A new species of spider of the genus Sadala Simon, 1880 (Araneae, Sparassidae) from the Yasuni Biosphere Reserve, Amazonian lowlands of Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
The first species of spider of the genus Sadala is described from Ecuador. The new species was discovered at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station, a research station in the Yasuni Biosphere Reserve, Amazonian lowlands of Ecuador. Abstract We describe a new species of giant crab spider of the genus Sadala Simon, 1880 collected in Lowland Evergreen ...

Postrelease Mortality of Angled Tarpon in Puerto Rico

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Tarpon Megalops atlanticus is a popular and economically important inshore sport fish in Puerto Rico, and the pursuit of this species by local anglers and tourists contributes to the economy. This species is managed as a no‐take fishery, which aims to preserve populations by catching and releasing fish that would otherwise be subjected to ...

Uncommon southwest swells trigger sea urchin disease outbreaks in Eastern Atlantic archipelagos

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 15, Page 7963-7970, August 2020., 2020
Two unusual southwest rough sea periods, with winter storms Xynthia (February 2010) and Emma (February 2018), preceded the sea urchin mass mortality events. This situation suggests that SW storms may promote the outbreak of paramoebiasis episodes in Eastern Atlantic archipelagos, supporting the “killer‐storm” hypothesis.

Temperature modulates compensatory responses to food limitation at metamorphosis in a marine invertebrate

Functional Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 8, Page 1564-1576, August 2020., 2020
A free Plain Language Summary can be found within the Supporting Information of this article. Abstract Under climate change, increased temperatures combined with food limitation may be critical for species with complex life cycles, if high growth rates characterize the larval development.

Climatic Cycles and Gradients of the El Niño Core Region in North Peru

Advances in Meteorology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Climatic processes in northern Peru are evaluated on surface observation independent of modelling studies. The region is characterized by regular oscillations, but episodic El Niño‐events introduce strong disturbances. Conceptual models based on observations, remote sensing data, and output of regional climate models are compared with data from a new ...

Global invasion and biosecurity risk from the online trade in ornamental crayfish

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, October 2024.
Abstract Trade in undomesticated ornamental animals has rapidly expanded beyond brick‐and‐mortar retail stores to now include growing numbers of internet marketplaces. The growing volume, diversity, and origins of invasive non‐native species in trade challenge already weak national biosecurity policies.

Selection of planning unit size in dynamic management strategies to reduce human–wildlife conflict

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract Conservation planning traditionally relies upon static reserves; however, there is increasing emphasis on dynamic management (DM) strategies that are flexible in space and time. Due to its novelty, DM lacks best practices to guide design and implementation.

Effects of color variation and physiological state on ascidian microbiomes

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2024.
Microbial symbiont communities are reliable indicators of the taxonomic state of their host and are strongly tied to their host's physiological condition. Abstract Ascidians, known for their color variation, host species‐specific microbial symbiont communities. Some ascidians can also transition into a nonfiltering (resting) physiological state. Recent

Notes on the ecology and distribution of a water flea complex (Anomopoda, Daphniidae) revealed by new DNA barcodes in the Iberian Peninsula

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 98-112, January 2024.
Abstract Available DNA barcodes of freshwater zooplankton are scarce in regions like the Iberian Peninsula, which harbours many rare and endemic species and is considered a hotspot of crustacean biodiversity. Recently, a new species of Ceriodaphnia (Cladocera: Daphniidae) was described using morphological analysis of specimens in the Mediterranean ...
