Plant functional traits affect invertebrate predator diversity via bottom‐up effects in a deadwood‐based food web

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 128-139, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bottom‐up effects play a critical role in shaping community structure and trophic interactions within detritus‐based food webs. Coarse deadwood supports high biodiversity and contributes to detrital food webs during its decomposition process.

Molecular insights of Circadian Rhythm in Chilopoda [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry
The control of the sleep-wake cycle as well as several physiological and behavioral processes in living things depends on circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are regulated by internal biological clocks that coordinate with environmental stimuli like ...

A common terminology for the external anatomy of centipedes (Chilopoda)

ZooKeys, 2010
A common terminology for the external morphological characters of centipedes (Chilopoda) is proposed. Terms are selected from the alternatives used in the English literature, preferring those most frequently used or those that have been introduced ...

Heat but Not Cold Tolerance Is Phylogenetically Constrained in Greenlandic Terrestrial Arthropods Under Future Global Warming

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
In this study we describe the temperature limits for almost 8% of the Greenlandic arthropod fauna (insects and spiders). By combining this with a DNA analysis and a projection of future climates inhabited by these species we reveal that upwards of 25% of the investigated species risk exposure to stressful temperatures by the end of the century and that

Exploring the phylogeny of the Leptanillinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) through high‐throughput sequencing and Bayesian total‐evidence inference, with accommodation of systematic bias

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The phylogeny of the Leptanillinae is inferred under maximum‐likelihood, Bayesian and coalescent‐based approaches from a total of 25 UCE alignments curated to compensate for an array of systematic biases. All major clades within the Leptanillinae receive robust statistical support across the bulk of the 80 phylogenomic analyses, with exceptions ...

Micro Gondwana: soil and litter mesofauna in the subalpine and alpine of North‐West Nelson, southern New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 944-966, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Alpine ecosystems are vulnerable to the warming climate, yet alpine soil mesofauna remains the less studied part of NZ biodiversity. Here we present a survey of soil mesofauna communities of three mountain peaks in the Nelson‐Tasman and Marlborough regions of the South Island of New Zealand.

Far From Roads, Challenges Arise: Unravelling Knowledge Gaps in the Occurrence of Cave‐Restricted Species on the African Continent

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding patterns of biodiversity distribution is fundamental for ecology, biogeography, and conservation. However, persistent challenges arise from the inaccessibility of many regions and habitats. Subterranean environments, in particular, host highly distinctive and specialised faunal assemblages, yet their investigation is hindered by ...
