Harnessing Population Genomics, Gut Microbiota, and Environmental DNA Surveillance for the Conservation of Chinese Spotted Seals in a Changing World

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Marine mammals are sentinel species for ocean and human health. Multiple anthropogenic and environmental stressors threaten these organisms, particularly China's spotted seals, which have experienced significant decline over the past half‐century. Our review reveals low genetic diversity in Chinese spotted seal populations.

Boom‐Bust Dynamics Drive Community‐Wide Dietary Structuring in Desert‐Dwelling Raptors

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We investigated how boom‐bust productivity dynamics affected dietary structuring within raptor communities of an arid bioregion. We found that higher productivity was associated with high dietary overlap, lower niche breadth and greater foraging on small mammals; however, raptors that were nomadic exhibited greater specialisation regardless of ...

Functionally Rich Fish Assemblages Support Greater Rates of Multiple Ecological Functions in Seagrass Meadows

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We show that the functional diversity of fishes promotes multifunctionality in seagrass meadows. We found that there was consistency in the seascape context and connectivity variables that structured the rate and distribution of different components of functioning and the functional diversity of fish in seagrass meadows.

Diversity and Spatiotemporal Distribution of Fish in a Highland Lake in China Based on Environmental DNA Metabarcoding

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We analyzed water samples from different seasons and locations in Erhai Lake to determine whether eDNA barcoding can effectively show the diversity of fish in such lakes. In the manuscript, we discuss our findings regarding the range of species found, their spatiotemporal distribution, and whether eDNA barcoding gave similar results to traditional ...
