Topic Modeling of Fatty Acid Studies: Evaluating Environmental Changes in Freshwater Ecosystems
International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, June 2026.ABSTRACT Fatty acids (FAs) are biochemical molecules with vital structural and metabolic functions in all living organisms. Over the last decades, FA analysis in ecological studies has garnered significant attention due to its diverse applicability, such as taxonomic support for species identification, investigations on trophic interactions, and ...

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, June 2026.ABSTRACT The European perch Perca fluviatilis and pikeperch Sander lucioperca can co‐occur, potentially competing for food resources. However, few studies have addressed the potential feeding competition between these species. We used carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis to assess the potential trophic competition between these species in two ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract During foraging activity, baleen whales are generally dependent on the occurrence of dense prey patches. These are largely influenced by the interaction between ocean currents and the vertical distribution of individual prey. Identifying the spatio‐temporal dynamics of the areas where prey form dense aggregations, at submeso scale (~ 10 km ...

Urea provides an important nitrogen source for microbial populations in an ultraoligotrophic sea
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Urea is an organic nitrogen (N) compound directly utilized by both heterotrophic prokaryotes and some photoautotrophs. Reports of either ambient urea concentrations or urea uptake rates from the ultraoligotrophic eastern Mediterranean Sea are lacking. We investigated urea distribution and uptake in the upper water column in the Levantine basin during ...

Acoustic evidence for topographic blocking on a steep submarine canyon wall
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Diel vertical migration (DVM) is the largest mass‐movement of animals on Earth, with profound ecological and biogeochemical consequences. DVM has mostly been studied in the open ocean; however, at steep slopes, pelagic animals including vertical migrators must contend with the seafloor, emphasizing the importance of understanding DVM in these ...
