Tapeworm Parasite Burden Is Linked to Diet, Body Size, Condition, Growth, Restocking and Habitat Use in Piscivorous Salmonids of a Subarctic Lake

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Parasites affect hosts in interaction with the entire ecological community. This is particularly evident for trophically transmitted parasites, such as Dibothriocephalus tapeworms, which infect multiple intermediate fish hosts, potentially reducing their fitness and suitability for human consumption.

Interannual Variations in Distribution and Density of Japanese Anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) Larvae in the Shelf‐Break Region of East China Sea During Spring (2001–2022)

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 777-794, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Japanese anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) is the most abundant fish in the East China Sea (ECS) and an important fishery resource throughout its life stages. Using samples collected along the ECS shelf‐break in April over a 22‐year period (2001–2022), we examined the horizontal distribution and interannual variability of larval density (mean ...

Global Burden of Clinostomum complanatum in Freshwater Fish: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Prevalence and Pathological Effect

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Clinostomum complanatum infection is a trematode parasite infecting diverse freshwater fish hosts, causing pathological damage and economic losses. Despite its veterinary and public health importance, its global burden remains insufficiently quantified. This study aimed to assess the global burden of C.

Effects of whitefish speciation on piscivorous birds : A dietary study of piscivorous birds in central and northern Sweden

open access: yes, 2021
The ecological communities we observe today are a product of the bidirectional interactions between ecological and evolutionary processes. Although the effects of ecological processes on population divergence and speciation have been studied extensively, far less is known about the effects of divergence and speciation on ecological dynamics.

First report of albinism in the South American catfish Imparfinis mirini (Siluriformes: Heptapteridae)

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2017
Albinism is a genetic condition caused by an autosomal recessive gene that affects normal pigmentation in animals. In Neotropical freshwater fish fauna, albinism cases are extremely rare, with only 14 species recorded among more than 6,000 described ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1704-1734, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Stayin' alive: Strategies to reduce predation on target species are context dependent

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Restoration and conservation efforts often aim to reduce predation, particularly by reducing interactions with nonnative predators in heavily disturbed and invaded ecosystems. For Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, a highly valued but declining fishery, potentially useful freshwater rearing habitat restoration strategies may include ...

The occurrence of Contracaecum sp. larvae (Nematoda : Anisakidae) in the catfishClarias gariepinus (Burchell) from Lake Chivero, Zimbabwe

open access: yesOnderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2004
Clarias gariepinus were collected from Lake Chivero, Zimbabwe, and examined for nematode parasites from November 2000 to May 2002. Of the 202 specimens collected, 42.6 % were infected with third-stage larvae of Contracaecum sp. in the body cavity. The

Ecosystem Engineers at Work: How Beaver Ponds Reshape Avian Abundance and Diversity in a Mountainous Forest Ecosystem in Central Europe

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Eurasian beavers significantly enhance bird diversity and abundance by creating wetland habitats, with 23% higher bird numbers and more unique species at beaver ponds compared to unaffected streams. The size of water surfaces was the key factor influencing species richness, particularly benefiting birds that rely on aquatic environments.
