Isolation and characterization of 8 microsatellite loci for the ‘‘killer shrimp’’, an invasive Ponto-Caspian amphipod Dikerogammarus villosus (Crustacea: Amphipoda) [PDF]

, 2014
Dikerogammarus villosus is a freshwater amphipod of the Ponto-Caspian origin recognized as one of the 100 worst alien species in Europe, having negative impact on biodiversity and functioning of the invaded aquatic ecosystems.

Living at the Interface: Behavioral, Evolutionary and Ecological Insights of Spring Use by Highly Mobile Stygobiont Crustaceans, Troglocaris planinensis (Decapoda: Atyidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The study provides evidence that animals considered as strictly linked to subterranean habitats can exhibit behavioral responses to constraints occurring in surface environments. We studied the blind and depigmented shrimp Troglocaris planinensis in the Classical Karst using field and experimental approaches.

The Benefit of Maternal Care and Infanticide by Males as Reproductive Strategies in a Caprellid Amphipod

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
In the marine amphipod Caprella kominatoensis, males perform infanticide to terminate maternal care and accelerate female molting for mating opportunities. However, we found that maternal defense is effective when the female parent is larger than the intruding male.

Field Survey of Freshwater Invertebrates Reveals That Several Groups Are Potential Carriers of the Fungal Pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The amphibian disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has devastated global amphibian biodiversity. The specific reasons for its rapid global spread, especially to pristine areas, are not well understood. Freshwater invertebrates might function as carriers of Bd, but the diversity and extent

The IceShark, an effective method for sampling plankton under sea ice

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Seasonal sea ice plays a crucial role in shaping coastal ecosystem dynamics throughout the circumpolar region. Of particular interest to oceanographers is the ice‐ocean interface which functions as a multidimensional habitat, supporting both sympagic algae and pelagic phytoplankton in the under‐ice surface waters.

Does the invasive plant Elymus athericus modify fish diet in tidal salt marshes? [PDF]

, 2005
The invasion of Mont-Saint-Michel Bay salt marshes (France) by a grass species (Elymus athericus) has led to important changes in vegetation cover, which is likely to modify the habitat for many invertebrates.

Marine trophic architecture and hidden ecological connections in the Strait of Magellan: keystone species and ecosystem resilience

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Understanding the ecological implications of species coexistence is central to biodiversity studies and to identify environmental and anthropogenic drivers of ecosystem dynamics, where ecological network analysis offers valuable insights. This study examines the complexity, structure, and potential responses to disturbances of the Strait of Magellan's ...

Macroinvertebrates and water quality: a teaching guide [PDF]

, 2002
Streams support a diverse community of plants and animals on or in the stream bed. These organisms comprise the benthos. Among the benthos are worms, molluscs, crustaceans, and larval insects.

Zooplankton in the temperate ocean display strong ties to pico‐plankton and seasonally variable trophic roles

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Trophic connections between the food web base and zooplankton affect the structure of marine food webs and fluxes to higher predators. The food that zooplankton consume shifts in response to prey resources, but specific zooplankton trophic sources remain unresolved over the dynamic seasonal cycle for many species.
