Hitchhikers on an Invader: The Parasitic Leech Myzobdella lugubris and the Epibiotic Barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus on the Atlantic Blue Crab Callinectes sapidus in Southwestern Europe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study documents the first worldwide record of the parasitic leech Myzobdella lugubris and the commensal barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus associated with invasive Atlantic blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) in southwestern Europe. Molecular analyses confirmed the identity of these Western Atlantic native species, highlighting a complex multi‐level co‐

Ocean acidification at the crossroads I: Harmonizing unpurified and purified meta‐cresol purple spectrophotometric pHT measurements based on absorbance data

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Consistent monitoring of seawater spectrophotometric pH on the total hydrogen ion scale (pHT) has been questioned by an evolving method, with changes in parameterization and the purity of the meta‐cresol purple (mCP). Using real seawater samples, we demonstrate that spectrophotometric pHT measurements obtained with unpurified (UNPUR) and ...

The Microbiology and Geochemistry of the Shallow‐Water Hydrothermal Vents of the Gulf of Naples, Italy

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study investigated the interplay between fluid geochemistry and microbial diversity in the shallow‐water hydrothermal vents of the gulf of Naples, Italy. We found that hydrothermal fluid chemistry and the geological settings where the vents are hosted play a key role in shaping microbial distribution.

Taxonomic, Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity Behave Differently Under Disturbance Pressure and Complex Land‐Use History: Assembly Rules in Grassland Communities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Grasslands in the Alps are undergoing land‐use change triggering ecological succession and affecting community composition. Taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity are used as complementary information to infer on community assembly processes, supporting conservation practices.

Mapping Mediterranean bentho‐demersal communities to better inform marine conservation

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Marine protected areas are one of the most common conservation tools being implemented worldwide to reach conservation targets, but their implementation does not usually take the heterogeneous distribution of bentho‐demersal communities into account.

Effects of Increased Water Salinity and Temperature on the Development of Rainbow Trout Fry Syndrome (RTFS) Caused by Flavobacterium psychrophilum

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Flavobacterium psychrophilum, the etiological agent of Rainbow Trout Fry Syndrome (RTFS) and Bacterial Coldwater Disease (BCWD), causes varying degrees of disease and mortality in salmonid aquaculture worldwide. Because its treatment relies on the use of antimicrobials, alternative interventions are of environmental and economic interest.

At‐sea distribution of seals on the Northwest European Shelf: Towards transboundary conservation and management

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study provides the first comprehensive, regionally scalable distribution estimates for pinnipeds across the NWES and its constituent countries. The modelling framework is adaptable to other central‐place and migratory species, supporting transboundary biodiversity assessments and international conservation policy. We discuss common limitations and

Rare and Vulnerable: Mires of the Western Alps Are Changing Rapidly Under Climate Pressures

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 1, January/March 2026.
Resurveys of Sphagnum‐dominated mires in the Western Alps revealed marked vegetation changes over 12‐ and 25‐year periods. Observed patterns include increased species richness, woody plant encroachment, and declines in mire specialists, indicative of the progressive drying.

Long‐Term Exposure of Bivalves to Ocean Acidification and Warming Under Ecologically‐Realistic Conditions Reveals Risks for Aquaculture by 2050 in the Mediterranean

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Bivalve mollusks are vital to coastal economies and food security, yet the impact of ocean warming and acidification on aquaculture remains unclear due to a lack of ground truth data on future production. Most experimental studies rely on short‐term, single‐factor experiments in stable and food‐unlimited environments, making it difficult to ...
