The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Panama Canal expansion and shifts in fishing practices: A social‐ecological network approach
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1520-1532, May 2026.Abstract Species introductions have spiked over the past two centuries due to globalization. These introductions impact ecosystems, but may also have long‐term implications for human communities. In one of the world's hubs for global shipping, the Panama Canal, a recent canal expansion has coincided with an increase in marine fishes entering the ...

Exploring ecohydrology through the lens of local fishers in the Bolivian Amazon
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The natural flow regimes of Andean‐Amazon tributaries play a vital role in sustaining their rich biodiversity and productive local fisheries, but ongoing and proposed alteration of river flow regimes by large dams threatens to negatively impact river ecosystems. Despite its importance, our understanding of how hydrologic variability influences

Unprotected Waters: When Protection Fails In Freshwater
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Invasive species are a major driver of biodiversity loss in protected areas (PAs), yet their impacts in aquatic environments are less well documented. This study investigated the occurrence and distribution of nonnative freshwater fish in federal PAs in Brazil.

Common lizards break Dollo’s law of irreversibility: genome-wide phylogenomics support a single origin of viviparity and re-evolution of oviparity [PDF]
, 2018 Dollo’s law of irreversibility states that once a complex trait has been lost in evolution, it cannot be regained. It is thought that complex epistatic interactions and developmental constraints impede the re-emergence of such a trait.

Spread of Amazonian Freshwater Fishes Beyond Their Native Ranges
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 56-67, January 2026.ABSTRACT The spread and establishment of Amazonian species outside their native ranges through activities such as sport fishing, aquaculture, and the ornamental fish industry may lead to ecological changes in recipient ecosystems. We investigated the global distribution of Amazonian freshwater fish (AFF) and conducted a case study in the upper Paraná ...
