Canal Construction Disrupts Camouflage in Two Sympatric Estuarine Crab Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Estuarine ecosystems provide essential habitats for fiddler crabs, whose survival heavily relies on background‐matching camouflage. Anthropogenic modifications such as canal construction can alter the visual properties of these habitats, yet direct empirical evidence of their impact on crustacean camouflage remains limited.

Turnover‐Dominated β‐Diversity and Its Temperature and Trophic Drivers of Scarabaeoidea Assemblages Along an Elevational Gradient in a Tropical Island Rainforest in China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
An important issue with diversity patterns along elevational gradients in mountain ecosystems is that far few studies have incorporated abundance and top‐down effects‐which may covary with environmental gradients‐when inferring the mechanisms structuring insect communities. Here, we tested the effects of potential drivers (temperature, humidity, litter

Anuran call properties as reliable indicators of environmental suitability for reproduction

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 5, June 2026.
The onset of animal breeding activity is often accompanied by auditory signals, typically produced by males, that indicate reproductive status to potential mates and competitors. Here, using male anuran advertisement calls as a case study, we present the novel hypothesis that characteristics of ectotherm auditory signals that are modulated by ...

Hydrological seasonality shapes microbial biomass and diversity in an equatorial estuarine mangrove

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Mangroves are pantropical marine forests rooted in soft sediments and subject to pronounced seasonal variability. However, the effects of these hydrological fluctuations on root‐associated prokaryotic communities remain poorly understood, particularly in underexplored regions like the Guianas.

Functional Metagenomics Insights Into the Allium ampeloprasum Rhizosphere Microbiome Under Different Fertilization Regimes

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was used to characterize the functional potential of the Allium ampeloprasum rhizosphere microbiome under chemical fertilizer (G1), biofertilizer (G2), and unfertilized (Bulk) soil (G3) management practices. This study revealed that different fertilization regimes altered microbial functional profiles.
