The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Oases of endemism: Regional aquifer desert springs serve as biodiversity hotspots preserving vulnerable endemic taxa in the Great Basin and Mojave Desert regions

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Spring ecosystems in arid regions often serve as crucial biodiversity hotspots by providing some of the only reliable sources of surface water. However, anthropogenic activities and climate change have severely degraded spring ecosystems worldwide, emphasizing the need for large‐scale multidisciplinary studies informing conservation efforts ...

Pronoun Resolution in Turkish: The Interplay of Referential Form, Word Order, and Implicit Causality

Cognitive Science, Volume 50, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Pronouns are a ubiquitous part of discourse, but unusual in that their meaning is almost entirely determined by context. While early theorists hoped to explain pronouns based on a small number of simple principles, the last half‐century of research has revealed a cornucopia of influences at the syntactic, semantic, discourse, and pragmatic ...

Bullfrog growth parameters in continuous water-flow tanks systems on a commercial scale

Intropica
The growth parameters of hatchery-reared bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) reared at commercial continuous water-flow tanks systems were studied and discussed. We stock 3.000 juvenile with a density of 60 frogs/m2 (mean weight 16 ± 1.82 g) into three 16.

Synaptic up-scaling preserves motor circuit output after chronic, natural inactivity

eLife, 2017
Neural systems use homeostatic plasticity to maintain normal brain functions and to prevent abnormal activity. Surprisingly, homeostatic mechanisms that regulate circuit output have mainly been demonstrated during artificial and/or pathological ...

Implementing real‐time acoustic monitoring for conservation: A case study using edge computing and satellite transmission

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
We evaluated a prototype acoustic monitoring device that performs onboard species classification and transmits detection summaries via satellite, enabling near real‐time data access from remote field sites. Deployed alongside conventional autonomous recording units at eight Northern Spotted Owl territories, the system demonstrated successful ...

Urbanisation Restructures but Does Not Reduce Freshwater Pond Biodiversity

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Urbanisation is a dominant driver of landscape change leading to widespread displacement, degradation and fragmentation of habitat for native species and numerous studies have documented loss of biodiversity in response. However, most studies focus on a small range of taxa (e.g., vertebrates, plants), leaving many other groups poorly ...

Physiological Responses of Juvenile Bullfrogs (Aquarana catesbeiana) to Salinity Stress

Animals
Bullfrogs (Aquarana catesbeiana) are increasingly farmed for their high nutritional value and adaptability to intensive aquaculture systems. However, salinity stress due to environmental changes and habitat salinization poses a significant challenge for ...

Environmental DNA Reveals Major Shifts in Fish and Amphibian Diversity and Distribution in Alpine Lentic Ecosystems of Southwest China, Supporting Improved Conservation and Management

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Alpine lentic ecosystems are naturally fish‐poor or fish‐free, yet they have received numerous non‐native fish introductions globally. Studies have demonstrated that alien fish have negative impacts on aquatic organisms, particularly amphibians, which are highly susceptible to habitat alterations.
