Long‐term monitoring reveals biomass loss and concurrent dominance changes in coastal zooplankton community

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Anthropogenically induced changes in environmental conditions have been affecting species communities globally, leading to shifts in ecosystem functioning. Physical drivers like temperature, salinity and acidification are especially important in coastal ecosystems, and high‐resolution time‐series are essential to identify how these variables affect ...

Exploring Cladocera Assemblage and Responses to Land Use Patterns

Diversity
Cladocera communities in surface sediments from 31 lakes in Hungary were analysed to assess the impacts of land use on the aquatic systems. We evaluated the alpha and beta diversity metrics, with land use classification types based on the Corine Land ...

Hidden Waters, Unique Communities: Subterranean Zooplankton Beta Diversity in the Caatinga Drylands

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Subterranean waters are important but understudied biodiversity reservoirs, particularly in the semi‐arid Caatinga biome. We quantified the biological uniqueness of zooplankton communities in these groundwater‐dependent systems and investigated how environmental conditions shape beta diversity.

Clashing in Murky Waters: On Amphibian Mosquito Suppression

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study compares the predator efficiency of common European amphibian species to common invertebrate mosquito predators. Focusing on the cosmopolitan mosquito Culex pipiens, known for transmitting pathogens like West Nile virus, we assessed predator rates, sex‐specific efficiency in amphibians, and the impact of predator presence on mosquito ...

Effects of climate on size structure and functioning of aquatic food webs [PDF]

, 2010
In aquatic food webs, the role of body size is notoriously strong. It is also well known that temperature has an effect on body size. For instance, Bergmann’s rule states that body size increases from warm to cold climates.

Improved COI taxonomic assignment workflow enhances detection of invertebrates in environmental DNA

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an increasingly popular and powerful tool in ecology, offering a non‐invasive method to assess biodiversity and monitor ecosystem health across diverse environments. While the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is one of the most widely used markers for studying eukaryotic ...

Aquatic Biodiversity of the Pampa Biome: Insights From a Scientometric and Systematic Perspective

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pampa biome, in South America, covers parts of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Its main characteristic is the predominance of grassland areas. The Pampa biome supports high biological diversity and a wide variety of ecosystems. In this study, we provide a comprehensive overview of biodiversity studies focusing on freshwater ecosystems of ...
