Amphibian loss alters periphyton structure and invertebrate growth in montane streams. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2022 This paper demonstrates that amphibian loss increases periphyton biomass, causes shifts in algal assemblages and reduces invertebrate growth. It highlights the importance of protecting amphibians in order to maintain normal stream ecosystem functioning, especially in nonforested streams where periphyton in the main energy resource.

Prioritizing conservation in sub-Saharan African lakes based on freshwater biodiversity and algal bloom metrics. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract As agricultural land use and climate change continue to pose increasing threats to biodiversity in sub‐Saharan Africa, efforts are being made to identify areas where trade‐offs between future agricultural development and terrestrial biodiversity conservation are expected to be greatest. However, little research so far has focused on freshwater

Seasonal and intracanopy shifts in the fates of absorbed photons in central Amazonian forests: implications for leaf fluorescence and photosynthesis. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Recent studies have shown a linear relationship between solar‐induced Chl fluorescence (SIF) and gross primary productivity (GPP) at large scales. However, this relationship diverges at finer leaf scales, particularly in tropical forests with complex canopy structures.

Environmental and human factors shape the trophic ecology of a widespread marine predator. [PDF]
J Anim EcolOur study reveals how environmental factors and fishing pressure influence swordfish diet, highlighting trophic shifts under future climate scenarios. We provide a novel framework to strengthen our ability to plan for and manage the redistribution of species under global change ensuring that the energetic needs of predators are met.
