Effects of Recreational Boats on Harbour Porpoise Swimming Speed and Surfacing Interval Investigated by Two Synchronised UAVs

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study examines the impact of speed and proximity of recreational boats on the swimming speed and surfacing interval of one of the most common coastal cetacean species, the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), using data collected by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a key habitat for the vulnerable Belt Sea population.

Clarifying the Size–Frequency Relationship in Clownfish Acoustic Signals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Body size is the principal determinant of acoustic variation in anemonefish, reflecting both the mechanics of sound production and the size‐based structure of their social hierarchies. In Amphiprion percula, the absence of a reported size‐frequency relationship has led to the interpretation that small acoustic differences are rank‐specific. We

A Multi‐Taxa Approach to Estuarine Biomonitoring: Assessing Vertebrate Biodiversity and Ecological Continuity Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding in the Rance River (Brittany, France)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We applied eDNA metabarcoding to assess vertebrate diversity in the Rance Estuary, France, across five stations spanning marine to freshwater environments, including areas upstream and downstream of a tidal power plant dam. A total of 124 vertebrate MOTUs were detected, with community composition reflecting the estuarine gradient and species turnover ...

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 ...

Morphological instability in restored intertidal flats: How anthropogenic structures drive early‐stage evolution

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
The study focusses on the morphological evolution of worldwide restored intertidal flats. These intertidal flats initially experience high sedimentation rates after the opening of the connection with open waters. The anthropogenic structures cause high morphological instability and are eroded, leading to a self‐cannibalisation of the system.
