Beyond species diversity: Functional responses of cave arthropods to microclimatic stability and structural complexity

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 715-728, August 2026.
Species richness declined along cave microclimatic gradient, while diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, highlighting distinct roles of abiotic conditions and structural complexity in shaping arthropod communities. Functional traits shifted along the microclimatic gradient, with larger‐bodied and more eye‐regressed arthropods dominating under

She Doesn't Whisper: Female‐Prominent Stridulation Shaped by Morphology in a Buthid Scorpion and Insights on Its Function

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 8, Page 533-543, August 2026.
Sexual dimorphism and stress‐induced stridulatory responses in Jaguajir rochae (Borelli, 1910). Females exhibited greater absolute pectinal size and higher sound pressure levels, whereas males showed higher pectinal allometric ratios relative to body size, lower sound frequencies, and shorter delta times.

Landscape and Hydro‐Climatic Drivers of Fish Communities in Floodplain Wetlands

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Floodplain wetlands are characterised by dynamic hydrological regimes and seasonal patterns of wetting and drying. They support distinct communities of fish, many of which are adapted to dynamic and variable conditions. Seasonal hydrological variation and the degree of water permanence influence physicochemical conditions and local habitat ...

Growth and histomorphological responses of Chindongo socolofi to the long‐term replacement of fish meal with defatted Tenebrio molitor meal

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The long‐term suitability of defatted Tenebrio molitor larvae meal (TM) as a substitute for fish meal (FM) protein was evaluated in Chindongo socolofi over a 170‐day feeding period. Six isonitrogenous (38% crude protein) and isoenergetic (4396 kcal kg−1) diets were formulated, in which TM protein replaced FM protein at 0% (control), 20%, 40 ...

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

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 967-974, August 2026.
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 ...

Assessing Zooplankton Communities' Influence on Particulate Organic Carbon Concentration

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Zooplankton play a key role in setting the particulate organic carbon (POC) distribution in the ocean, but this role remains poorly quantified on large scales due to the complexity of zooplankton ecosystems and the sparsity and variability of observations.
