Multiple Threats Have Overlapping Impacts Across Ecological Levels in Freshwater Ecosystems

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Changes driven by climate change, biological invasion, land‐use change, pollution and overexploitation are decreasing the resilience of freshwater ecosystems worldwide. While the impact of these threats is widely recognised, a critical gap remains in systematically quantifying their relative effects across ecological levels, which is essential

Tropical Montane Cloud Forests Have High Resilience to Five Years of Severe Soil Drought

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
A 5‐year throughfall exclusion experiment in a Peruvian tropical montane cloud forest reduced soil moisture by 69%, leading to lower photosynthetic inputs and autotrophic respiration but maintaining net primary productivity and carbon sink capacity. Trees responded through metabolic downregulation, reduced fruit production, increased wood density, and ...

Bromeliad-inhabiting mosquitoes in an urban botanical garden of dengue endemic Rio de Janeiro - Are bromeliads productive habitats for the invasive vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus?

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009
Immatures of both Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus have been found in water-holding bromeliad axils in Brazil. Removal of these plants or their treatment with insecticides in public and private gardens have been undertaken during dengue outbreaks in ...

Morphological traits and environmental preferences of the Blunt‐headed tree snake Imantodes cenchoa: the effects of sex and ontogeny

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 328, Issue 1, Page 41-51, January 2026.
Understanding how animals interact with their environment across life stages is key for conservation. In our long‐term study of the Blunt‐headed tree snake (Imantodes cenchoa) in the tropical rainforest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, we tracked over 240 individuals and found age‐related differences in environmental preferences.

Assessing the role of canopy cover on the colonization of phytotelmata by aquatic invertebrates: an experiment with the tank-bromeliad Aechmea lingulata

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2016
The presence of canopy cover may influence the amount of organic detritus and stored water in bromeliad tanks and, consequently, the colonization of these ecosystems by aquatic invertebrates.

The importance of tree species and size for the epiphytic bromeliad Fascicularia bicolor in a South-American temperate rainforest (Chile)

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2020
Bromeliads are a numerous family of vascular epiphytes, though only one epiphytic species inhabits South-American temperate rainforests: the endemic Fascicularia bicolor. This bromeliad is an important driver of canopy biodiversity, but attributes of its
