Spatial Factors Outweigh Environmental Variables in Explaining Fish Beta Diversity Within A Massive Anthropogenically Homogenized Water‐Transfer Canal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
In physically unobstructed and homogenized artificial ecosystems, dispersal limitation driven by geographic distance and unique hydraulic conditions replace environmental filtering as the primary deterministic process shaping diversity patterns. Furthermore, significant regulatory effects of food resources through trophic cascades reinforce this ...

PondNet – towards a global network of experiments on the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Global change is reshaping the distribution of biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Predicting the long‐term consequences of such changes remains a challenge due to a need for a clear understanding of the mechanisms underpinning ecosystem‐level responses, as well as the role of geographical and environmental contingencies.

Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 6, August 2026.
Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.

Strong spatial partitioning of mesozooplankton in a dynamic frontal zone shapes trophic transfer efficiency

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Frontal zones are often areas of increased biological productivity and have hydrographic gradients on short spatial scales. The small scale of gradients poses a challenge in identifying differences in zooplankton community structure and trophic transfer efficiency through the pelagic food web.

Morphological and trophic coupling distinguishes coral clades along a light gradient

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Light availability is critical to the growth and survival of most scleractinian corals due to their endosymbiotic relationship with photosynthetic dinoflagellates. Natural light gradients are expected to be associated with shifts in coral physiology, morphology, and trophic strategy.
