Effects of Body Size and Environmental Region on the Nutritional Value of Small Pelagic Species in the California Current

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 722-736, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We evaluated the effects of regional environment and body size on the nutritional traits of five small pelagic species differing in habitat use, feeding behavior, and importance as prey for top predators in the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME).

Population Structure of a Living Fossil, the Atlantic Horseshoe Crab, and Its Vulnerability in the Face of Imminent Climate Change

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Maintaining viable populations of the Atlantic horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, is a high conservation priority given their biomedical importance and keystone status in coastal‐marine ecosystems, a task made more difficult by impending climate change.

Mapping Seasonal Interaction Risk Between Harbour Porpoises and Gillnet Fisheries to Inform Management Thresholds

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT When empirical bycatch data are limited, risk‐based assessments offer a valuable tool for identifying areas where marine mammals and fisheries are most likely to interact. The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is among the most vulnerable to incidental capture in gillnet fisheries.

Environmental Drivers and Biogeographic Patterns of South American Endemic Ants: Insights From IUCN Red List Assessments

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim South American endemic ants play a central role in terrestrial ecosystems but remain poorly integrated into continent‐scale conservation assessments. Their distributions and community composition have likely been shaped by past climatic dynamics and persistent refugia.

Assessing the Progress of Stock Rebuilding in the Northeast Atlantic Against Levels That Can Produce Maximum Sustainable Yield

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 519-536, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Rebuilding fish stocks to levels above which they produce Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) is a management aim for all European commercially exploited stocks. Progress is typically monitored against the fishing mortality that produces MSY in the long term (FMSY), however, the corresponding biomass target (BMSY) is rarely evaluated nor reported.

Capelin Size, Condition, and Abundance Through Multiple Heatwaves in Alaska

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 413-429, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Capelin (Mallotus spp.) are pelagic forage fishes that can be especially abundant in sub‐arctic marine ecosystems and are important prey for upper trophic‐level consumers. Abundance and distribution of capelin have been linked to ocean temperature, but the magnitude and directionality of thermal sensitivity can vary regionally.

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.

Potential Impacts of Climate Interventions on Marine Ecosystems

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Rising global temperatures pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries. Recent comprehensive assessments suggest that large‐scale mitigation efforts to limit warming are falling short, and all feasible future climate projections, including those that represent optimistic emissions reductions, exceed the Paris ...

Geochemical Evidence for Retention of Particulate Carbon and Mercury Across the Romaine Land‐Ocean Aquatic Continuum

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The land‐to‐ocean aquatic continuum (LOAC) carries contaminants, nutrients, and particulate carbon (C) from inland aquatic systems to the sea, which can impact regional biogeochemical budgets and local ecosystem health. Climate change and other anthropogenic influences (e.g., hydroelectricity) will affect the LOAC across varied watersheds ...

Quantifying the unrecorded loss of avian phylogenetic diversity

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Humans have drastically reduced avian diversity, with the majority of extinctions occurring on islands. Previous studies have quantified various aspects of this decline, including both taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity loss due to recorded extinctions.
