Towards Sustainable Shrimp Fisheries in a West Africa Lagoon: Gear Efficiency in the Nokoué Lagoon With Its Inlet

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The continued use of prohibited fishing gear in inland waters around the world poses a direct threat to the sound management of global fish stocks. This is also the case in Benin, where there has been a drastic decline in shrimp production since 2002, particularly in the Nokoué lagoon. This study aimed to compare the capture capacity (in space

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2613-2633, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2716-2734, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

‘Location Matters’: Incorporating Spatial Autocorrelation Into Modelling the Drivers of Cyanobacterial Biomass in Reservoirs of Northeastern Brazil

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 7, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Spatial autocorrelation (SAC) is a critical yet often overlooked component of ecological analyses, which can significantly influence the accuracy and interpretation of statistical models. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the spatial distribution of cyanobacteria biomass among tropical reservoirs at the watershed scale and to identify ...

Using Small Unoccupied Aerial System (sUAS) Multispectral Imagery to Compare Hydrodynamics Around Different Aged Patches of Marsh Vegetation

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 7, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Wetland vegetation influences water and sediment transport by altering flow resistance. Vegetation presence, stem density, leaf and stem morphology, and flexibility, among other characteristics, control the degree to which vegetation impacts transport patterns.

Multi‐Decadal Warming in Sweden Drove Fish Community Thermophilization Through Species Turnover in Marine Coastal Waters, but Was Limited in Brackish Coastal Waters and Lakes

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
Multi‐decadal warming in Sweden drove pronounced fish community turnover in marine coastal areas, with newly appearing Atlantic, predominantly warm‐affiliated species increasing richness (1). Species did not expand to brackish coasts (2). Local extirpations have recently increased in some areas (3).

Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.

Wildfire in the Surrounding Landscape Alters Limnological Conditions and Plankton Communities in a Tropical Reservoir

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildfires are becoming increasingly frequent and severe as a consequence of climate change. Their impacts on terrestrial ecosystems and on the atmosphere include the release of gases and ash, as well as enhanced soil susceptibility to erosion and the downstream transport of materials into aquatic systems.

Climate Change and Temperature‐Based Stratification in Shallow Lakes and Ponds in Warm Climate Regions

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Thermal stratification in shallow lakes (< 5 m, > 5 ha) and ponds (< 5 m, < 5 ha) in warm climate regions is understudied. A comprehensive review was done to identify the effects of climate change on stratification patterns, their effects on the ecology of shallow waterbodies and implications for management of shallow waterbodies.

Heat Perceptions, Behaviors, and Barriers of Unhoused Individuals in Germany

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 4, December 2026.
Across in‐depth interviews and a survey of 252 unhoused people in 13 German cities, many underestimated heat risks yet often experienced heat‐related fatigue, nausea, or faintness. Participants reported limited hydration and frequent eviction from cooling spots, heat‐aggravating medication whose dosage and storage were rarely adapted, and minimal sun ...
