Forest Loss Influences Biomass Distribution Across Trophic Groups of Amazonian Stream Insects
ABSTRACT Changes in resource availability caused by deforestation can negatively impact freshwater ecosystems, with implications for trophic chains. We investigated both the direct and indirect effects of forest cover and allochthonous resource availability on the biomass distribution of larvae of aquatic insects (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera

ABSTRACT Understanding gene flow between ploidy levels in polyploid complexes is essential for species delimitation and conservation. This study explores evolutionary dynamics in the polyploid complex Thymus sect. Mastichina (Lamiaceae), comprising three taxa: T. mastichina subsp. mastichina, T. mastichina subsp.

Encapsulating ecosystem engineers: alginate beads of biocrusts for restoration efforts
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are pioneer ecosystem engineers that modify the soil surface by aggregating particles, fixing carbon and nitrogen, and retaining moisture. These functions facilitate the establishment of both cryptogams and vascular plants, making biocrusts increasingly important in ecological restoration.
