Flooding affects fluctuating asymmetry but not growth of a riparian orbweaving spider
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 547-557, June 2026.In a mesocosm experiment we assessed the impact of flood on aquatic insect emergence and on spider development using geometric morphometric analysis of fluctuating asymmetry. We observed 45% higher emergence in flooded mesocosm throughout the season. Spiders did not grow bigger but exhibited ~15% lower fluctuating asymmetry than in controls.

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...

Climate and Land‐Use Change May Reshape the Biogeography of Freshwater Crabs Across China
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.We employed ensemble species distribution models to investigate how climate and land‐use change will impact habitat suitability for two freshwater crab families (Potamidae and Sesarmidae) across China. Temperature emerged as the dominant driver, with cropland and urban land having strong, family‐specific effects on suitability. Future scenarios predict

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.For the first time in Gammarus insensibilis, a single‐organism 1H NMR metabolomics approach was applied to investigate the intrapopulation variability in growth trajectories showing how divergent size classes, despite being of the same age, reflect alternative resource‐allocation strategies.

Catchment Influences on Carbon Stable Isotope Variation in Trout; Might It Be Methane?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Trout stable carbon isotope values vary significantly and appear to relate to catchment characteristics. Low carbon stable isotope values are linked to catchments with low drainage soil and high cover of pasture land use. This is likely to be linked to high levels of methane‐derived carbon entering the stream food web.

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.The rapid adoption of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods has drastically changed biodiversity monitoring efforts. It is often claimed that eDNA methods are more sensitive and efficient than conventional biodiversity monitoring methods, but it is often unclear what metrics support this claim.

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Phylogeny offers a powerful framework for understanding mechanisms driving community assembly. Yet, most empirical studies in community phylogenetics rely on observational approaches. In this study, we explore how two important drivers of community assembly—habitat size and predator presence—shape species richness and phylogenetic relatedness ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.This review reveals major genetic data gaps for Philippine mangrove fauna, especially invertebrates, limiting species‐level eDNA detection. By compiling 48 years of biodiversity records and assessing reference library coverage, it highlights the need for targeted sequencing and shows how integrating eDNA with conventional surveys strengthens monitoring

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.Filters and freshwater sponge tissue recover a comparable number of taxa through eDNA metabarcoding. Filters detect more taxa, followed by sponge tissue when host‐blocking primers are used. Each method reveals different community compositions, so combining both approaches is recommended to achieve a more realistic representation of the metazoan ...
