Are Hibernators Toast? Global Climate Change and Prolonged Seasonal Hibernation
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.This review examines how global climate change impacts mammalian hibernators, emphasizing physiological, ecological and phenological aspects. Many hibernating species already inhabit extreme environments, thus are at risk as climate variability intensifies.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Soil nematodes are fundamentally aquatic animals, requiring water to move, feed, and reproduce. Nonetheless, they are ubiquitous in desert soils because they can enter an anhydrobiotic state that allows them to persist when water is biologically ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Freshwater rock pools are ephemeral and fragile habitats that support specialised animal taxa. While distributed worldwide, these habitats are usually neglected and overlooked. We used DNA metabarcoding and metaphylogeographic approaches to study inter and intraspecific tardigrade biodiversity to identify their biogeographic patterns to ...

FEBS Open Bio, 2020 The tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris can undergo anhydrobiosis. Several chemicals that inhibit successful anhydrobiosis in H. exemplaris have been identified, and these chemicals inhibit the activity of signaling molecules.

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications
Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1495-1523, October 2025.The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

Metabolites, 2013 Cyanobacteria have two types of sunscreen pigments, scytonemin and mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs). These secondary metabolites are thought to play multiple roles against several environmental stresses such as UV radiation and desiccation.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Dispersal strategies are vital for sessile or passively moving organisms, profoundly influencing the distribution and survival of plant and small‐sized animal species. The role of large mammals in dispersal and habitat (re)colonisation is well recognised, yet their full contribution across propagule taxa, various dispersers and dispersal ...

Exposure, body size, and zooplankton overland dispersal capacity
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 1, Page 15-24, January 2025.Abstract The dormant life stages of freshwater zooplankton are generally resistant to environmental exposure, and this facilitates their overland dispersal. However, environmental exposure and overland dispersal are less well studied for the active life stages of freshwater zooplankton.
