Ecography, EarlyView.Invasive freshwater bivalves harm native species, ecosystems and biodiversity, and incur economic costs. The enemy release hypothesis posits that invasive species are released from enemies during the invasion process, giving them a competitive advantage in the new environment.

Impacts of large herbivores on mycorrhizal fungal communities across the Arctic
Ecography, EarlyView.Mycorrhizal fungi play an integral role in nutrient and carbon cycling in soils, which may be especially important in the Arctic, one of the world's most soil carbon‐rich regions. Large mammalian herbivores can influence these fungi through their impacts on vegetation and soil conditions, however the strength and prevalence of these interactions in the

From shadows to data: first robust population assessment of snow leopards in Pakistan
Ecography, EarlyView.The snow leopard Panthera uncia is a flagship species of the greater Himalayan region and symbolizes the integrity of this ecological system. Within the greater Himalayas, Pakistan holds special significance as the north of the country represents a confluence of three major mountain ranges (Hindu Kush, Pamir–Karakoram, and Himalaya).

An isothermal workflow for low‐cost and PCR‐free field‐based community metabarcoding
Methods in Ecology and EvolutionDNA metabarcoding has revolutionized our ability to monitor ecosystems. However, the method is still rarely used in developing countries where resources are limited and fieldwork is challenging.

Flexible methods for species distribution modeling with small samples
Ecography, EarlyView.Species distribution models (SDMs) predict where species live or could potentially live and are a key resource for ecological research and conservation decision‐making. However, current SDM methods often perform poorly for rare or inadequately sampled species, which include most species on earth, as well as most of those of the greatest conservation ...

How much species' biodiversity could area targets protect globally?
Ecography, EarlyView.Protection targets for addressing biodiversity loss include protecting at least 30% of the land and ocean in ecologically representative areas, but do not specify how many or what proportion of species should be protected from extinction. Here, a systematic analysis of 77 880 marine, freshwater and terrestrial species indicates that all species could ...

Spring Water pH in Forest Catchments Is Modified through Fluctuating Discharge under Climate Change
HydrobiologyOver the course of industrialization in the 20th century, vast emissions of air pollutants have occurred. The exhaust gasses contain sulfur and nitrogen oxides, which are converted to sulfuric acid and nitric acid in the atmosphere. This causes acid rain

The future of clay model studies
BMC Zoology, 2018 Background Many intriguing questions about predator-prey interactions can be addressed by using clay models of prey animals. These are placed in the field to test predators’ avoidances or preferences (testing e.g. color or shape) or to gain insights into
