Evaluating the possible role of bottom currents and internal waves in shaping seafloor morphology in a mesophotic reef

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mesophotic reefs are located in low light conditions which, depending on the region, are usually found in water depths greater than ~30 m. They are less affected by ocean warming than reefs found in shallower water depths and thus might become increasingly important for the sustainability of marine biodiversity.

Potential Trophic Competition Between the European Perch Perca fluviatilis and Pikeperch Sander lucioperca

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The European perch Perca fluviatilis and pikeperch Sander lucioperca can co‐occur, potentially competing for food resources. However, few studies have addressed the potential feeding competition between these species. We used carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis to assess the potential trophic competition between these species in two ...

The lower jaw of Devonian ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii): Anatomy, relationships, and functional morphology

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 550-602, March 2026.
Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian

Widespread decline in the abundance of sea cucumber assemblages in atolls of the protected Rowley Shoals, northwestern Australia

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract The Rowley Shoals, off northwestern Australia, are renowned as a biodiversity hotspot. This remote system comprises three atolls, Clerke, Imperieuse and Mermaid, which in recent years have been increasingly targeted by illegal fishing, a pressure rising across the Indo‐Pacific.

Habitat Influence on Epigeic Spider Diversity in Silaka, Langeni and Kambi Forests, Eastern Cape, South Africa

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we explore spider diversity and the effects of habitat types on spider distribution in the three different types of habitats in Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. This serves as an invaluable tool for biodiversity assessment while documenting the presence of spiders taxa across different habitats in the selected study areas.
