Jellyfish blooms restructure plankton dynamics and trophic linkages in coastal waters
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Jellyfish blooms are increasing globally in frequency and intensity, introducing complex ecological interactions, yet the mechanisms by which they alter ecosystem structure remain poorly characterized due to a lack of sustained field observations.

Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Success of restoration strategies in preventing extirpation of 2 critically endangered coral species
Abstract An unprecedented marine heatwave in 2023 caused widespread coral bleaching and mortality throughout the Caribbean. In the Florida Keys (USA), 2 foundation species, elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) and staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis), were severely affected.

In this study we analyze the role of phylogeny, environment, and community structure on sociality. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) we aim to quantify the direct and indirect impacts of variables on behaviors including social grouping, reproduction, and space use among Carnivora species.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

芒萁是最早侵入红壤退化裸地的先锋植物,其侵入过程对土壤环境的改变在退化裸地生态恢复进程中具有重要意义。以福建省长汀县红壤侵蚀裸地为研究对象,分析测定退化裸地中芒萁侵入区和非侵入区土壤理化性质和细菌组成及多样性。结果表明:芒萁侵入裸地显著提高土壤最大持水量、土壤含水率、全碳、全氮、全钾、有机质和pH,并显著降低土壤容重;芒萁侵入区增加根瘤菌目和慢生根瘤菌属等14种土壤优势细菌,变形菌门和甲型(α)变形杆菌的相对丰度显著提高 ...

Effects of landscape fragmentation on floodplain fishes as revealed by species–habitat networks
Abstract How species interact with habitat patches is influenced primarily by habitat configuration (e.g., connectivity) and species’ functional traits. As levels of fragmentation increase, identifying the intricate connections between these components is crucial for biodiversity conservation.
