ABSTRACT The expanding demand for platinum group elements (PGEs) in industrial and medical applications has led to their increasing accumulation in aquatic sediments. However, their ecological impacts remain poorly understood, particularly for sediment‐dwelling invertebrates. This study assessed the toxicity of platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) across a

Validating COI eDNA Metabarcoding Primers for Detection of Subterranean Fauna
ABSTRACT Subterranean ecosystems host a diverse range of ancient fauna, but studying these ecosystems is challenging due to significant sampling difficulties. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding offers a promising approach for monitoring subterranean biodiversity, yet issues such as primer bias and non‐target amplification can complicate its ...

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.

Applying the Ecological Trap Concept to Cetaceans
ABSTRACT Wild animals may select poor‐quality habitats due to mismatches between perceived and actual habitat quality, creating ecological traps. Although well explored in terrestrial systems, this concept remains underutilized for marine species.

Contribution of rare and common species to subterranean species richness patterns
Aim Common species contribute more to species richness patterns (SRPs) than rare species in most studies. Our aim was to test this hypothesis using a novel model system, species living exclusively in subterranean habitats.

Body Size Evolution in Burying Beetles (Staphylinidae: Silphinae: Nicrophorus)
Burying beetles (genus Nicrophorus) exhibit broad, skewed variation in body size, which influences carcass use and competitive interactions. Using a large dataset of morphological and geographic data, we show that body size evolution is shaped by phylogenetic history, biogeography, and ecological interactions, with divergence especially pronounced ...

Konza Prairie Biological Station, located within one of the largest remaining areas of native tallgrass prairie, is unique in that grazing and prescribed burn treatments, as well as surface water permanence, vary spatially. We found that aquatic macroinvertebrate communities vary with streamflow permanence, but not grazing presence or prescribed burns ...
