New species of Boeckella (Copepoda: Calanoida) [PDF]
Papers and proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, 1967 The new species, Boeckella bispinosa, is described and figured from Tasmanian material. The male fifth legs of B. opaqua Fairbridge, a Western Australian species, are figured and the original description supplemented. The female genital segment of B.

Shifts in Assembly Rules and Loss of Zooplankton Functional Diversity Across Hypereutrophic Fishponds. [PDF]
Ecol LettFunctional diversity of zooplankton declined sharply with increasing eutrophication in hypereutrophic fishponds, despite stable species richness. Community assembly shifted from competition to habitat filtering, leading to functional homogenization (redundancy) and altered interactions among functional guilds. Ponds with total phosphorus below 300 μg/L

Keystone communities can rescue aquatic metacommunities influenced by pesticide contamination. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Pesticide contamination in freshwater habitats is a major global issue, affecting water quality, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. Uncontaminated habitats embedded in agricultural landscapes might act as keystone communities, with the ability to restore diversity and ecological processes in contaminated sites through dispersal.

Temperature and Prey Availability Drive Seasonal Variations in Diet, Abundance and Condition of <i>Forsterygion lapillum</i> Across Two Coastal Habitats. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigated how temperature, turbidity and prey availability affect the diet, body condition and abundance of F. lapillum in two coastal ecosystems. Results showed seasonal and spatial variation, with body condition, abundance and gut volume positively correlated with warmer temperatures but not with turbidity.

Fatty Acids and Stomach Contents Reveal Dietary Overlaps of Two Prospering Squid Species in the North Sea. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDistribution ranges of cephalopods are expanding worldwide and their abundances are increasing due to ocean warming. Recently, the broadtail shortfin squid Illex coindetii (Ommastrephidae) expanded into the North Sea where it established a successful spawning stock beside the resident veined squid Loligo forbesii (Loliginidae). Stomach content analysis

Spatial habitat partitioning enables coexistence of three Gobiidae species in estuarine environments. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract This study examines resource partitioning (feeding morphology, diet and habitat partitioning) among three gobiid species, the Knysna sandgoby Psammogobius knysnaensis, the prison goby Caffrogobius gilchristi and the river goby Glossogobius callidus, within an estuarine environment.

Geographic Variation of Phyllodiaptomus tunguidus Mitogenomes: Genetic Differentiation and Phylogeny
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Phyllodiaptomus tunguidus (Copepoda: Calanoida) is largely endemic to and widespread in freshwater in southern China, where it inhabits a complex landscape from lowland to highland across an elevation gradient of 2000m. A deep genetic differentiation can
