Plant-derived environmental DNA reveals fine-scaled community differentiation in grassland arthropods. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract The loss of plant diversity in grasslands is implicated as one of the main causes of arthropod decline. The loss of a single plant species can have a cascading effect on specialized arthropod species. It is thus critical to expand our understanding of plant–arthropod interactions.

The Lampropidae (Crustacea: Cumacea) of the World.
Zootaxa, 2018 Prior to the present study, the cumacean family Lampropidae included 114 species. This family is primarily found in temperate to cold waters. Revisions and investigation of museum collections yielded 12 new genera (Alamprops n. gen., Aplatysympus n. gen.,

Temperature and Prey Availability Drive Seasonal Variations in Diet, Abundance and Condition of Forsterygion lapillum Across Two Coastal Habitats [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigated how temperature, turbidity and prey availability affect the diet, body condition and abundance of F. lapillum in two coastal ecosystems. Results showed seasonal and spatial variation, with body condition, abundance and gut volume positively correlated with warmer temperatures but not with turbidity.

Exceptional endemicity of Aotearoa New Zealand biota shows how taxa dispersal traits, but not phylogeny, correlate with global species richness. [PDF]
J R Soc N ZABSTRACT Species’ with more limited dispersal and consequently less gene flow are more likely to form new spatially segregated species and thus contribute disproportionally to endemic biota and global species richness. Aotearoa New Zealand has exceptional endemicity, with 52% of its 54,000 named species endemic, including 32%, 39% and 68% for ...

Bathyal cumacean assemblages from the southern margin of the Cap Ferret Canyon (SE Bay of Biscay)
Scientia Marina, 2020 The structure of the cumacean assemblages from the southern margin of the Cap Ferret Canyon was studied at 13 stations ranging from 346 to 1099 m depth with a modified Macer-GIROQ suprabenthic sledge (four superimposed nets; 0.5 mm mesh size). A total of

Deep-sea meiofaunal communities in the south-eastern Levantine basin and their shaping factors - Morphological-taxonomy-free metabarcoding approach. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe hitherto poorly investigated meiofaunal communities of the south‐eastern part of the Levantine basin were characterized and their relationships with sedimentary and bottom terrain parameters were interpreted. The construction of community composition profiles took an approach that combined metabarcoding with sample reads normalization by abundance.

The Cumacea community of the southeastern Brazilian Continental Shelf: structure and dynamics
Scientia Marina, 1999 Specific composition, abundance, diversity and dynamics of the Cumacea community from the southeastern Brazilian continental shelf were studied. The area is characterized by the intrusion of a cold and highly saline water mass in summer, the South ...
