Sediment Vulnerability Ranking for River Basins Across the Contiguous U.S. Using Integrated Biophysical and Social‐Ecological Data

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Nearly half of streams and rivers in the United States (U.S.) have fair to poor conditions for aquatic ecosystem health as declared by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and sediment was identified as a primary factor impairing these waterbodies.

The Effect of Temperature, Flow, Density and Disease on Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) Early Life Growth Rate

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Individual growth rates of fish are influenced by gradually changing environmental conditions and rapid‐onset events. However, there is a paucity of information on drivers of spatiotemporal variability in growth rates of fishes across large spatial extents.

Geographical distribution of the Pinnated Bittern (Botaurus pinnatus): Update and seasonal movement pattern

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1483-1499, October 2026.
The Pinnated Bittern Botaurus pinnatus (Ardeidae) is a widely distributed Neotropical wading bird whose distribution and seasonal status remain poorly resolved. Discrepancies among published literature, citizen science records and the range currently assumed by BirdLife International indicate that both its geographical distribution and migratory ...

Exploring the significance of Kenya's indigenous and emerging blue foods for sustainable aquaculture development. A review

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Kenya's aquaculture sector is at a pivotal stage, transitioning from a historical reliance on Nile tilapia and African catfish toward a more diversified production portfolio that integrates indigenous and emerging freshwater and marine species. This shift is increasingly recognized as essential to enhance climate resilience, food security, and

Dental Complexity and Crown Relief Document Occlusal Wear Along the Tooth Row in West Indian Manatees

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Sirenians are a lineage of herbivorous marine mammals morphologically specialized for exploiting aquatic vegetation in shallow‐water habitats. In manatees (Trichechus), continuous horizontal tooth replacement may represent a solution for mitigating heavy dental wear incurred by a diet of abrasive plant material.

Alluvial ridge morphology on avulsing rivers

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2311-2337, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Alluvial ridges are built by preferential channel‐belt deposition and control river avulsions, yet a systematic analysis of their morphology has been missing. To address this gap, we analyse a globally distributed dataset of 8970 alluvial ridge flanks on 14 different rivers.

Outcrop and subsurface characterisation of a mixed tidal and wave‐influenced coastline (Triassic Red Beds, SE Spain)

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2381-2416, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Paralic depositional systems are complex and heterogeneous sedimentary environments, presenting challenges for predicting reservoir architecture and connectivity. Their stratigraphic and facies variability arises from the dynamic interplay between fluvial, tidal and wave processes, and their sensitivity to sea‐level fluctuations, sediment ...

Evidence for the continental origin of Pliocene deposits in the central Baja California peninsula, Mexico, and implications for controls on biodiversity

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2488-2518, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Previous studies have documented genetic divergence within the last few million years between northern and southern populations of terrestrial plants and animals along the Baja California peninsula, with many studies hypothesising that the divergence is due to an ancient seaway that crossed the central peninsula and created a physical barrier ...

Assimilation of SWOT Water Surface Elevation Enhances Simulations of River Dynamics in the Ohio River Basin

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) provides water surface elevation (WSE) that can constrain river hydraulics through data assimilation (DA), but basin‐scale impacts of assimilating real observations remain uncertain under heterogeneous availability and regulation.

SWOT Discharge Accuracy Benchmarked in South America

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission offers unprecedented estimates of global river discharge. This study provides a first continental‐scale assessment of SWOT Consensus discharge performance across South America and compares it with a large‐scale hydrodynamic model and in situ observations.
