Prioritising non-native pest species to inform plant health biosecurity policy decisions and to safeguard agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, and livelihoods in Uganda

open access: yesFrontiers in Agronomy
In recent years, various invasive species have been introduced to sub-Saharan Africa, partly due to insufficient information about potential invasions, which has led countries to respond reactively rather than proactively.

Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional β‐diversity of stream algae is driven by the number of added nutrients and herbivory

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3390-3405, November 2025.
Higher numbers of added nutrients (NAN) in treatment (T) relative to control (C) algal communities (1) and grazing (2) elevated taxonomic/phylogenetic nestedness (βNes) and functional gradient (βGra) components of β‐diversity. Herbivory favoured grazer‐resistant inferior competitors (2).

Description of a New Telonemia Genus and Species With Novel Observations Providing Insights Into Its Hidden Diversity

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Telonemia is a fascinating and understudied group of microbial eukaryotes known to have a vast diversity that is still uncharacterized. In fact, although their phylogenetic position is still actively debated, their diversity and biology are largely unexplored: to date, there are only seven described species in three genera, although there are ...

Sparse genetic data limit biodiversity assessments in protected areas globally

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 23, Issue 8, October 2025.
Global conservation targets include protecting genetic diversity within species. Yet few studies have assessed whether protected areas (PAs) include genetically diverse populations across species globally. A first step is understanding the availability of population genetic data that could be used in these assessments.

Advancing aquatic biodiversity assessments of invertebrates using eDNA metabarcoding: A systematic evaluation of primers for marine and freshwater communities

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2408-2430, October 2025.
Abstract Invertebrate richness and community composition are key indicators of aquatic ecosystem health. Compared with morphotaxonomy‐based survey methods, DNA metabarcoding is a highly efficient and scalable biomonitoring approach that has become increasingly used in invertebrate surveys.
