Are payment for ecosystem services fulfilling their promise? A review of mechanisms in Maritime Southeast Asia

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Mapping 19 verified payment for ecosystem services (PES) mechanisms across Maritime Southeast Asia reveals a growing but uneven landscape of conservation incentives, with most schemes concentrated in Indonesia and the Philippines. Despite this spread, only a small subset has been rigorously evaluated, and reported outcomes remain modest and context ...

Corals and Reef‐Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

Assessing the Potential Conservation Role of Other Effective Area‐Based Conservation Measures in Relation to Seaweed Farming

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Other effective area‐based conservation measures (OECMs) offer opportunities to advance the Convention on Biological Diversity's ‘30 by 30’ conservation targets, while recognising greater stakeholder diversity, including industry, Indigenous peoples and local communities.

The effects of the presence of seagrasses (Zostera SSP.) on benthic intertidal invertebrate communities [PDF]

, 1992
1. A quantitative investigation of the benthic macrofauna associated with seagrass swards was carried out over a period of four months, on the intertidal mud flats at Lindisfarne, Northumberland. 2.

Global Patterns and Drivers of Climate Vulnerability in Sharks and Rays: A Reassessment Using the IRACC Framework

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate vulnerability in sharks and rays is unevenly distributed across habitats and ecological groups, reflecting differences in exposure pathways and biological constraints. Using an updated application of the Integrated Risk Assessment for Climate Change (IRACC) framework, we conducted a global reassessment of climate vulnerability for 95 ...

Refining Marine Turtle Conservation: Introducing Marine Turtle Management Areas (MATMAs) as a Spatial Conservation Tool

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT English Language Abstract Marine turtle regional management units (RMUs) are region‐wide population boundaries delineating marine turtle subpopulations. Analyses within RMUs can provide insights into their knowledge gaps and conservation status for those regions.

Sargassum Strandings on the Brazilian Coast: Integrating Scientific and Media Records to Support Coastal Conservation and Monitoring

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The expansion of the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt (GASB) has increased the frequency and intensity of Sargassum stranding events across the Tropical Atlantic, generating ecological, social and economic impacts on coastal systems. Along the Brazilian coast, however, formal scientific documentation of these events remains limited, despite ...

Three New Mitochondrial Genomes of Neritidae (Gastropoda, Neritimorpha) From China and Insights Into Their Phylogenetic Position

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study reports the newly assembled complete mitochondrial genomes for three neritid snails from China: Smaragdia rangiana, Neripteron pileolus, and Vittina cumingiana. Our phylogenetic analyses not only resolved their evolutionary positions within the established two‐subfamily framework but also identified several mislabeled public sequences ...

Variation in Meiofaunal Abundance and Composition Across an Estuarine Bay: Do They Comprise a Coherent and Distinct Entity Displaying Contrasting Patterns to the Macrofauna?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Is division of marine animals into macrofauna and meiofauna merely an arbitrary convenience, or, as has been claimed, does their size difference render them distinct and independent entities evolved under different ecological constraints? Those in the Knysna estuarine bay did not behave as distinct and discrete ecological entities, their individual ...
