High-resolution vision in pelagic polychaetes [PDF]

Current Biology
High-resolution object vision - the ability to separate, classify, and interact with specific objects in the environment against the visual background - has only been conclusively shown to have evolved in three of the thirty-five animal phyla: chordates, arthropods, and mollusks (cephalopods)1.

Analysis of the Structure and Functioning of the Chudao Oyster Reef Ecosystem in Sanggou Bay, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The study focuses on the Chudao oyster reef ecosystem in Sanggou Bay, China. By investigating the biodiversity, food web structure, and energy flow, the study aims to provide a basis for further exploring the role of oyster reef in maintaining marine ecological environment. ABSTRACT The Chudao oyster reef in Sanggou Bay, China represents a rare case of

Habitat‐and‐Site Dependent Variations on Crustaceans Associated With Ecklonia radiata Holdfast Along the South African Wild Coast

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The crustaceans associated with Ecklonia radiata holdfast varied substantially between rock pools and gullies in different sites. More species inhabited the gullies than the rock pools. This pattern was more prominent in the Dwesa site, while positive associations between abundance and richness were more pronounced in the rock pools.

First Report on Three Lesser-Known Magelona Species from Korean Waters: Details of All Thoracic Chaetigers and Methyl Green Staining Patterns

Diversity
This study assessed the taxonomic statuses of three lesser-known Magelona F. Müller, 1858 species collected from intertidal to sublittoral habitats in Korean coastal waters, basing identification on morphological features and comparing them with their ...

Long‐term monitoring reveals biomass loss and concurrent dominance changes in coastal zooplankton community

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Anthropogenically induced changes in environmental conditions have been affecting species communities globally, leading to shifts in ecosystem functioning. Physical drivers like temperature, salinity and acidification are especially important in coastal ecosystems, and high‐resolution time‐series are essential to identify how these variables affect ...

Four New Species and Records of Chaetozone Malmgren, 1867 (Annelida: Cirratulidae) from Brazilian Waters

Diversity
Cirratulid polychaetes are abundant, ecologically relevant, and widely used as bioindicators, but systematic studies worldwide remain scarce due to systematic challenges. Chaetozone Malmgren, 1867, is the most diverse genus of Cirratulidae.

Eelgrass‐associated invertebrate biodiversity patterns in a subarctic seascape

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Abiotic, biotic, and spatial processes shape patterns of biodiversity in coastal ecosystems. In this study, we test how these processes influence eelgrass‐associated invertebrate diversity in a subarctic seascape. We sampled invertebrate assemblages in 12 meadows along 300 km of coastline in James Bay, Canada, and tested the relative ...

Marine trophic architecture and hidden ecological connections in the Strait of Magellan: keystone species and ecosystem resilience

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Understanding the ecological implications of species coexistence is central to biodiversity studies and to identify environmental and anthropogenic drivers of ecosystem dynamics, where ecological network analysis offers valuable insights. This study examines the complexity, structure, and potential responses to disturbances of the Strait of Magellan's ...
