Exploring Costa Rica's fungal trends: Insights from digitized specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fungi are essential to tropical ecosystems but remain largely absent from conservation agendas. By analyzing over 78,000 fungal records from Costa Rica—a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot—this study reveals key patterns in fungal diversity, distribution, and seasonality.

Impact of parameterization in multiple acoustic index comparisons: practical cases in terrestrial and underwater soundscapes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Parameter choices in acoustic analyses (sampling frequency, FFT size and window overlap) strongly influence multivariate soundscape separation. Using terrestrial and coral reef recordings, we show that these settings can exaggerate or mask ecological differences, emphasizing the need for parameter sensitivity testing and transparent reporting in ...

Cercariae (Digenea: Strigeidae, Diplostomidae) in Biomphalaria straminea (Planorbidae) from a rice field in Northeastern Argentina [PDF]

, 2017
The rice fields can provide habitats for many species of aquatic invertebrates, as insects, molluscs, crustaceans; and vertebrates, as fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds, which may act as hosts in the life cycles of digenean parasites. In this context,

Long‐term warming drives mineral‐associated organic carbon accumulation on the Tibetan Plateau

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global warming affects both plant growth and soil microbial decomposition, creating uncertainty for the storage and persistence of soil organic carbon (SOC) stock. Limited decomposition rates often characterise cold alpine ecosystems.

Characterization of the vegetation of the El Retiro Natural Reserve, Santiago de Cuba, Cuba

Revista Cubana de Ciencias Forestales, 2021
The studies of flora and vegetation that have been carried out in El Retiro Natural Reserve have been limited to some of its sectors, so there is still no information about the structure of its vegetation formations and the relationship between them ...

Eco‐evolutionary dynamics of partially migratory metapopulations in spatially and seasonally varying environments

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Partial seasonal migration is rarely considered in a metapopulation context. Here, Haaland et al. use an eco‐evolutionary model revealing how partially migratory metapopulations may arise and be maintained, and how seasonal migrants may cause effects of local extreme climatic events to percolate through metapopulations across diverging temporal and ...

Living Low and Dry: Costs of and Resilience to Soil Hydric Stress in a Fossorial Amphisbaenian Reptile

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil drought imposes moderate, temporary costs on a strictly fossorial amphisbaenian reptile. However, these animals seem to cope with, at least, moderately short droughts thanks to their peculiar adaptations to living in an underground environment. ABSTRACT The physiological traits of animals can be strongly influenced by climatic fluctuations, and ...

BIEN: A biodiversity informatics ecosystem advancing open and reproducible workflows for plant observation, plot and trait data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...
