A new species of the cave-fish genus Lucifuga (Ophidiiformes, Bythitidae), from eastern Cuba [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2020
Recently, a barcoding study and a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Cuban species of the cave-fish genus Lucifuga Poey, 1858 revealed the existence of different evolutionary lineages that were previously unknown or passed unnoticed by morphological ...

Taking eDNA underground: Factors affecting eDNA detection of subterranean fauna in groundwater

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1257-1274, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Stygofauna are aquatic fauna that have evolved to live underground. The impacts of anthropogenic climate change, extraction and pollution on groundwater pose major threats to groundwater health, prompting the need for efficient and reliable means to detect and monitor stygofaunal communities.

The role of refuges in biological invasions: A systematic review

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 1244-1271, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Ecological refuges buffer organisms against stressors and mediate a range of species interactions. However, their role in the context of biological invasions has yet to be synthesized, despite the increasing prevalence and impact of non‐native species.

Effects of Multiple Drivers of Environmental Change on Native and Invasive Macroalgae in Nearshore Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems

Water Resources Research, Volume 59, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDE) are increasingly recognized as critical components of sustainable groundwater management, but are threatened by multiple drivers of environmental change. Despite this importance, data that link drivers of hydrologic change to GDEs are scarce.

Aliens in caves: the global dimension of biological invasions in subterranean ecosystems

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 849-867, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Alien species are a significant threat to natural ecosystems and human economies. Despite global efforts to address this challenge, the documented number of alien species is rapidly increasing worldwide. However, the magnitude of the impact of alien species may vary significantly across habitats.

Nocturnal surveys of lined seahorses reveal increased densities and seasonal recruitment patterns

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Night reveals lined seahorses from an isolated saltwater lake displaying behaviors previously undescribed when compared to daytime. Far more seahorses were observed at night compared with day, with evidence of nocturnal juvenile recruitment. We observed cryptic behaviors during the day and upright body posture and higher position in the water column at

Carbonates in the Critical Zone

Earth's Future, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Earth's Critical Zone (CZ), the near‐surface layer where rock is weathered and landscapes co‐evolve with life, is profoundly influenced by the type of underlying bedrock. Previous studies employing the CZ framework have focused primarily on landscapes dominated by silicate rocks.
