Diversity and Ecological Potentials of Marine Viruses Inhabiting Continental Shelf Seas
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.To the best of the knowledge, this study provides the largest viral genome dataset from a continental shelf sea. It reveals that over half of vOTUs are novel, highlighting the remarkable viral novelty in the eastern continental shelf seas of China (ECSSC).

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Understanding patterns of habitat use across trophic levels and the physical drivers of multispecies aggregations is essential to inform ecosystem‐based management. To achieve this, we quantified the spatial distribution and co‐occurrence of hotspots (defined using the Getis‐Ord statistic) for euphausiids and nine of their commercially ...

Haul‐Out Site Use and Connectivity of Harbour Seals Between Management Units in Southern Scandinavia
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Effective management of wild populations requires knowledge of their movement patterns and connectivity across administrative borders. Using telemetry data from harbour seals in southern Scandinavia, we show that individuals routinely move across national and regional jurisdictions, creating an integrated network of haul‐out sites.

Birds Decorating Their Nests With Plastic May Suffer Less Egg Depredation by Corvids
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Many birds add anthropogenic material to the nest. We presented artificial nests on the ground in spring, each with two quail eggs and half of them decorated with pieces of white plastic. The plastic induced a neophobic response in territorial European magpies, reducing the rate of nest predation.

Urban and Wild Kelp Gulls: Tracking Seasonal Shifts in Habitat Use and Movement Patterns
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Kelp gull (Larus dominicanus) nesting on a rooftop in Coquimbo. Photo by C. E. Fernández. ABSTRACT Humans impact the environment through a myriad of activities, including urbanisation. While some wildlife species struggle to cope with urban development, others might benefit from it.
