Brazil's Invisible Invaders: Are Craspedacusta Jellyfish a Ticking Ecological Bomb?

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The invasive freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely of Asian origin, is globally distributed, yet its invasion history in South America remains poorly understood. Following a mass mortality event of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) during a jellyfish bloom in Paraná, Brazil, in March 2022, we conducted morphological and molecular ...

Revisiting the taxonomy and nomenclature of Phyla, a small genus of Verbenaceae

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Phyla is unique within Verbenaceae due to the presence of malpighiaceous hairs. Its taxonomy has long been marked by difficulties in defining species boundaries. The most recent revision of the genus recognized five species and three varieties. In this study, however, we recognize only two species and no varieties: P.

Evolving Strain Partitioning Driven by Multiple Plate Interaction—Paleotectonic Reconstruction of Northwestern South America During the Cenozoic

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract In Northwestern South America (NWSA) geodetic observations point to a consistent northeastward displacement of blocks, while the geological record shows a predominant shortening in NW‐SE direction. Such clear evidence of strain partitioning has been extensively studied in the context of two convergent plates, but not in complex tectonic area ...
