Large Regional Variation in Global Impacts of Agriculture on Terrestrial Insects and Other Arthropods

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
We show that impacts of agriculture on arthropod biodiversity are notably less negative in Europe than in other regions, which we find is driven by a degraded baseline, a selection bias of reference sites, and novel species compositions in agriculture that favour widespread habitat generalists and non‐native species.

Riding the Storm: Microeukaryote Community Responses to Hurricane Disturbance

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Sandy beaches are dynamic ecosystems where terrestrial and marine organisms coexist, resulting in diverse communities where microeukaryotes (protists, microalgae, and meiofauna) are key drivers. Understanding their diversity patterns and responses to stressors is essential for elucidating ecological processes, yet information on this subject ...

Ghost in the Prairie: Using Community Science and MaxEnt to Model the Habitat of a Rare Mesopredator

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Swift foxes (Vulpes velox) have experienced severe range declines in Texas, making identification of suitable habitat critical for conservation and potential reintroduction efforts. We used maximum entropy modeling with community science data from iNaturalist and remotely sensed environmental variables to predict the potential distribution of swift ...

Stable isotopes reveal that gelatinous zooplankton diets group by taxonomy and feeding traits in a coastal upwelling system

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Gelatinous zooplankton are abundant in marine ecosystems, yet their trophic roles and functional diversity in food webs have only recently gained attention. Gelatinous zooplankton taxa including hydromedusae, ctenophores, siphonophores, chaetognaths, and pelagic tunicates span multiple phyla and are often grouped taxonomically, but trait‐based

Along the Benthic to Holoplanktonic Continuum: Seafloor Affinity Increases Distance‐Decay Rates Among Abyssal Communities

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Marine species ranges are often large, contributing to relatively high community similarity over space, with decreased ranges expected among taxa that have lower dispersal and/or higher substrate requirements. We tested for a weakening of biogeographic structuring among dispersing abyssal taxa along the benthic to holoplanktonic habitat ...

Graveyards of Giant Pandas at the Bottom of the Sea? A Strange-Looking New Species of Colonial Ascidians in the Genus Clavelina (Tunicata: Ascidiacea)

Species Diversity
An unidentified colonial ascidian called gaikotsu-panda-hoya in Japanese, literally meaning ‘skeleton panda ascidian,’ has been attracting SCUBA divers’ attention for the past few years since its strange appearance was introduced on the Internet by a ...

The genome sequence of the greater two-lined sac-winged bat Saccopteryx bilineata, Temminck, 1838 (Emballonuridae, Emballonurinae) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Saccopteryx bilineata (Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Emballonuridae). The genome sequence is 2.62Gb in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X
