Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1877-1949, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

Inter‐Period and Inter‐Season Variability of Zooplankton of a Mountain Lake With an Emphasis on Under‐Ice Communities

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Only recently the under‐ice period is recognised as a time of plankton activity. However, most studies on under‐ice zooplankton focus on low‐land lakes over relatively short temporal scales; long‐term under‐ice zooplankton dynamics in mountain lakes remain largely unknown. We compared the under‐ice zooplankton community (one sampling per year;

A survey of bdelloid rotifers from coastal ponds in Southern Norway

Journal of Limnology
We report the results of the first survey of bdelloid rotifers, microscopic aquatic animals, in continental Norway, collected from coastal ponds in the Southern part of the country in Autumn 2021, using a morphological approach in species identification.

Deciphering the Patterns and Correlates of Zooplankton Functional Diversity in Mountain and Lowland Ponds

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity studies have usually been conducted considering only the taxonomic dimension of ecological communities. However, diversity measurements taking into account the functional traits of species may be more sensitive in capturing aspects of community functioning that are not apparent with the more traditional taxonomic approach ...

Arthropod Food Webs in the Foreland of a Retreating Greenland Glacier: Integrating Molecular Gut Content Analysis With Structural Equation Modelling

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
This study investigates the ecological dynamics of arthropod predators across a transect of an Arctic glacier foreland, to understand how climate change impacts predator–prey interactions. By integrating ecological observations with DNA metabarcoding, our research elucidates the role of the key prey species in shaping spider populations in these ...

Ultrastructure of the extraordinary pedal gland in Asplanchna aff. herricki (Rotifera: Monogononta)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 9, September 2024.
The freshwater rotifer Asplanchna aff. herricki possesses a singular pedal gland that secretes a long mucus thread while swimming. The gland is syncytial, binucleate, and produces large membrane‐bound secretion vesicles that fuse and eventually go through a phase transition to a mesh‐like secretion.

Evidence Supporting the Uptake and Genomic Incorporation of Environmental DNA in the “Ancient Asexual” Bdelloid Rotifer Philodina roseola

Life, 2016
Increasing evidence suggests that bdelloid rotifers regularly undergo horizontal gene transfer, apparently as a surrogate mechanism of genetic exchange in the absence of true sexual reproduction, in part because of their ability to withstand desiccation.

High‐throughput sequencing and fatty acid profile analyses of the Black Amur bream (Megalobrama terminalis) reveal variation in dietary niche associated with geographic segregation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.
This study provides valued viewpoints for understanding the variations in feeding strategy and dietary niche among geographically segregated populations of Megalobrama terminalis. Our results can be used to develop conservation strategies and improve the fisheries management of Black Amur bream or other endemic fish species. Abstract Fish dietary niche
