs. Yet, in marine ecosystems, invasion biogeography remains constrained by the limited availability of spatially explicit and consistently documented native range information, which is essential for ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Aim To identify Neotropical ecoregions experiencing compound environmental exposure to El Niño/La Niña‐driven climate variability, deforestation trends and fire‐induced forest loss. Location Neotropical realm. Methods We quantified historical exposure to ENSO‐related climate variability by correlating the Oceanic Niño Index with four ...

Primary Productivity and Habitat Depth Shape Developmental Mode in European Marine Gastropods
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Thorson's rule suggests that marine gastropods in colder, high‐latitude regions tend to have non‐pelagic (non‐drifting) larval development. However, this study on 94 European gastropod species found that the rule disappears when examined at finer spatial scales, with temperature and phylogeny having little influence.

Assessment of Bottom Trawl Impacts on the Status of Seabed Communities in European Seas
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 285-299, March 2026.ABSTRACT Bottom trawling affects seabed habitats, but its large‐scale impacts remain poorly quantified. Assessment of trawling impacts is essential to support monitoring and achieving sustainability objectives under international conventions, sustainable development goals, and seafood certification programs.

Climate‐linked evolution and genetics in a warming Arctic
Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Knowledge of evolutionary patterns and genetic variation across a species' range is important for determining conservation and management strategies. The Arctic is the fastest‐warming ecosystem on Earth and has already reached temperature increases not expected in the rest of the world until the end of the century.

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Large old trees are widely recognized as ecologically important across forest landscapes and concern regarding the decline of these trees is well documented because of their role in maintaining biodiversity for a broad range of organisms. In response to a growing need to inventory such trees, we developed and present the methodology to map and

Community structure and range shifts in Arctic marine fish under climate change
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Arctic marine ecosystems are rapidly transforming due to climate change. Warming temperatures and shrinking sea ice are enabling boreal fish to expand northward, possibly disturbing cold‐adapted Arctic species assemblages. Species range shifts have been documented in the Bering and Barents Seas, raising concerns about ecosystem restructuring.

Food intake of early juvenile western Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) during settlement transition
Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 1, Page 258-271, January 2026.Abstract This study examines the gut contents of 203 early juvenile Atlantic cod [17–101 mm ± 18.48 mm standard deviation (SD)] from the Western Baltic Sea (ICES Subdivision 22) collected between 2020 and 2022. According to the observed prey (proportion of pelagic, intermediate and benthic items) in the cod guts, settlement transition from a pelagic to

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Freshwater habitat characteristics are known to affect life‐history traits of migratory salmonids. Comparison of a riverine and lacustrine population anadromous Arctic char revealed significant tradeoffs in traits such as size, age, growth, maturity, migration, and mortality.
