Environmental DNA Reveals Diverse and Depth‐Stratified Biodiversity in East Indian Ocean Submarine Canyons

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals diverse animal communities across Cape Range and Cloates submarine canyons off Western Australia. Two assays detected 234 species spanning 125 families across 11 phyla, highlighting canyon‐specific assemblages and demonstrating the value of eDNA for establishing biodiversity baselines in remote and poorly ...

Submerged Macrophyte Restoration Differentiation for a Waterfront Body [PDF]

Journal of Clean Energy Technologies, 2014
The Inner Lake is a typical tide-influenced waterfront body in Eastern China. Series of environmental factors of the lake changed frequently and extensively due to its location. Regulating the water exchange for an improved living condition to restore macrophyte is very important to establish a healthy ecosystem.

Remobilisation of fine sediment from chalk stream gravel beds under flushing flows: A flume experiment

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Through progressive flume experiments, this study demonstrated that increased bed shear stresses corresponded with increased cohesive fine sediment (<62‐μm) remobilisation depths from a representative chalk stream gravel bed. This represents some of the first scientifically robust data, which can direct revised and targeted fine sediment management in ...

Associating Local‐Scale Physical Habitat Assemblages With Reach‐Scale Stream Hydrogeomorphological Types in Mountain Headwater Catchments

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 527-546, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Building an understanding of river ecosystems often involves integrating information from different locations, spatial scales and points in time. Geomorphologists and ecologists have long considered ways to explore river ecosystems at different, hierarchical, spatial scales so that features observed locally can be linked to the character of ...

Capturing Spatial Gradients of Water Color and Clarity in Subtropical Reservoirs During Drought

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Reservoirs have spatial variation in water depth, suspended matter, and biogeochemistry that can influence patterns of water clarity and color. Spatial surveys with sensor‐equipped boats matched in time with satellite image acquisition provide data‐intensive avenues for understanding spatial patterns of optical properties within reservoirs. We

Elements of the Structure of Macrophyte Metacommunities in Coastal Wetlands: Relationships With Limnological and Climatic Variables

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
We applied the Elements of Metacommunity Structure (EMS) framework to macrophyte communities across coastal wetlands in southern Brazil, identifying distinct distribution patterns among functional groups. Our results show that environmental and climatic factors shape these patterns differently, with emergent species forming Clementsian communities and ...

Unveiling Zooplankton Diversity Patterns: The Differential Influence of Macrophyte Belts on Species and Functional Metrics

Diversity
Species and functional diversity are essential frameworks for analyzing changes in planktonic communities. In lakes and rivers, macrophytes within the coastal zone are a primary determinant of zooplankton community structure and function.

Taxonomy and Functional Traits Modulate the Environmental Niche Dimensions of Crustacean Zooplankton Communities in Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Beds

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Community ecologists now recognise the importance of simultaneously integrating spatial and environmental processes, together with functional traits and phylogeny to provide a more complete understanding of community responses to environmental conditions.

Resilience of riparian spiders to floods: evidence from a mesocosm study

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 393-403, March 2026.
Mesocosm experiment to assess the impact of flood duration on flood‐naïve riparian spider communities. In May, spider richness decreased with flood duration, while in June, flood duration increased abundance, richness and promoted wetland specialists. Flood‐naïve riparian spiders unexpectedly appear highly resilient to flooding.

Morphological and biomechanical adaptations of larval mandibles in Trichoptera (Insecta)

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 85-114, March 2026.
Mandible morphology differs between predators and grazers: predators show pointed incisors, grazers sharp edges and setae. Mechanical properties depend on cuticle tanning, not elemental reinforcement. Functional mandible types reflect feeding strategies, with predators specialized for prey capture and grazers for scraping and collecting.
