Ecological pathways connecting riverine drought to community change across space and time

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract Climate change is intensifying droughts via reduced snowpack and accelerated snowmelt in high mountains globally, altering community structure in snow‐dependent rivers. To predict impending ecological change in rivers, we must understand the importance of the abiotic and biotic mechanisms connecting hydrologic change to biodiversity change and

Idiosyncrasy of feather mite intensity and prevalence across passerine bird species: a comparative study

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.
Symbionts are key elements of ecosystems, by playing important roles in shaping the biology and ecology of their hosts. However, the factors determining symbiont loads across host species are still unclear. Nowadays, we know that the intensity and prevalence of feather mites, the most diverse group of avian ectosymbionts, differ strongly between ...

Older Lineages of Oribatid Mites in Mountain Ranges Have Broader Geographic Ranges and Exhibit More Generalistic Traits

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
We investigated the radiation and trait diversity of soil oribatid mites from two mountain ranges (the Alps and Changbai Mountain). We found that phylogenetically older oribatid mites of mountain ranges have broader trophic variation, larger geographical range sizes, and more often reproduce via parthenogenesis.

Feeding Ecology of the Critically Endangered Gobio insuyanus (Gobionidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
This study investigates the diet of the critically endangered Gobio insuyanus in the Insuyu spring–stream system, revealing omnivorous feeding habits with a preference for detritus, Gammarids, and Diptera larvae. Ontogenetic dietary shifts were observed, with mature individuals specializing in larger prey, while habitat and seasonal variations ...

Novel use of a servosphere to study apodous insects: Investigation of blow fly post‐feeding larval dispersal

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 14-21, March 2025.
A servosphere was used to record the speed, directionality and phototaxis of individual post‐feeding larvae of two species of blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) on a smooth plastic surface over time. The servosphere rotates to compensate for the movement of an insect placed at its apex, thereby facilitating its unimpeded locomotion in any direction and ...
