Ecological restoration hierarchy as a lens to reveal the foundational economic and legal structures impeding restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biodiversity loss is accelerating due to habitat destruction, economic expansion, and insufficient conservation efforts. Traditional mitigation strategies, which focus on minimizing harm rather than reversing damage, are inadequate for achieving net biodiversity gain. Objectives This article introduces the restoration hierarchy, a

Performance and Health Status of Juvenile Largemouth Bass (Micropterus nigricans) Fed Inclusions of Enzyme‐Treated and Low‐Oligosaccharide Soy Proteins

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant‐based proteins, such as soybean meal (SBM), have shown promising results in cultured species but also present challenges due to their nutrient composition and inherent antinutritional factors. This study investigated how the replacement of solvent‐extracted SBM with low oligosaccharide soybean meal (LSBM) or enzyme‐treated soybean meal ...

Multi‐Seasonal eDNA Metabarcoding Highlights a Resurgence in Fish Diversity Across a Severely Impacted Estuarine Ecosystem

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic ecosystems have been in an alarming state of decline for decades. In particular, estuarine ecosystems have experienced long‐term declines in fish diversity due to factors such as habitat degradation, pollution and altered hydrology. Monitoring these systems is often limited by the difficulty and cost of conventional survey methods.

Health of Wild Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Smolts Along Coastal Migratory Routes in Newfoundland, Canada With and Without Salmonid Aquaculture as Assessed Using Sentinel Cages

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Declines in wild Atlantic salmon populations in the North Atlantic with migratory routes adjacent to commercial salmonid aquaculture operations in coastal marine environments have raised concerns about the potential for direct or indirect effects this industry may have on local wild populations.

Why we age

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 911-925, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

Dietary essential oils modulate post‐mortem oxidative damage in trout fillets exposed to slaughter stress during frozen storage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3686-3695, April 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Slaughter is a critical phase in aquaculture that can severely compromise both animal welfare and product quality. Stress responses triggered during this stage may accelerate post‐mortem biochemical degradation and promote oxidative damage in fish fillets. Essential oils, known for their antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties,

Development and Laboratory Validation of a Field‐Deployable CRISPR‐Cas12a eDNA Assay for Phylogeographic Lineage Detection in Arctic Char (Salvelinus alpinus)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) tools are increasingly used for biodiversity monitoring, with most existing assays targeting species‐level identification. However, the use of eDNA to resolve intraspecific genetic variation remains rare and methodologically underdeveloped.

A century of theories of balancing selection

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 804-825, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Traits that affect organismal fitness are often highly genetically variable. This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments, but it is also surprising given that nature – after all – ‘selects’ the best genotypes at the expense of those that fall short.

Brown Trout Abundance in Boreal Streams With Large Wood

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Large wood has been found to be a crucial component in riverine ecosystems. However, due to the heavy channelization of rivers and intensive forestry practices over the past few decades, the amount of large wood in these ecosystems has decreased worldwide. River restoration aims to mitigate the effects of channelization and restore the channel

Seasonal Variation of δ13C and δ15N in a Boreal Lake Fish Community—Year‐Round Patterns and Explanatory Variables

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Seasonal changes in freshwater ecosystems influence fish resource use through both environmental and biological factors, but year‐round studies that include ice‐covered months have been lacking. We investigated seasonal variation in the stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) using year‐round monthly sampling of the fish ...
