Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2839-2873, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Preliminary Analysis of Hemocyanins in Hemolymph Plasma of Baikal Endemic Amphipods [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2016
Two-dimensional electrophoresis of plasma hemolymph proteins of several endemic Baikal amphipod species showed that, as expected, hemocyanin is the main major protein in plasma of these species.

Trophic Interactions Between Invasive Round Goby (Neogobius melanostomus) and Native Burbot (Lota lota) in the Lower Oder River, Germany

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) has become widespread in European rivers, raising concerns about trophic interactions with native benthic fishes. We investigated dietary composition and trophic niche characteristics of native burbot (Lota lota) and invasive round goby in the Lower Oder River to assess the extent of resource ...

Small HSPs molecular weights as new indication to the hypothesis of segregated status of thermophilic relict Gmelinoides fasciatus among baikal and palearctic amphipods [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2011
Among the great diverse of Baikal fauna of amphipods (more than 350 species and subspecies) Gmelinoides fasciatus (Stebbing 1899) takes the special place. It is characterized by a high morphological variability and wide thermal-adaptive possibilities. By

Multi‐Isotopic Reconstruction of Prehistoric Diet and Trophic Organization in Cis‐Baikal Using Zinc and Amino Acid Nitrogen Isotopes

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 3, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Reconstructing dietary practices in prehistoric hunter‐gatherer populations requires disentangling complex ecological, cultural, and chronological variables. In the Cis‐Baikal region of Siberia, subsistence systems relied on combinations of freshwater and terrestrial resources, including fish, Baikal seals, and terrestrial game ...

Activity levels and predator detection by amphipods infected with an acanthocephalan parasite, Pomphorhynchus laevis

, 2003
The acanthocephalan parasite Pomphorhynchus laevis (Müller, 1776) uses freshwater amphipods as its intermediate host. In order to complete the life cycle, the infected amphipod must be consumed by a fish, where the acanthocephalan will mature and ...

The missing piece to nutrient management in lakes: Animal‐mediated nutrient cycling

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Nutrient cycling in freshwater ecosystems is an essential ecosystem service, partly facilitated by animals through transport and release of bioavailable nutrients needed for sustaining primary production. To date, the importance of animal‐mediated nutrient cycling remains poorly understood in lakes. Additionally, the contribution of animals to
