Impact of the Highly Invasive Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) on Freshwater Macroinvertebrate Communities

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive non‐native species threaten freshwater ecosystems, disrupting the functioning and structure of the food chain and potentially leading to biodiversity loss. As omnivores, crayfish can modify their environment, directly affecting organisms such as macroinvertebrates.

Exploring the phylogenetic history of water striders (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) using genome‐skimming

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Using genome‐skimming, we provide a robust and comprehensive phylogeny of the Gerridae. Our data support the monophyly of all subfamilies except paraphyletic Gerrinae. Non‐monophyly was found for Gerrini, Metrobatini and Trepobatini. Additionally, we reaffirm the non‐monophyly of the genera Aquarius and Tenagogonus, both part of the Gerrinae.

An Upper Cretaceous arthropod assemblage from Villaggio del Pescatore (Campanian, Italy) and its implications for peri‐Tethyan palaeobiogeography and palaeoecology

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The Villaggio del Pescatore (VdP) fossil Lagerstätte represents the most significant Upper Cretaceous (lower–middle Campanian) palaeontological locality in Italy and the Mediterranean region. We present the first systematic revision of the VdP fossil assemblage with a focus on its previously undescribed arthropod fauna, providing new insights ...

Environmental and spatial determinants of aquatic and semi-aquatic Heteroptera diversity in Amazonian savanna streams

open access: yesEnvironmental Monitoring and Assessment
Abstract This study investigated how environmental and spatial factors structure aquatic (Nepomorpha) and semi-aquatic (Gerromorpha) Heteroptera communities in savanna streams of Marajó Island, eastern Amazon. A total of 1,038 individuals (32 species, seven families) were collected from 22 streams exposed to varying degrees of ...

Where Do You Fly From? Assessing Aerial Dispersal in Temporary Rivers Using Stable Isotopes

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Dispersal is a crucial ecological process that facilitates gene flow and species exchange within ecosystems. In temporary rivers (TRs), dispersal is a key driver of community assembly because it determines the ability of the organisms to adapt to seasonal drying and maintain stable populations.

Diversity of Water Bugs in Gujranwala District, Punjab, Pakistan

open access: yesJournal of Bioresource Management, 2017
Water bugs fall under the order Hemiptera, suborder Heteroptera, which is further divided into two types, i.e., semi-aquatic (Gerromorpha) and true water bugs (Nepomorpha). They play a vital role as biological control agents and also a source of food for

Effects of Goose Herbivory on Littoral Vegetation and Aquatic Macroinvertebrates During Breeding Season

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT During recent decades, increased populations of geese have raised concerns about their potential impact on the abundance and composition of shoreline vegetation through grazing, and how this may affect other organisms relying on the same vegetation for food or refuge.
