From Permits to Samples: Addressing Key Challenges for High‐Quality Reference Genome Generation in Europe

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐quality reference genome assemblies have become essential for deepening our understanding of biodiversity, yet obtaining them for many species remains surprisingly challenging. Drawing on experiences from the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) community, we focus on permit and sample‐handling procedures leading up to nucleic acid ...

Does the Cave Environment Limit Functional Diversity? Rethinking Patterns in Oniscidea Assemblages From a Neotropical Karst

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cave habitats strongly filter functional traits, constraining the diversity of terrestrial isopod communities along the epigean–hypogean gradient. Functional turnover decreases while richness differences increase in hypogean systems, reflecting uneven occupation of trait space rather than simple trait replacement.

Global Warming Affects the Pathogenesis of Important Fish Diseases in European Aquaculture

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
The effect of global warming on pathogens and their fish hosts that could exacerbate the negative outcomes for aquaculture. Changes in farming practices and the development of innovative mitigation tools may prove essential to cope with the effects and impacts of rising water temperatures on fish diseases in Europe.

Phylogenomics and the evolution of larval feeding habits in the blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Phylogenomic data from anchored hybrid enrichment provide a new phylogeny of Calliphoridae that delimits the family and confirms division into eight monophyletic subfamilies. Fossil‐calibrated divergence times place the origin of Calliphoridae in the mid‐Eocene (ca. 41 Mya) along with other rapidly radiating families of oestroid Diptera. Reconstruction

Catchment Productivity Controls Local Species Richness of Hyporheic Invertebrate Communities in Tropical New Caledonia Streams

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
How does the local species richness (LSR) of stream invertebrate communities relate to the terrestrial productivity of the stream catchment? Using generalized linear models and variance partitioning, we quantified the independent and joint effects of local and catchment predictors on LSR of hyporheic invertebrate communities in New Caledonia streams ...

The contribution of metabolic theory to ecology

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) has been an important strand in ecology for almost a quarter of a century, renewing interest in the importance of body size and the role of energy. The core of the MTE is a hydrodynamic model of the vertebrate cardiovascular system that predicts allometric scaling of metabolic rate with exponents in the ...

Does the Post‐Natal Social Environment Influence Cognitive Development in a Social Gecko?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
The generality of the link between the social environment and the development of cognition is not well understood on a broad taxonomic scale. We utilize developmental behavioral plasticity to test the causal link between the early social environment and the development of non‐social cognitive skills in the facultative social tokay gecko (Gekko gecko ...

What Are the Phylogenetic Limits to Pollinator Diversity?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 5, Page 697-703, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Although huge progress has been made over the past 200 years in identifying the diversity of pollinators of angiosperms and other plants, new discoveries continue to be made each year, especially in tropical areas and in the fossil record. In this perspective article I address the following questions: Just how diverse are the pollinators and ...

Interpreting a Sudden Population Decline in a Long‐Lived Species (Malaclemys terrapin rhizophorarum)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Annual sex‐specific survival estimates for mangrove diamond‐backed terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin rhizophorarum) in Everglades National Park from 2001 to 2019. ABSTRACT Long‐term ecological studies are critical for providing insight into population dynamics and detecting population declines, particularly for species of conservation concern.
