Elevated Temperatures Disrupt Wolbachia‐Induced Feminisation and Reshape Microbial Community Dynamics Across Generations in a Spider Host

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Longitudinal microbial interactions within a host are challenging to study, leading to a focus on constructed microbial communities in vitro settings. Here, we take advantage of a naturally defined microbial community within a spider host to study how elevated temperatures influence microbial dynamics and phenotypes across host generations ...

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

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
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 ...

Biodiversity and ecosystem function in soil [PDF]

, 2005
1. Soils are one of the last great frontiers for biodiversity research and are home to an extraordinary range of microbial and animal groups. Biological activities in soils drive many of the key ecosystem processes that govern the global system ...

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

Aquaculture, 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 ...

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

Soil 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.

The Life Cycle Relative to Temperature of Protaphorura Armatus (Tullberg) (Collembola: Onychiuridae), a Parathenogenetic Species [PDF]

, 2017
Apparent parthenogenetic reproduction in Collembola has sometimes been attributed to accidental transfer of spermatophores with the food material from one culture to another (Schaller, 1953; Mayer, 1957).

Standardized Protocols for Soil Fauna Extraction and a Call for Cross‐Lab Implementation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We present harmonized methodologies, assembled by an international group of experts, for extracting soil‐ and litter‐inhabiting nematodes, enchytraeids, microarthropods, and larger invertebrates. The protocols are illustrated with images and videos, and include advice for overcoming the most frequent issues (’expert tips’) for increasing extraction ...

Herbivory increases diversification across insect clades. [PDF]

, 2015
Insects contain more than half of all living species, but the causes of their remarkable diversity remain poorly understood. Many authors have suggested that herbivory has accelerated diversification in many insect clades. However, others have questioned

Artificial Pond Habitats Placed in an Australian Berry Farm Support Invertebrate Diversity Including Pollinating Flies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study investigated whether small, artificial ponds deployed within a commercial farm can function as microhabitats supporting diverse invertebrate communities. We recorded 40 invertebrate taxa from nine orders utilising the ponds, including honey bees, lady beetles and spiders, as well as three species of eristaline hoverflies.

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

Revista 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 ...
