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 ...

Trichoptera of northeastern Algeria: New species, noteworthy records, and a review of the genus Hydropsyche (Hydropsychidae) [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis BudapestinensisFreshwater biodiversity in the Maghreb region remains largely unexplored, providing significant opportunities for further discovery. Algerian caddisflies have received relatively little attention. The present study aims to fill gaps in caddisfly taxonomy

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Restoring predator populations can generate cascading effects on their prey by reshaping ecosystem food webs, yet its consequences for prey community organization and multi‐trophic dynamics remain poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate how native predator recovery shapes prey biodiversity, assembly processes, and trophic dependencies, and

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT The geographic genetic structure and distribution within species are shaped by factors such as dynamic tectonic activity and topographic changes associated with climate change. We used the largely flightless, freshwater‐dependent beetle Zaitzeviaria ovata (Elmidae) as a model to investigate how ancient topography and dynamic geological history

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Headwaters often contribute disproportionately to network‐scale benthic biodiversity as differences in community composition between separate headwater streams (β‐diversity) can be high although local (α) diversity may be low. Most research on stream β‐diversity has adopted a spatial perspective, whereas temporal β‐diversity remains largely ...

THE ORIGIN AND DISPERSAL OF A GROUP OF PRIMITIVE CADDISFLIES [PDF]
Evolution, 1951 In many groups of insects there are two circumstances which invite investigation as to the origin and dispersal of the members of various phyletic lines. First, there are genera existing today which are of great geologic age, dating back at least to Cretaceous times.

Ecology and EvolutionThe subtropical rainforests of eastern Australia are expected to be greatly affected by climate change, with several studies predicting an upward shift in elevational distribution for many groups of fauna and flora.
