Heat exchange rates between adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) and the environment

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 3, Page 1810-1823, September 2026.
Abstract Body temperatures of salmon do not always match the temperatures of their immediate environment. We investigated the relationship between varying ambient water temperatures and body temperatures of adult sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka using Newton's law of cooling and non‐linear mixed models.

Metagenomic Insights Into Red Sea Biodiversity Across the Web of Life

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2026.
Deep‐sequencing shotgun metagenomics of Red Sea benthic sediments reveals biodiversity across the web of life, from viruses to animals. Despite the strong dominance of prokaryotic DNA, low‐abundance eukaryotic reads capture broad taxonomic diversity. Open‐ocean communities are primarily structured by depth, whereas coastal eukaryotic communities follow
