Why we age

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 911-925, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

Geographic Patterns of Intra‐ and Interspecific Diversity of Riverine Fish Species in the Italian Northern Apennines and Ligurian Alps

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We investigated the suitability of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to identify inter‐ and intraspecific diversity patterns of riverine fish populations across the Adriatic and Ligurian drainage basins in Northern Italy. Our results revealed genetic as well as community differentiations, with the Adriatic side displaying higher taxon richness ...

Dietary essential oils modulate post‐mortem oxidative damage in trout fillets exposed to slaughter stress during frozen storage

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3686-3695, April 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Slaughter is a critical phase in aquaculture that can severely compromise both animal welfare and product quality. Stress responses triggered during this stage may accelerate post‐mortem biochemical degradation and promote oxidative damage in fish fillets. Essential oils, known for their antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties,

Signatures of Wild Animal Life in Earth's Landscapes

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Animals shape Earth surface processes and landforms by displacing Earth surface materials and by making them more or less susceptible to geophysical processes. Despite increased recognition of the global significance of animal landscape “signatures”, analysis of their magnitude and generality has not been possible until now.

No Groundwater, No Fish: The Critical Role of Groundwater in Supporting Non‐Glacial, Salmon‐Bearing Rivers in South‐Central Alaska

open access: yesJAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundwater discharge plays an important role in the hydrologic and ecologic functioning of rivers including sustaining streamflow and related habitat year‐round. Simultaneously, groundwater supports the increasing demands of people as the global population continues to grow.
