eDNA Metabarcoding Reveals the Depth-Structured Variation of Coral Reef Fish

open access: yesFishes
Global coral reef ecosystems face various levels of disturbance pressure. Understanding the depth-structured variation in coral reef fish communities can help us to better grasp and predict the adaptive changes of the ecosystem under different stressors.

Ciguatera: the detection of neurotoxins in carnivorous reef fish from the coast of Cameroon, West Africa

open access: yes, 2008
This work examined 64 large, carnivorous reef fish from the coastal waters of Cameroon for toxicity commonly associated with an incidence of ciguatera fish poisoning.

Neglected seed dispersers and research compartmentalisation: how much do we know about what we don't know?

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Geographic distribution of seed dispersal studies by disperser guild. Summary Seed dispersal is critical for long‐term ecosystem resilience. However, excessive compartmentalisation of research into particular disperser guilds (e.g. birds) hampers our understanding of their relative contributions to overall seed dispersal, risking erroneous conclusions ...

Surface complexity and gastropod exclusion drive colonization of an intertidal eco‐engineered structure

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Habitat complexity and grazing by invertebrate molluscs shaped community structure and ecosystem functioning on eco‐engineered substrates through distinct mechanisms. Increasing structural complexity increased invertebrate species richness with limited effects on macroalgae and carbon flux, while grazer exclusion had strong effects on macroalgal ...

Using Metabarcoding Techniques to Map Multiple Dung Beetle‐Vertebrate iDNA Networks in a Southeast Asian Forest

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Given the high levels of endemism, diversity, and increasing anthropogenic impacts in tropical regions, studies on species interactions and ecological networks are urgently needed to understand community responses to environmental change. Increasingly, molecular methods are used to monitor biodiversity and identify species interactions.

Data from: Complex inter-kingdom interactions: carnivorous plants affect growth of an aquatic vertebrate

open access: yes, 2017
1. Coexistence of organisms in nature is more likely when phenotypic similarities of individuals are reduced. Despite the lack of similarity, distantly related taxa still compete intensely for shared resources. No larger difference between organisms that

Worldwide Invasions of Centrarchidae: The Dark Side of the Sunfish Family

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 781-812, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater fish invasions are major drivers of global ecological change, disrupting native biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, many invasive fish hold significant socioeconomic value, resulting in conflict over their management. Centrarchidae, which are globally distributed and are important for sportfishing and aquaculture, are now

Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 521-544, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Lophotrochozoa is one of the three major bilaterian groups comprising more than half of the bilaterian phyla. Lophotrochozoa includes among others Mollusca, Annelida, Platyhelminthes and Rotifera. Despite representing such a large proportion of animal diversity, they are historically understudied and genomic resources have been scarce. However,

Effects of Small Hydropower Dam Removal on Food Web Structures in the Heishui River

open access: yesFishes
Following Yangtze River protection policies, many small dams have been removed. Using the Heishui River as an example, we compared food web structures among areas affected by dams (DAs), areas from which dams were removed (DRAs), and natural reference ...
