Diversity and Potential Endemism of New Zealand Freshwater Rotifers Revealed Using Mitochondrial DNA Barcodes

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.
Rotifers perform key functions in aquatic food webs and respond to environmental changes, thus providing sensitive indicators of water quality. However, rotifers are small, highly diverse, and difficult to identify for those lacking expertise. Monogononta are the largest taxonomic class of rotifers with over 1500 species described globally, and around ...

A Preliminary Study on Using Rotifera Fauna to Determine The Trophic Level of The Büyükçekmece Reservoir (İstanbul, Turkey)

Aquatic Sciences and Engineering, 2019
In this study, the abundance of rotifera fauna, in the Büyükçekmece Reservoir (İstanbul) and some physicochemical features of the reservoir, were investigated between May 2009 and February 2010.

Geographic Variation in the Diet of Red Knot (Calidris canutus) Chicks Reflects Local Prey Communities

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To describe and compare the diets of an Arctic‐breeding shorebird, the Red Knot (Calidris canutus), across three geographically distinct breeding sites. We aimed to document the dietary patterns and identify key prey groups that characterise each population's foraging ecology.

Environmental Risk Assessment and Anti‐Corrosion Efficacy of Safe‐by‐Design Nitrite‐Based Nanomaterials for Maritime Applications

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
The environmental behavior and impact of anti‐corrosion nanoadditives, ZnAl‐NO2 and MgAl‐NO2 layered double hydroxides (LDH), are assessed under marine conditions. These nanomaterials show instability in water but exhibit no or low toxicity to most tested marine species.

Life on the Edge: Ecosystem Features of Lakes Across a Mountain–Prairie Elevation Gradient in Western Canada

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT Ecological transition zones such as mountain elevation gradients can influence the function and productivity of lakes through changes in climatic characteristics and catchment composition (i.e., land use/land cover). However, surveys of limnological features along such ecological transition zones show variable patterns, making it difficult to ...

The Seasonal Rhythms of Coastal eDNA: Insights Into Biodiversity and Regional Detection Patterns

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Seasonal variation affects environmental DNA (eDNA) detection, yet its influence on species monitoring remains underexplored. This study examines eDNA detection windows across taxa, primers, and regions, finding that most species have short detection periods (1–2 months) that vary with taxonomy and primer choice. These results underscore the importance

Environmental Gradients and Ecological Processes Are Main Drivers of Eukaryotic Diversity in the Eastern Red Sea

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Across 266 water column samples, COI eDNA metabarcoding detected 4298 eukaryotic MOTUs spanning 40 phyla in the Eastern Red Sea. Community composition varied strongly across depth and regions, revealing hidden biodiversity patterns and providing a baseline for conservation‐oriented monitoring in a future‐ocean analogue.
