Restoration tools and strategies for afforested Mediterranean coastal grasslands: is eucalypt removal alone enough to kickstart ecosystem recovery?

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation with non‐native trees has profoundly altered coastal dune grasslands worldwide, creating persistent ecological legacies that constrain ecosystem recovery. Objectives We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of two restoration approaches, distinguished by their respective demands for resource investment: Moderately ...

Periphyton and Benthic Macroinvertebrate Response to Antimycin Piscicide During Brook Trout Restoration

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The piscicide antimycin has been used as an effective fish toxicant to eradicate nuisance fishes because it is not as detectable by fish as other chemical piscicides. We evaluated the effects of antimycin and its detoxicant, potassium permanganate, on periphyton and benthic macroinvertebrates during a brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis ...

Continuous Temporal Contiguity Narration‐Animation for Learning in Virtual Reality

open access: yesJournal of Computer Assisted Learning, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Temporal contiguity between visual and verbal (narrated) information could strongly influence learning from multimedia animations, especially in the case of a rich visual context such as Virtual Reality. Compared to spatial contiguity, less research has been carried out on the impact of the time lag, for example, the de ...

The Life History of Folsomia Candida (Willem) (Collembola: Isotomidae) Relative to Temperature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The parthenogenetic mode of reproduction in Collembola, although frequently questioned in the past (Schaller, 1953; Mayer, 1957; Falkenhan, 1932), has only recently been recorded and confirmed for several species; Onychiutus parthenogeneticus Choudhuri ...

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.

A method for capturing images of Collembola bioluminescence using a smartphone camera

open access: yesSoil Organisms
Although bioluminescence in Collembola has been known since 1851, photographic evidence remains sparse. Photographs serve as essential evidence to confirm bioluminescence and facilitate further investigations into this phenomenon.

Soil Microarthropod Communities Along Salt Marsh Transects of the Wadden Sea Are Predominantly Structured by Niche Differentiation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We combined α‐ and β‐diversity to investigate the community assembly of soil microarthropods (Collembola, Oribatida, Mesostigmata) along a salt marsh transect from the upper salt marsh to the lower salt marsh to the pioneer zone on three islands in the Wadden Sea of Germany. The results suggest that soil microarthropod communities in the dynamic marine–

Total herbivore exclusion alters plant species dominance and trait expression in endangered grassy woodlands

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Herbivores are important drivers of plant community composition and dominance in grassy ecosystems, yet few studies have attempted to understand how different types of herbivores impact plant dominance and function. This study examined the biomass of dominant grass species and other plant functional groups after 3 years of nested herbivore ...

Collembola Community Structure as a Tool to Assess Land Use Effects on Soil Quality

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo
: Collembolan species are differently affected by soil tillage (conventional, minimum tillage, and no-tillage) and are known to modify plant growth. This study relies on the relationships between Collembola community structures and land use systems as a ...
