Urban Grassland Plant Communities Assemble According to Productivity and Disturbance Gradients

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
The overall variation of urban grasslands is poorly understood. Using a vegetation dataset of 200 urban grasslands in the Helsinki capital region, Finland, we showed that productivity and disturbance were the main drivers of the plant communities. We conclude that long‐term extensive maintenance, reducing nutrients and facilitating dispersal can allow ...

Recognising Seaweeds: Addressing Gaps in International Biodiversity Frameworks for Global Seaweed Conservation

Sustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 6968-6984, October 2025.
ABSTRACT As anthropogenic pressures increasingly impact marine ecosystems and the biodiversity they support, governance mechanisms for international biodiversity conservation have emerged. Seaweed habitats are important repositories for marine biodiversity, and they provide crucial ecosystem services that support both ocean and human health.

Variation in Eusperm Length May Reflect Reproductive Barriers and Differences in Sperm Competition Intensity Among Littorina Snails

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Reproductive barriers, such as sperm morphology, play a key role in limiting gene flow and driving divergence in internally fertilizing species. We examined eusperm length variation in different Littorina species and ecotypes to assess its role in reproductive isolation and sperm competition.

Prorocentrum insidiosum sp. nov. (Prorocentrales, Dinophyceae): Morphological and Phylogenetic Characterization of a Mucosphere Producing Dinoflagellate From the “cordatum Group”

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Prorocentrum cf. balticum was the provisional designation assigned to strains of a small, pelagic, mixoplanktonic dinoflagellate found to produce carbon‐rich mucilage‐based prey capture devices, termed “mucospheres.” Here we characterize the morphology and phylogeny of the strains, describe them as Prorocentrum insidiosum sp. nov., and discuss

Reproduction in Heteroteuthis dispar (Rüppell, 1844) (Mollusca: Cephalopoda): a sepiolid reproductive adaptation to an oceanic lifestyle [PDF]

, 2008
Small cephalopods of the genus Heteroteuthis are the most pelagic members in the family Sepiolidae. This study examines the reproductive biology of Heteroteuthis dispar (Rüppell, 1844), the first such study on any member of the genus, based on 46 ...

Slow Invaders Going Fast: New Data of Exotic Slugs (Gastropoda: Eupulmonata) From Spain

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Morphological and genetical confirmation of the occurrence of two non‐native terrestrial slugs in the Iberian Peninsula (northern Spain): Ambigolimax parvipenis and Boettgerilla pallens. ABSTRACT Invasive species are a major concern in the current scenario of biodiversity loss. Most studies focus on vertebrates and insects, while other groups have been

Early successional changes in coniferous forest small mammal communities following a high‐severity summer wildfire

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Forest fires in the southern Rocky Mountains are changing due to climate warming and increased fuel loads. Landscape‐scale stand‐replacement fires create extensive treeless swaths without regenerative seed sources, leading to long‐term conversion of coniferous forest to montane meadows and chaparral.
