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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Science-based restoration monitoring of coastal habitats, Volume One: A framework for monitoring plans under the Estuaries and Clean Waters Act of 2000 (Public Law 160-457) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Executive Summary: The Estuary Restoration Act of 2000 (ERA), Title I of the Estuaries and Clean Waters Act of 2000, was created to promote the restoration of habitats along the coast of the United States (including the US protectorates and the Great ...

Partial Entrance Restriction as a Potential Tidal Flood Mitigation Strategy in a Large Urban Estuary

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tidal flooding in estuaries is expected to worsen as sea‐level rise (SLR) continues to accelerate and increases storm surge height. Conventional structural defences are often unsustainable, while nature‐based solutions like managed realignment require extensive land to be repurposed.

Predation and anthropogenic impact on community structure of boulder beaches

open access: yesScientia 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.

Into the Wild: Farm‐Derived Energy and Nutrients Enter Marine Food Webs With Carrying Capacity Implications for Aquaculture Management

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...

Colonization and extinction mediate environmental effects on the phylogenetic diversity of invertebrate communities

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Phylogeny offers a powerful framework for understanding mechanisms driving community assembly. Yet, most empirical studies in community phylogenetics rely on observational approaches. In this study, we explore how two important drivers of community assembly—habitat size and predator presence—shape species richness and phylogenetic relatedness ...

Anthropogenic Harvesting Pressure and Changes in Life History: Insights from a Rocky Intertidal Limpet

open access: yes, 2012
The importance of large breeding individuals for maintaining the health of marine fish and invertebrate populations has long been recognized. Unfortunately, decades of human harvesting that preferentially remove larger individuals have led to drastic ...

Human Response to Postglacial Sea Level Change in Jomon Prehistoric Sites Around Lake Ogawara, Northern Japan

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Jomon culture, characterized by hunting, gathering, and fishing, lasted from approximately 15.5–2.4 ka in the Japanese archipelago. In this study, the shore of Lake Ogawara in northeastern Japan was investigated using coring, fossil analyses, and radiocarbon dating to reconstruct the palaeoenvironmental changes as well as their ...

Comparing non‐staining methods with Mutvei's solution to visualize growth increments in short‐lived intertidal marine gastropod shells

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Mutvei's solution is a widely utilized standard staining method for revealing growth increments in biogenic carbonates; however, it is a slightly toxic, destructive approach with varying success across species groups. Therefore, there has been growing interest in finding non‐toxic, less destructive, and straightforward alternative techniques ...
