Factors Influencing the Stocking of Juvenile Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 425-437, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Predator species of fish play crucial roles in ecosystem balance through top‐down control, a mechanism frequently exploited in biomanipulation to stock predator species. Juvenile pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) were stocked (n = 52,887) in spring 2023 and 2024 and autumn 2023 to compare stocking efficiency between Recirculation Aquaculture ...

Understanding the Motivations, Perceptions and Nutritional Implications of Plant‐Based Milk Consumption Compared to Dairy‐Based Milk

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Plant‐based milks have been increasing in popularity amongst Australian consumers, concurrent with a decrease in cow's milk consumption. Given the key role of cow's milk in Australian diets, it is necessary to understand the motivations behind this consumer behaviour and investigate the nutritional implications associated with this ...

‘Educative leisure’ and the art museum [PDF]

, 2012
This paper argues that although museums have increasingly changed their mission to embrace ‘spectacular’ and ‘commercial’ goals in recent decades, their audiences resist this redefinition of the museum’s role. Based on a structural equation model derived

From Hedonic Expectations to Adoption Intentions: An Explainable AI Approach to Consumer Response Toward Plant‐Based Meat Alternatives

Journal of Sensory Studies, Volume 41, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant‐based meat alternatives (PBMAs) have the potential to support dietary transitions; however, their real‐world impact depends critically on consumer acceptance, particularly in developing‐country markets where product access and opportunities for trial remain limited.

Into the Wild: Farm‐Derived Energy and Nutrients Enter Marine Food Webs With Carrying Capacity Implications for Aquaculture Management

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...

Shifting Seas, Changing Diets: Evidence of Temporal Dietary Shifts in Marine Megafauna in Southern Brazil (2017–2023)

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the dietary dynamics of marine megafauna is essential for interpreting ecological interactions and assessing environmental changes in marine ecosystems. We analysed temporal trends in the diets of eight megafaunal species, comprising marine mammals, seabirds, and sea turtles.

Size‐Dependent Habitat Selection in a Tropical Freshwater Crayfish: Preference for Vegetated Refugia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Young freshwater crayfish need shelter to survive, but it is often unclear whether they actively choose safe habitats or simply remain where they are found. We show that craylings and juvenile red claw crayfish prefer vegetated habitats over bare sand or gravel, and that this preference becomes stronger as crayfish grow.

Habitat Loss Shapes Isotopic Niche Responses of a Didelphid Opossum to Fragmentation in Neotropical Semideciduous Dry Forests of Central Brazil

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Stable isotope analysis indicates that fragmentation and habitat loss in semideciduous dry forests in the Brazilian Cerrado drive trophic niche shifts in Gracilinanus agilis, with potential consequences for its role as a seed disperser. ABSTRACT Habitat loss and fragmentation have notable effects on species' trophic ecology, often most pronounced in ...

How Large, Decayed, and Moist Must Rotting Logs Be to Act as Thermally Buffered Microhabitats in Temperate Eastern United States Forests?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study addresses the ecological role of coarse woody debris (CWD) as a thermally buffered microhabitat for saproxylic organisms in temperate eastern US forests. We measured internal and external log temperatures across four seasons in Southern Appalachian forests to test how log diameter, decay stage, and moisture influence thermal buffering.
