Selecting for Seed Size Diversity Can Support a Variety of Plant Colonization Strategies in Caatinga Restoration

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Seed traits offer valuable insights into colonization strategies under climatic unpredictability. In seasonally dry tropical forests, such traits help explain species adaptations to water availability, which is critical for effective restoration.

Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Reproduction and Early Life Development in Marine Teleost Fish—A Synthesis

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 1176-1192, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Ocean acidification (OA) remains a major and underexplored threat to marine fishes, particularly regarding reproductive physiology and early life stages (ELS). Although research over the past 15 years has documented diverse OA effects, substantial knowledge gaps persist.

Modulation of Gene Expression in the Digestive Tract of the Tropical Gar (Atractosteus tropicus) in Response to Cricket Meal (Acheta domesticus)

Fishes
The tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus Gill, 1863) is a prehistoric fish of high nutritional value in southern Mexico and Central America. However, some aspects related to the effects caused by alternative protein sources, such as insect meal, as a ...

Evidence of a Potential Nursery Area for the Great Hammerhead Shark, Sphyrna mokarran, in the Largest Coral Reef System of the Southwestern Atlantic

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We present evidence suggesting that the Abrolhos Bank functions as key habitat for early life stages of Sphyrna mokarran. Kernel density estimation revealed spatially structured aggregations, with neonates and young‐of‐the‐year concentrated in shallow reef‐associated areas. Temporal variation in catch per unit effort (CPUE) indicated recruitment pulses

Integrated Phytochemical and Pharmacological Investigation of Mentha aquatica L.: Anti‐Inflammatory, Analgesic, and Safety Evidence From In Vivo Studies

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Mentha aquatica decocted extract contained mainly phenolic acids and showed a favorable oral safety profile in mice, with no significant subacute toxicity. Intraperitoneal administration caused dose‐dependent toxicity. The extract exhibited significant dose‐dependent anti‐inflammatory and analgesic activities in rodent models, supporting its potential ...

Comparative Morphology and Homology of the Hyoid Apparatus and Associated Muscles in Beloniform Fishes (Teleostei: Atherinomorpha)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 8, August 2026.
Homology of the branchiostegals rays in atherinomorph fishes demonstrated by the position of the rays relative to the interhyoideus muscle. In beloniform outgroups, above, the two groups of branchiostegal rays are separated by the interhyoideus. In beloniform fishes, below, only one group of branchiostegal rays is present.

Semi‐Natural Habitats Buffer the Effects of Crop Diversification on Arthropod Pest Control Services in Agricultural Landscapes

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
Crop diversification is often promoted to enhance biological pest control in agricultural landscapes, but its effects remain context‐dependent. Using data from 742 landscapes across 13 countries, we found that crop diversification did not increase overall natural enemy abundance or biological control potential, but mainly increased both specialist ...

Environmental DNA and Conventional Sampling Capture Complementary Patterns of Ichthyofaunal Diversity in the Selangor River Estuary, Malaysia

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Mangrove estuaries are a key ecosystem for coastal fishery resources, especially in developing nations such as Malaysia. Using identical sampling points and duration for both eDNA metabarcoding and conventional sampling, fish community analyses highlight shared and unique taxa, variable taxonomic resolution, and the complementarity of eDNA ...

eDNA Collected by Custom‐Built Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) Reveals Spatio‐Temporal Shifts in Tropical Coral Reef Faunal Communities

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Self‐constructed Unmanned Surface Vehicles were deployed at coral reefs on Reunion Island to capture environmental DNA (eDNA), identifying changes in animal communities depending on the time of day and sampling station. These findings suggest specific sites for high‐frequency, long‐term eDNA monitoring using low‐cost mobile devices.

Consensus on future research directions in the phylum Rotifera

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Rotifers play key roles in aquatic ecosystems, yet significant uncertainty remains about their diversity and evolution, and further evidence is needed to determine how reliably their responses to global change and human impacts can inform conservation.
