Interannual Variability in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Challenges Post-Restoration Net Sink Predictions in California Delta Wetlands. [PDF]

open access: yesGlob Chang Biol
44 site‐years of eddy covariance measurements over restored California Delta wetlands show strong interannual variability in CO2 and CH4 fluxes. Vegetation establishment and water management drive whether sites act as greenhouse gas sources or sinks, challenging predictions of post‐restoration climate benefits. ABSTRACT Globally, wetlands can sequester

The Secret Life of Tidal Marshes and Mangroves: Camera Trapping as a Window Into Wildlife Using North American Coastal Wetlands. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We conducted the first coordinated assessment of terrestrial wildlife across North America's vegetated coastal wetlands. Our study demonstrates the significant role coastal wetlands play in wildlife support, offers a model for broad‐scale wildlife studies, and highlights the importance of incorporating top‐down perspectives and a landscape approach ...

Below the leaves: Integrating above‐ and below‐ground phenology for earth‐system predictability

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Almost every aspect of biological systems has phenology—a pattern in activity or function linked to annual cycles. Most terrestrial phenology research focusses on leaves, the onset of leaf out or senescence.

Cold comfort for change: Stream mats as biological indicators of ecosystem processes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Glacier‐fed streams (GFSs) make ideal systems for studying climate‐related changes. Some of the best‐studied GFSs are found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) of Antarctica, one of the Earth's coldest and driest deserts. Despite their harsh and isolated nature, MDV GFSs represent an oasis of life in a landscape visually devoid of it, with ...

A New GRIME2: Using an Octagon Calibration Target and Trail Camera to Measure Stream Water Level Over a 2‐Year Period

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract GaugeCam Remote Image Manager Educational 2 (GRIME2) is a free, open‐source Windows application for water level measurement in surface water bodies using ground‐based time‐lapse imagery. We evaluated a new “stop sign” (i.e., octagon shape) calibration target and GRIME2 algorithms by comparing results to other measurement methods over a 26 ...

eBird Data Highlight Shifts in Wetland Resources Structuring Waterfowl and Shorebird Abundance

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Wetland losses in the American West, driven by accelerated drying, overlapped multiple shorebird and waterfowl life histories. Trends were indicators of declining availability and increased uncertainty in waterbird habitat networks. Losses were pervasive in semi‐permanent wetlands, with 19%–48% reductions over the past two decades.

Metabarcoding and biomass quantification reveal seasonal parasite associations in copepods

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Parasites are important members of ecosystems, and recent metabarcoding efforts have revealed an abundance of microbial eukaryotic parasites in copepods. However, a putative linkage to host community biomass and composition has not been addressed. We performed zooplankton tows monthly for 2 yr at five stations in the Oslofjord, Norway.

An individual‐based model to quantify the non‐breeding season impact of wind farms on seabirds

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
A novel individual‐based model to predict the impacts of offshore wind farms on seabirds during the non‐breeding season, using long‐term tracking data from SEATRACK. We demonstrate the model by simulating wind farm impacts on two Norwegian populations: common guillemots from Sklinna (sub‐lethal displacement effects) and black‐legged kittiwakes from ...

Building quantitative resources using PVA to assess the responses of UK seabirds to extrinsic threats

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
We use PVA to model how populations of five species of seabird change in response to scenarios of impact to their demographic rates. We model population change resulting from different degrees and durations of impact to breeding success and survival, and under positive and negative scenarios of density‐dependent regulation of breeding success.

Evidence for Asian Swamp Eels as an Emerging Threat to Everglades Amphibians

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT As amphibian populations around the globe continue to shrink and suffer enigmatic declines, it is critical to use systematic studies to isolate causes and provide management targets for key environmental variables. We sampled the amphibian community at 30 sites dispersed across four large regions of the Everglades (FL, USA).
