Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...

Three mitochondrial genomes of early-winged insects (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae and Leptophlebiidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) are a semi-aquatic insect order with comparatively few genomic data available despite their phylogenetic position at the root of the winged-insects and possession of ancestral traits. Here, we provide three mitochondrial genomes (

Feeding ecology of an Amazonian electric knifefish under altered flood‐pulse dynamics caused by hydroelectric damming

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluated the effects of the controlled flood pulse on diet composition, trophic niche breadth and feeding intensity of Archolaemus janeae, an electric knifefish species with a restricted distribution in the Amazon Basin. Monthly samples were collected from December 2020 to November 2021 in the Volta Grande stretch of the Xingu ...

First report of Epibiont ciliates (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) living on larvae of Leptophlebiidae (Ephemeroptera) from Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2017
Epibiosis was understood as a commensalism relation between two or more organisms. However, some studies have shown that epibionts can cause deleterious effects to their host.

Effects of restoration on macrophyte and macroinvertebrate ecological status and biodiversity in lowland streams in Denmark

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Habitat restoration is applied to promote ecological recovery in degraded freshwater systems. However, it remains unclear whether stream restoration measures enhance Water Framework Directive (WFD) ecological status and biodiversity.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Trophic Redundancy and the Hidden Dietary Overlap Between Native and Invasive Stream Fishes

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions introduce non‐native species into natural ecosystems, often reshaping localcommunities and altering trophic interactions. In freshwater environments, such invasions can intensify resource use and threaten native fish diversity.

The Feeding Ecology of Invasive Pink Salmon Juveniles in Northern Norwegian Rivers and Their Role as Prey to Native Salmonids

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Increasing numbers of invasive Pacific pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) are spawning in northern Norwegian rivers, leading to large numbers of juveniles migrating to coastal waters. This raises concerns about food competition with native salmonids in rivers, although details about the timing and intensity of pink salmon feeding and the ...
