Influence of River Valleys on Genetic Diversity and Species Distribution Patterns of Cyprididae (Crustacea: Ostracoda) on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionRiver valleys are recognized as significant ecological barriers that impact gene flow between species adapted to distinct habitat types. The Tibetan Plateau, with its diverse habitats intersected by numerous river valleys, serves as a focal point for ...

Pelvic spine reduction affects diet but not gill raker morphology in two polymorphic brook stickleback (Culaea inconstans) populations [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 The extent of parallelism might generally be lower in between‐species versus between‐population comparisons. In two populations of brook sticklebacks, we found that diet differences were associated with pelvic spine reduction, but we found no evidence of any difference in gill raker morphology associated with pelvic spine reduction. This is in contrast

On Caledromus robinsmithi, a new genus and species of Psychrodromini Martens, 2001 (Crustacea, Ostracoda, Herpetocypridinae) from New Caledonia (Pacific Ocean) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2023 The New Caledonian Archipelago is a hot spot for biodiversity and endemism. Whereas popular groups such as birds and plants are well-studied, invertebrate groups such as ostracods remain ill-known. Here, Caledromus robinsmithi gen. et sp. nov.

Diversity and composition of macroinvertebrate communities in a rare inland salt marsh [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 21, Page 14351-14365, November 2021., 2021 Inland salt marshes are rare habitats in the Great Lakes region of North America, formed on salt deposits from the Silurian period. We used morphological and COI metabarcoding data to assess changes in diversity and composition across both space (a transect from the salt seep to an adjacent freshwater area) and time (three sampling seasons).

A bothremydid turtle (Pleurodira) from the middle Cenomanian of Vale de Figueira (Belas, Portugal) [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 6, Page 1573-1579, June 2025.Abstract An unpublished turtle shell from the middle Cenomanian of Vale de Figueira, near Belas (Lisbon District, Portugal), is recognized by us as collected in 1880 under the direction of Carlos Ribeiro. No turtle remains from that region had so far been figured, described or discussed from a systematic point of view.

Effects of river regulation on aquatic invertebrate community composition: A comparative analysis in two southern African rivers [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.This study compared aquatic invertebrate communities between a regulated and unregulated river and sought to determine whether the largest inland lake of the region, which receives water from both rivers, resembles the aquatic invertebrate communities of either river.
