Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...

Worldwide Invasions of Centrarchidae: The Dark Side of the Sunfish Family

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater fish invasions are major drivers of global ecological change, disrupting native biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, many invasive fish hold significant socioeconomic value, resulting in conflict over their management. Centrarchidae, which are globally distributed and are important for sportfishing and aquaculture, are now

Polyesterase activity and thermostability of carboxylesterases from Thermoleophilum album YS‐3

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Three novel α/β‐hydrolases from thermophilic bacterium Thermoleophilum album display carboxylesterase and polyesterase activity. These enzymes hydrolyse PET, PLA and PCL both at high and moderate temperatures. TA21 shows superior activity, efficiently converting MHET to terephthalic acid. Structural features underlying substrate binding highlight their

Upper thermal tolerance in aquatic insects

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2015
•Owing to the characteristics of their contrasting habitats, aquatic and terrestrial insects will respond differently to global environmental change.•A synthesis of aquatic insect thermal tolerance studies identified a weak latitudinal pattern of upper thermal traits.•Average upper thermal tolerances of aquatic insects are generally lower than those of

Urban Aquatic Insects

2019
The increasing growth of urban areas on natural ecosystems has seriously affected wetlands. Aquatic insects, as key components of urban wetlands, are critically impacted by human environmental changes and practices. The main threats are those derived from the lost, replacement, or fragmentation of natural habitats, ecosystem homogenization, and ...
