Habitat characteristics drive fish recruitment enhancement in threatened coastal nursery habitats

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings underscore the importance of habitat attributes and physical settings as the key predictors of fish enhancement across threatened coastal nurseries of North America. Restoration and management efforts should aim to optimize these factors to maximize fish recruitment potential amid ecosystem degradation. Abstract Structured coastal habitats

Swimming crab in a bottle: A two‐month drift on the ocean surface while entrapped

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Marine debris negatively impacts coastal marine ecosystems through ghost fishing gear that traps marine life, entanglement, and the transport of biofouling communities outside their native habitats. During a boat survey on July 15, 2022, a female swimming crab (Portunus sanguinolentus) entrapped inside a high‐density polyethylene bottle was ...
