Metals' Adsorption Onto Environmental Microplastics at Shoreline Sediments
X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 349-365, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT This study assessed trace element concentrations and microplastic (MP) contamination in three sandy beaches on the southern coast of Ilha Grande (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Environmental MPs were manually extracted from sand samples, and beaches were classified using the microplastic pollution index (MPPI).

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, 2026.Abstract Following the lead of labour movements, this article frames slums as labour geographies whose evictions constitute the devaluation of labour in spatial terms. This devaluation occurs in two modes: in the first, through the rendering of workers as “encroachers” or “the urban poor” in policy documents and public discourse, thereby unmooring ...

Contemporary Methods for Capturing Juvenile Salmonids in the Marine Environment
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 160-178, March 2026.ABSTRACT Anadromous salmonids play vital roles in marine and freshwater ecosystems. The most abundant of these fishes—Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.)—are integral to coastal ecosystems and communities across the North Pacific Rim, but numerous populations are experiencing dramatic declines, particularly towards the south of their range.

Anthropogenic Disturbance Threatens the Endangered Tufted Ghost Crab, Ocypode cursor
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT The tufted ghost crab, Ocypode cursor, native to the southeastern Mediterranean and subtropical Atlantic Ocean, is a key bioindicator species, providing valuable insights into the health and stability of sandy beach ecosystems through its population dynamics, behaviour and interactions with the environment. Sandy shores along the Mediterranean

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Estimating population parameters is crucial for understanding species dynamics and assessing anthropogenic impacts, thereby supporting conservation efforts. We evaluate key population parameters—group structure, abundance and capture–recapture probabilities—of the Guiana dolphin in the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex and adjacent coastal waters ...
