Microbial education plays a crucial role in harnessing the beneficial properties of microbiota for infectious disease protection in Crassostrea gigas

Scientific Reports
The increase in marine diseases, particularly in economically important mollusks, is a growing concern. Among them, the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) production faces challenges from several diseases, such as the Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome ...

Microplastics Toxicity and Life‐Threatening Impact on the Arabian Gulf: A Critical Review

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as a pervasive pollutant in marine environments worldwide, yet the Arabian Gulf remains underrepresented in global assessments despite its ecological and economic significance. The estimated mass of MPs entering the water of the Gulf ranged from 155 to 413.4 kt per year.

Rapid expansion of the invasive oyster Crassostrea gigas at its northern distribution limit in Europe: Naturally dispersed or introduced?

PLoS ONE, 2017
The Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, was introduced to Europe for aquaculture purposes, and has had a rapid and unforeseen northward expansion in northern Europe. The recent dramatic increase in number of C.

Multi‐metric complexity drives ecological succession on blue‐green infrastructure across scales

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that restoring coastal habitat complexity can substantially improve ecosystem diversity and functioning, offering a scalable marine conservation approach within increasingly engineered seascapes. We highlight the need for multi‐metric, multi‐scale assessments of spatio‐temporal community formation on eco‐engineered ...

Inbreeding and Demographic History of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Western Canada Inferred From Genome‐Wide SNP Data

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Assessing genetic diversity is essential for conserving endangered populations, yet comprehensive genomic evaluations remain limited for many declining species. Here, we investigated inbreeding levels and effective population sizes (Ne) of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in western Canada, where populations have experienced pronounced declines ...

The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...
