Evidence of Pervasive Legacy of Land Use Change on Dung Beetles in Central European Grazed Grasslands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study modeled the effects of livestock farming and land use change on dung beetle species richness and abundance in Austria and the Czech Republic. Using historic land cover data from the 19th century, we found evidence for extinction debt, showing that past landscapes better explained current dung beetle populations than recent land use.

Non indigenous ascidians in port and natural environments in a tropical Brazilian bay

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2010
Despite limited natural dispersal, some species of ascidians can be transported vast distances via oceanic petroleum platforms, ship hulls and ballast water and therefore may be good indicators of bioinvasion.

Isolation and characterization of 16 polymorphic microsatellite loci for the Asian green mussel Perna viridis (Mollusca, Mytilidae) [PDF]

, 2017
The Asian green mussel Perna viridis is an abundant and important ecological and economical species across its native range. However, outside its native range, this species has been considered invasive and concerns have been raised worldwide regarding ...

New Insights Into the Biogeography of Six Garra Species (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) in the Persian Gulf Basin

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We present data and inferences supporting the case for post‐LGM secondary contact between eastern and western G. rufa populations that became isolated by post‐Pleistocene sea level rise of the Persian Gulf. We suggest river capture as a probable mechanism explaining secondary dispersal of Garra rufa populations from eastern to western river drainages ...

Spatio-temporal Variations in Bacterial Abundance with an Emphasis on Fecal Indicator Bacteria and Vibrio spp. in and around Visakhapatnam Port, East Coast of India

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development, 2020
The ecological health of port environments, which are dynamic and hotspots of anthropogenic activities, can be analyzed using specific pathogenic bacteria as they provide definite evidence and source of pollution.

Crossing Frontiers in Tackling Pathways of Biological Invasions [PDF]

, 2015
Substantial progress has been made in understanding how pathways underlie and mediate biological invasions. However, key features of their role in invasions remain poorly understood, available knowledge is widely scattered, and major frontiers in ...

A globally consistent scaling relationship reveals stabilizing effects of dominant species in plant communities

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Despite extensive research, stabilizing mechanisms in ecosystems remain uncertain. Taylor's power law (TPL) is a pervasive ecological pattern that describes how variance scales with mean abundance (σ2 = aμᵇ). While TPL has been widely studied within populations, its role across species within communities and its implications for stability remain ...

Hawaiian Marine Bioinvasions: A Preliminary Assessment [PDF]

Pacific Science, 2002
Origin Historically the numbers of introductions have peaked at several different times: during the 1920s, probably through the effort of Charles Howard Edmondson, then recently arrived invertebrate zoologist at the University of Hawai'i and Bishop Museum; during the 1940s, probably through wartime activities and development; during the 1970s, through ...

Harnessing iEcology data to uncover invasive species behaviour

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1022-1031, April 2026.
Abstract Invasive animal species threaten ecosystems, biodiversity and human livelihoods. Behavioural traits such as boldness, exploratory tendencies, learning ability and social interactions are known to influence invasion success. Yet these behavioural traits remain underexplored due to challenges in observing behaviour across large spatial and ...
