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 ...

Diversity of Terrestrial Malacofauna, Favorable Habitats, and Relationships With Mollusk Size in Urban Environments of Sergipe, Northeastern Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
The invasive exotic snail Achatina fulica dominates the terrestrial mollusk community in the city of Aracaju, occurring in all sampled urban habitats and being the most abundant species among the individuals collected. In addition, it exhibited a larger shell size and greater total weight, particularly in back gardens. ABSTRACT Terrestrial mollusks can

Nocturnal Gardeners: Dispersal of Large Seeds by Tent‐Roosting Bats in the Lacandon Rainforest, Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Tent‐roosting bats in the Lacandon Forest, Mexico, play a previously undocumented role in dispersing large seeds (> 5 mm) from mature forest species with important ecological and human uses. Sampling 21 feeding tents across two protected areas yielded 2137 seeds from 54 species, with seed deposition rates significantly higher under bat tents than in ...

Patch and Landscape Predictors of Mammal Diversity and Their Trait‐Relationships in the Largest Atlantic Forest Island in Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Urbanization and habitat fragmentation reshape mammal communities on Santa Catarina Island, one of the largest Atlantic Forest islands in Brazil. Using camera traps across protected forest patches, we show that species richness declines with urban and unvegetated matrices, while abundance increases in smaller and more isolated fragments dominated by ...

Social media highlights the overlooked impact of cats on arthropods

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 460-465, March 2026.
The impact of domestic cats on vertebrate biodiversity is unequivocal; however, we still know little about their effects on arthropods. By analysing over 17,000 photos and videos from social media platforms (iStock and TikTok), we documented 550 predation events of cats on arthropods.
