Shaping research in marine functional connectivity for integrated and effective marine science and management

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1143-1180, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

Temporal shifts in kelp forest structure and distribution largely reflect recent ocean warming trends

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Ocean warming is driving the redistribution of species at a global scale. Biogeographic transition zones are hotspots of species range shifts, as both warm‐ and cold‐adapted species are found toward contrasting range edges. While anecdotal evidence suggests some distributional shifts have occurred in the northeast Atlantic, the empirical evidence base ...

Exploring Global Patterns of Trace Metal Limitation as a Regulator of the Distribution of Dominant Marine Phytoplankton Groups

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
By synthesizing decades of culture data with modern oceanographic datasets, we modelled trace metal limitation of phytoplankton. Our analysis reaffirms the critical role of iron but additionally highlights a significant, growing impact of zinc on the biological pump in future oceans.

Marine Parasite Biogeography Mirrors Host Patterns Across Latitude, Area, and Diversity

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Parasites are integral components of biodiversity, yet they remain poorly represented in large‐scale biogeographic theory. In this study, we test whether marine parasites follow three macroecological patterns established for free‐living taxa, namely that parasite species richness: (1) scales positively with area (both host body size and geographic area)

Integrating biotic interactions in niche analyses unravels patterns of community composition in clownfishes

Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Mutualistic interactions play a fundamental role in shaping species distributions, driving niche differentiation, and structuring communities. Yet their influence on realized niches and patterns of coexistence remains poorly understood. In clownfishes, mutualism with sea anemones underpins their biogeography and ecological success, with ...

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Effects of the Amazon River plume in benthic distribution across the Amazon-Guianas shelf

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Amazon–Guianas continental shelves form a highly dynamic tropical margin under the influence of the Amazon and Orinoco rivers. Regional circulation and river-derived nutrient inputs influence the delivery of particulate organic carbon (POC) to the ...

BIEN: A biodiversity informatics ecosystem advancing open and reproducible workflows for plant observation, plot and trait data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1556-1584, May 2026.
Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...

A Global, Taxon‐Stratified, High‐Resolution Sampling‐Effort Dataset From GBIF for Bias‐Aware Ecological Modelling

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction and Aim Spatiotemporal and taxonomic sampling bias in biodiversity occurrence data poses critical challenges for robust ecological inference, species distribution models (SDMs), and conservation planning. Despite the exponential growth in global biodiversity records over recent decades, these biases persist.
