Macroecological relationships of ant diversity with increasing aridity in Australian tropical savannas: contrasting responses of epigaeic and hypogaeic assemblages

Ecography, EarlyView.
Studies using climatic gradients play a key role in our understanding of the importance of rainfall and temperature as factors regulating species diversity and distribution, and thus of likely responses to climate change. However, such studies currently consider above‐ground species only, ignoring the diverse hypogaeic (subterranean) invertebrate fauna.

Testing a method for quantifying structural redundancy in ecological communities

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In ecological communities, some taxa contribute to ecosystem functioning in highly similar ways. When numerous taxa within a community contribute similarly, this might suggest a degree of functional redundancy, where the loss of one species may not impair ecosystem ...

Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

Unveiling the Global Linnean Shortfall in Leptophlebiidae (Ephemeroptera, Insecta): Historical Trends and Conservation Implications

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how many species exist on Earth is a fundamental yet challenging question in biology, with significant implications for biodiversity conservation. The Linnean shortfall, or the gap in taxonomic knowledge, remains a major obstacle, particularly in highly diverse groups like insects. This study focuses on the family Leptophlebiidae
