Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Biological invasions have become a major component of global change, yet the processes governing secondary spread after initial introductions remain insufficiently resolved. A specific and central gap is the lack of a spatially explicit and temporally dynamic quantification of colonisation pressure, despite its presumed importance for ...

Survival and Behavior of Amphibians in a Seasonally Flooded Tropical Forest
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.How do tropical amphibians survive seasonal flooding? A three‐year capture–mark–recapture study in Costa Rica revealed species‐specific responses to flood events, with flooding reducing apparent survival in some species while others persisted through behavioral adaptations and use of arboreal refugia.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Biological invasions pose major threats to ecosystems, with aquatic habitats particularly vulnerable due to high connectivity and biodiversity. The Ponto‐Caspian region is widely recognised as a major source of highly invasive non‐native aquatic species, yet a global synthesis of their spatial, taxonomic and temporal invasion patterns has been

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 46-63, July 2026.Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

Update of the risk assessment on emerging and novel brominated flame retardants in food
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2012 risk assessment on Emerging and Novel brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in food. Since the previous Opinion, further information was collected for a total of 27 BFRs. The CONTAM Panel concluded that TDBPP, DBPNG and TBNPA are considered genotoxic and carcinogenic.

Water quality modeling for the Kennet and Avon Canal, a navigational canal in an inland catchment
, 2010 The Kennet and Avon Canal in southern England is experiencing severe water quality problems caused by inorganic sediment and algae. These water quality problems are affecting the angling sport of fishermen downstream of the confluence of the canal with the River Kennet.

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.
