Understanding the environmental factors that impact ringed seal haul-out behaviour will reduce bias in aerial surveys. We deployed camera traps near Ulukhaktok, Northwest Territories, Canada in mid-May 2023, 2024 and 2025 facing open water leads in the sea ice to document haul-out behaviour of ringed seals under varying weather conditions. We used generalized additive mixed models to analyse the presence/absence and number of ringed seals hauled out. We found that high temperatures (&gt; −4.3°C), low wind speeds (&lt; 20 km/h), and high barometric pressure systems (101.4–101.8 kPa) increased the probability and number of ringed seals hauling out. We also found that haul-outs occurred at lower temperatures under conditions of low and moderate wind speeds, and that the number of seals hauled out increased at lower temperatures at low wind speeds. We identify specific ‘ideal weather’ parameters for aerial surveys, which will reduce availability bias when calculating density and abundance estimates.</p>","PeriodicalId":49883,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology-An Evolutionary Perspective","volume":"47 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/maec.70114","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148752486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These trends are consistent with previous studies. For example, Zinc, which is a cofactor in many enzymes, plays a role in inorganic carbon acquisition; under lower pH, reduced enzymatic metal requirements likely explain the lower Zn concentrations observed. <i>Nitzschia navis-varingica</i> also had significantly lower levels of Co under lower pH. Both <i>Thalassiosira pseudonana</i> and <i>Nitzschia navis-varingica</i> showed lower Fe concentrations under CO₂ treatment.

This study examined temporal changes in predicted habitat suitability for reef-associated fish across Indonesian waters from 2000 to 2023. Occurrence records were spatially thinned and modeled using MaxEnt with target-group background selection to reduce sampling bias. Model calibration was performed by comparing regularization multiplier values, and RM = 2 was selected for the final models. Four six-year periods were analyzed using satellite-derived oceanographic predictors representing thermal conditions, nutrients, productivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and suspended particulate matter. Model performance was consistently good, with mean test AUC values ranging from 0.841 to 0.900. Nutrient-related and water-quality variables were the most influential predictors of relative habitat suitability. Suspended particulate matter was the strongest contributor in T1, whereas dissolved iron dominated during T2–T4, followed by phosphate. Temperature variables contributed less than nutrient-related predictors, suggesting that reef-associated fish suitability in Indonesian waters is strongly associated with regional biogeochemical and water-quality gradients. Predicted suitable area showed a non-linear temporal pattern, declining from T1 to T2 before increasing in T3 and T4. However, these patterns should be interpreted as changes in relative environmental suitability, not direct evidence of population recovery or ecosystem resilience.

Several studies performed with various genetic marker types have revealed two distinct genetic groups (northern and southern), but no further genetic differentiation. Here, we describe the first use of ddRAD-seq-derived SNPs to examine the genetic structuring of <i>P. canaliculus</i>. Using 185 neutral and 28 outlier SNPs from 32 sampling sites, two major genetic groups (northern and south-west—with a genetic break at ~42° S, below the Cook Strait/Raukawa Moana region) were confirmed. The use of the outlier panel revealed stronger genetic differences in allelic frequencies than markers under neutral expectations. Moreover, the SNP data provided, for the first time, evidence of substructure over the extensive range of the population that was sampled: six further genetic subgroups were identified within the two main groups. Seascape analysis revealed that genetic variation correlates strongly with variables related to food availability, habitat composition and current speed, reflecting selective pressure and genetic signals of local adaptation, suggesting these processes play a key role modulating the genetic structure of the green-lipped mussel. Gene flow networks suggest migration from the south-west group into the northern group. This pattern of migration is also revealed in contemporary oceanographic models of larval dispersal, which indicate high historical gene flow between the two groups, and a minor influence of genetic drift.

The Garibaldi, <i>Hypsypops rubicundus</i>, a long-lived and iconic damselfish endemic to the eastern Pacific, displays a striking carotenoid-based orange-red coloration. To provide genomic resources for studying coloration genes in this species, we generated and assembled a high-quality genome using Oxford Nanopore long reads, yielding a 781.7 Mb assembly with 96% BUSCO completeness. As a proof of concept, we investigated the carotenoid-associated transport gene kif5b, which encodes a kinesin-1 motor protein involved in intracellular pigment mobilization. The kif5b gene in <i>H. rubicundus</i> comprises 25 exons and shows conserved organization relative to other damselfishes, but exhibits a unique amino acid substitution within a conserved nucleotide-binding motif (N3). Specifically, position 238 contains a leucine in <i>H. rubicundus</i>, whereas other damselfishes possess a glutamic acid or serine at this site. This substitution replaces a polar residue with a hydrophobic one, potentially affecting protein conformation or function. Phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial genomes and kif5b exons were largely congruent with published relationships.

Using a 59-year migration time series from Cape Estaca de Bares (Galicia, NW Spain), we first characterized long-term migration phenology. To evaluate the potential impact of HPAI, we then focused on the most standardized 20-year period (2004–2023; 35,828 observations). We first built a climate-based model using pre-HPAI data (2004–2020) to quantify the influence of weather conditions on the number of migrating great skuas. This model was subsequently used to generate predictions for the post-HPAI period (2021–2023) under observed weather conditions, allowing us to assess whether recent declines exceeded expectations based on weather variability alone. Migration counts revealed substantial interannual variation, with the sharpest decline in 2022 and 2023, coinciding with the HPAI outbreak. Importantly, observed migration numbers during the post-HPAI period were consistently lower than predicted based on weather conditions alone, indicating that weather cannot explain the recent decline. These results might suggest that the reduction in the number of migrating great skuas reflects the impact of an additional large-scale process consistent with the HPAI outbreak, mirroring similar trends observed in breeding colonies.

A centuries-old weir fishery for herring juveniles, never monitored, has collapsed from chronic GoM overfishing. Razorbills (<i>Alca torda</i>) and Atlantic puffins (<i>Fratercula arctica</i>) nest on nearby Machias Seal Island, feeding their chicks with these herring. Using published data, this study demonstrates probabilistic relationships between weir-fishery landings of juvenile herring (~availability) and relative portions of young herring fed to both razorbill and puffin chicks. Herring-diet differences for razorbills suggest nuanced forecasting of prospective imminent fishery collapses. Facing collapse, razorbills are more likely to capture herring in addition to less-pelagic alternate species (hake, sand lance), while puffins make more use of the alternates. Previous research, based on exploratory correlation and regression, did not demonstrate these connections for the Grand Manan region. As indicator “units,” the probabilistic herring-seabird relationships raise the potential of interspecific corroboration in herring recruitment forecasts. For example, when landings are low, razorbill use is greater than puffin use, and razorbill herring biomass use remains moderate-to-high, fisheries for juveniles could place increased multiyear limits on prospective catches system-wide. Such relationships could be of considerable precautionary use, since systemic fishing-induced forage deficiencies have become the norm. With the erosion of resilience, ecosystem components are now at high risk of extirpation in the northeastern GoM.
