A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

South Coast Rock Lobster: a new management target
, 2023 Current spawning/exploitable biomass for the south coast rock lobster resource is estimated to be 41%/45% of K. The Reference Case (RC) MSY estimate is 420 MT at a Bsp/K of 0.35 (a Bexp/K of 0.42).

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.The invasive Asian paddle crab Charybdis japonica continues to expand its range across northern Aotearoa New Zealand, raising ecological, social, and economic concerns. This study theoretically assesses whether harvest‐based management—potentially including commercial, recreational, or customary fisheries—could contribute to population suppression ...

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Lobsters, including the Small European locust lobster Scyllarus arctus, are distributed throughout the Mediterranean Sea, inhabiting rocky bottoms, muddy substrates and seagrass meadows. Despite increasing scientific interest, S. arctus remains understudied, and available information on its distribution is largely limited to grey literature ...

Rapidly declining seagrass meadows in Brazil: Findings from satellite imagery and local knowledge
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1155-1171, May 2026.Abstract Due to the limitations of individual monitoring approaches, integrating social perceptions with multiple advanced technologies provides a new opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem degradation. We combined historical aerial mapping, satellite imagery, semi‐structured interviews with local stakeholders, and a bilingual ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.The crustaceans associated with Ecklonia radiata holdfast varied substantially between rock pools and gullies in different sites. More species inhabited the gullies than the rock pools. This pattern was more prominent in the Dwesa site, while positive associations between abundance and richness were more pronounced in the rock pools.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Essential habitats are areas that support biological and ecological functions critical for species' survival. For highly mobile and elusive marine species, aggregations in these habitats provide rare opportunities to study their ecology and inform conservation.
