Biofacies and taphofacies of a Holocene macrotidal environment: Bahia La Cholla, Northern Gulf of California

Ciencias Marinas, 1994
Recognition of the paleoenvironmental significance of biofacies and taphofacies in the fossil record is greatly aided by their study in modern sedimentary environments. Holocene molluscan shell assemblages of Bahia la Cholla, a macrotidal shallow marine

Will the Mediterranean Sea Be a Cul‐de‐Sac for Marine Gastropods Under Climate Change?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Marine benthic gastropods remain understudied despite extensive historical records, limiting our understanding of their vulnerability to climate change. Using multi‐temporal species distribution models, we show that intermediate future climate conditions may trigger major habitat contractions for four key cowrie and frog‐shell species in the NE ...

Phylogeographical analysis of Nerita yoldii revealed its geographical distribution pattern and drivers of population divergence in the Northwestern Pacific region

Frontiers in Marine Science
The distinctive tectonic settings and hydrological environments of the marginal seas in the Northwestern Pacific render them a focal point for investigating marine speciation and population diversity.

Investigating the Predation Risk of Coastal Dolphins via the Presence of Shark Bite Scars Across Southeast Queensland, Australia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Shark bite scars were analysed on coastal dolphins in southeast Queensland, Australia to compare the predation risk between species and habitats. Australian humpback dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) exhibited the highest bite rates and individuals found in sheltered waters had higher shark bite scar prevalence than open waters.

Predation and anthropogenic impact on community structure of boulder beaches

Scientia Marina, 2016
Predator impacts on intertidal community structure have been studied for rocky platforms, but intertidal boulder fields, a habitat with a greater extension and heterogeneity, have not yet been considered.

Planes on a Snake? On the Identities of Crab Larvae Rafting on Sea Snakes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We sequenced COI and 16S rRNA genes from 106 crab megalopae found rafting on the pelagic sea snake Hydrophis platurus to test whether they were the obligate rafting species Planes minutus. Instead, all larvae belonged to three inter‐ to supratidal grapsid crabs—Pachygrapsus socius, Goniopsis pulchra, and Grapsus grapsus—revealing no evidence of Planes.

Temporal shifts in kelp forest structure and distribution largely reflect recent ocean warming trends

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Ocean warming is driving the redistribution of species at a global scale. Biogeographic transition zones are hotspots of species range shifts, as both warm‐ and cold‐adapted species are found toward contrasting range edges. While anecdotal evidence suggests some distributional shifts have occurred in the northeast Atlantic, the empirical evidence base ...

Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Along the west coast of Australia, intertidal rock platforms support high invertebrate diversities that provide vital ecosystem services, yet patterns in diversity are not well understood. Here, we document and examine the invertebrate assemblages on intertidal rock platforms in Western Australia and delineate ecoregions according to assemblage ...

Sedimentation‐driven environmental filtering shapes community assembly of cryptic coralline algae

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Community assembly of cryptic crustose coralline algae (CCA) underlies the formation of algal reefs across the global ocean, yet the ecological mechanisms shaping these communities remain poorly understood. Sedimentation has been linked to variation in CCA community structure across the Taoyuan Algal Reef (TAR), the world's largest subtropical

Identification of Cypraeidae in southern intertidal zones of Qeshm Island, the Persian Gulf

‬‭Majallah-i ̒Ilmī-i Shīlāt-i Īrān, 2012
Gastropod communities were investigated along two intertidal sandy and rocky shores in Qeshm Island, the northern Persian Gulf, IR Iran to identify the species of the family Cypraeidae.
