Dry season refuges, refugia and flow‐regime change in Mediterranean climate streams
Freshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 11, Page 1607-1626, November 2024.Abstract Climate change is causing stream flow regimes to change in many regions globally, including southwestern Australia (SWA) where many perennial streams have switched to intermittent flow regimes. In drier landscapes, ecological refuges and evolutionary refugia will become critical for conserving freshwater biodiversity.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.Staminodes of Parnassia wightiana acting as false nectaries attract both pollinators and florivorous beetles, and subsequently influence plant reproductive success. ABSTRACT While floral signaling plays a central role in the reproductive success of all animal‐pollinated plants, it may also attract herbivores eager to feed on flowers.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 758-787, September 2024.Monitoring invertebrates in cereal fields in southern England over 50 years (1970–2019) showed an overall decline in abundance. For taxa at the order/family level, 47% declined in abundance, 16% increased and 37% showed no change. Most functional groups declined, expect for pollinators—whose abundance did not change overall.

The macroinvertebrate seedbank promotes community persistence in temporary rivers across climate zones [PDF]
, 2013 1. Aquatic macroinvertebrates inhabiting temporary rivers are typically described as having low resistance to riverbed drying. However, little research has examined the ‘seedbank’ within dry riverbed sediments, which comprises aquatic life stages that ...

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 105, Issue 2, Page 539-556, August 2024.Abstract Selection of nursery habitats by marine fish, such as European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), is poorly understood. Identifying and protecting the full range of juvenile nursery habitats is vital to supporting resilient fish populations and economically important fisheries.
