Genetic and phenotypic comparison of natural and translocated populations of a pond‐breeding amphibian

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.
The translocations resulted in populations that do not differ much from natural populations in their genetic structure and fitness‐related life history traits. Abstract Translocations are a commonly used method in conservation practice and are often viewed as successful if a new population persists.

Eine Perspektive zu interdisziplinären Ansätzen in der Chemotaxis(forschung)

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 47, November 17, 2025.
Chemotaxis ist die Bewegung individueller Agenten hin zu oder weg von einem chemischen Stimulus. Dieses Phänomen wird in den verschiedensten Fachbereichen untersucht, von Biologie hin zu Physik und auch im Ingenieurwesen. Dieses Perspektivpapier zielt darauf ab, neue Entwicklungen im Feld darzustellen und die Vereinheitlichung von Terminologie zu ...

Perils of a Drifter: Larval Drift and Entrainment of Freshwater Catfish (Tandanus tandanus) in the Murray–Darling Basin, Australia

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The freshwater catfish Tandanus tandanus, a species with riverine populations listed as endangered in the Murray–Darling Basin, faces significant conservation challenges. Knowledge about early life stage dispersal remains limited, yet recent larval netting over two spawning seasons in the Macquarie River and adjoining irrigation channels fed ...

Craniogenetic studies in Sus scrofa: With emphasis on the ‘orbitosphenoid’ problem

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 7, Page 1931-1943, July 2025.
Abstract The orbitosphenoid is a skeletal element of the endocranium of extant mammals. However, it has also been described in many of their fossil ancestors. Craniogenetic studies show that it is composed of two types of bone: first, the cartilaginous ala orbitalis and parts of the trabecular plate are transformed by endochondral ossification; second,

Beneath the buzz: Quantifying nest locations and densities of ground‐nesting wild bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila)

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1334-1349, July 2025.
Abstract Wild bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) are important pollinators and essential for maintaining ecosystem health. The majority of bee species are ground‐nesting, and all bees spend most of their lifetime inside the nest. Still, most studies and monitoring schemes assess wild bees during flower visitation, allowing no conclusion about their nest ...

Monitoring Free‐Living Honeybee Colonies in Germany: Insights Into Habitat Preferences, Survival Rates, and Citizen Science Reliability

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
In this study we examined the habitats, nesting sites, and survival rates of free‐living colonies through personal monitoring of nest sites in Munich (N = 107) and the coordination of Citizen Science monitoring across Germany (N = 423). On average, only 12% of the personally monitored colonies in Munich survived annually, a figure that aligns well with

Variation in population size, nest distribution, colony extent, and timing of movements at the largest known parrot colony

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
Psittaciformes are among the most threatened birds, and population size and trend estimates are needed to aid conservation. The burrowing parrot Cyanoliseus patagonus is undergoing substantial changes in its population size, due to habitat degradation, trapping for the pet trade, and persecution as crop pest.

Addressing Challenges in Simulating Inter–Annual Variability of Gross Primary Production

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract A long‐standing challenge in studying the global carbon cycle has been understanding the factors controlling inter–annual variation (IAV) of carbon fluxes, and improving their representations in existing biogeochemical models. Here, we compared an optimality‐based model and a semi‐empirical light use efficiency model to understand how current ...
