Documenting biodiversity with digital data: comparing and contrasting the efficacy of specimen‐based and observation‐based approaches

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Digitized herbarium specimens and iNaturalist observations provide invaluable plant biodiversity data. Combining these two data sources could create a more holistic representation of local biodiversity; however, understanding biases inherent to each is critical to determine how to best combine and utilize these data.

Gall responses to drying habitats: Insights from the community of galling herbivores associated with the superhost Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. (Caryocaraceae)

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Drying processes in the Brazilian palm swamps or Veredas, impact the gall community in adjacent vegetation by reducing the abundance of more sensitive galls, while more resilient galls acclimate to increased dryness by developing thicker protective tissues. Abstract Galls are new plant organs formed in response to the stimuli of gall‐inducing organisms,

How are we choosing species for direct seeding restoration in megadiverse neotropical landscapes? Recommendations from projects implemented in Brazil

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Direct seeding for ecological restoration is a cost‐effective and scalable method, but its effectiveness largely relies on choosing the appropriate species. Understanding the criteria used to select species is critical for optimizing restoration outcomes, especially in the face of limited resources and ongoing environmental changes.

The Role of Gene Flow in the Diversification of the Monkey Treefrog Complex Across the South American Dry Diagonal

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

Limno‐STOICH: A comprehensive database linking the elemental stoichiometry of organisms with inland aquatic habitats

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract All organisms contain carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in widely ranging amounts and proportions. Integrating existing datasets enables quantification of this variation at global scales. Such efforts could leverage ecological stoichiometry theory, the study of elemental supply and imbalances in ecological interactions, to connect ecological ...

Habitat Influence on Epigeic Spider Diversity in Silaka, Langeni and Kambi Forests, Eastern Cape, South Africa

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we explore spider diversity and the effects of habitat types on spider distribution in the three different types of habitats in Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. This serves as an invaluable tool for biodiversity assessment while documenting the presence of spiders taxa across different habitats in the selected study areas.

Habitat Modification by Grazing Lawns Reduces Soil Mite Diversity in a South African National Park

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil mesofauna are an integral part of the functioning of an ecosystem. They are relatively small in body size, occur in varying habitats and operate in a range of ecological niches. Soil mites are quite sensitive to changes in their environment and contribute to several important ecosystem services in their environments.

Relating Freshwater Flow with Estuarine Water Quality in the Southern Everglades Mangrove Ecotone [PDF]

, 2014
Florida Bay is more saline than it was historically, and reduced freshwater flows may lead to more phosphorus inputs to the mangrove ecotone from the marine end-member. This is important given plans to restore freshwater flow into eastern Florida Bay. We
