Lizards in Dunes and Swales: Habitat Structure and Assemblage Patterns
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Habitat structure mediates thermoregulation, foraging opportunities, and access to refugia, shaping how animals use space and encounter risk. Dune–swale mosaics provide sharp structural contrasts over short distances, offering a natural test of structure–assemblage links and spacing relative to shelter.

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Soil fungi regulate terrestrial ecosystem function and productivity. Native digging mammals influence soil physiochemistry, thus likely affect soil fungal communities; yet despite their re‐establishment in many parts of arid Australia, the influence of digging mammals on soil fungi in reintroduction areas remains largely unknown.

, 2020 The burrower bug, Cyrtomenus mirabilis (Perty, 1836) (Hemiptera: Cydnidae) is the main soil pest in peanuts. Its main damage is related to the attack on pods during the development phase of the kernels. Nymphs and adults insert the stylet of their oral apparatus, reaching the developing grains.

Feral Buffalo Effects on Critical Subsurface Refugia for Chelodina rugosa in Northern Australia
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles worldwide face escalating threats resulting from habitat alteration, and the absence of detailed assessments for many taxa underscores the need for greater attention. In northern Australia, feral ungulates are a major driver of wetland degradation, with emerging evidence that buffalo activity threatens freshwater turtle ...

Acta Zoologica, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 470-479, October 2026.ABSTRACT Weapons are morphological structures used by animals in various contexts, especially in intra‐specific contests and visual displays. In snapping shrimps of the genus Alpheus, particularly the monogamous species Alpheus brasileiro, both sexes bear enlarged chelipeds, potentially conferring advantages in mate competition or territorial defence ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 912-925, October 2026.Bombus terrestris and Apis mellifera colonies sharing the same landscape (<50 m from each other) collected pollen with significantly different heavy metal concentrations. B. terrestris‐collected pollen contained 2–7× higher concentrations of arsenic, chromium, cobalt, lead and tin than A. mellifera‐collected pollen.

Time‐stressed Bar‐tailed Godwits exploit novel prey during migratory fuelling
Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1681-1695, October 2026.Long‐distance migratory birds breeding in the Arctic face challenges as earlier snowmelt shifts the timing of vital resources. To keep up with these advancements, birds will need to modify their migration. Higher fuelling rates during stopover have been identified as a critical mechanism for accelerating migration, but this requires adequate food ...
