Slab‐Mantle Interaction During Subduction Initiation: Constraints From Trace Element and Sr‐Nd‐Pb Isotope Systematics of Boninite and Other Magmas and Metamorphic Sole in the Oman Ophiolite

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Late Cretaceous Oman ophiolite includes a series of volcanic rocks generated during the transition from spreading ridge to protoarc associated with subduction initiation. We analyzed major and trace elements and Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope compositions of lavas and dikes of the protoarc stage, especially boninites. We also analyzed amphibolites

Eddy‐Induced Iron Transport Sustains the Biological Productivity in the Gulf of Alaska

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The surface waters of the subarctic northeastern Pacific Ocean contain high concentrations of macronutrients such as phosphate and nitrate, which can potentially drive photosynthesis and biological uptake of carbon dioxide. Regional biological productivity, however, is limited by a lack of necessary micronutrients such as iron.

Reviewing seas of data: Integrating image‐based bio‐logging and artificial intelligence to enhance marine conservation

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 272-290, February 2026.
Abstract Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including images, videos and active acoustic) are increasingly used to monitor wildlife movements, foraging behaviours ...

State‐space models and inference approaches for aquatic animal tracking with passive acoustic telemetry and biologging sensors

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 418-434, February 2026.
Abstract Passive acoustic telemetry systems are widely deployed to track animals in aquatic environments. However, investments in integrative methods of data analysis have remained comparatively limited, with current workflows typically considering individual movements separately from space use, home ranges and residency.

A review of autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) for monitoring hard‐bottom benthic biodiversity

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 435-455, February 2026.
Abstract Amid increasing anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, standardised biodiversity monitoring is critical for assessing biodiversity change. Marine hard‐bottom habitats, though ubiquitous and biodiverse, present challenges for biodiversity monitoring due to their complex structure and limited accessibility. Autonomous reef monitoring structures (

Unravelling echinoid mass mortalities: a global overview of mechanisms, spatio‐temporal trends, and taxonomic insights

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 221-236, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Mass mortality events (MMEs) have been occurring since the dawn of time. However, in contrast to terrestrial events, most marine MMEs remain undetected, largely due to the inaccessibility of many marine environments. One of the most notorious and best‐studied marine MMEs in modern times is that of the population collapse of the echinoid ...

Mapping Mediterranean bentho‐demersal communities to better inform marine conservation

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Marine protected areas are one of the most common conservation tools being implemented worldwide to reach conservation targets, but their implementation does not usually take the heterogeneous distribution of bentho‐demersal communities into account.

Achieving Full Representativity of Seafloor Biodiversity With Minimal Expansion: Exploring a Strategy for New Zealand Marine Conservation

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim A key element of the Global Biodiversity Framework Target 3 is ‘representativity’, which refers to the inclusion of the full range of existing ecosystems, ecological processes and regions within protected areas, with the aim of ensuring that the full spectrum of biodiversity is protected.

Limited Dispersal Drives Strong Genetic Structure in the Commercially Harvested Gastropod Buccinum undatum in the Western North Atlantic

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Direct‐developing species lack the pelagic larval phase which facilitates connectivity in most marine species. Consequently, they tend to exhibit spatially restricted dispersal and increased population structure. When subject to harvesting, this biological constraint increases their vulnerability to localized depletion, as local aggregations ...

The Geography of Mediterranean Benthic Communities Under Climate Change

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
We employed Species Distribution Models with environmental variables from state of the art physical and biogeochemical marine models and a large database of species records to project the current and future distributions of ~350 benthic species in the Mediterranean Sea.
