Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.The Pan‐Himalayan region harbors exceptional biodiversity, yet the origins and underlying mechanisms driving this remarkable diversity remain poorly understood, especially among species‐rich invertebrates. Pimoa spiders exhibit an intercontinental disjunct distribution across three major mountain regions: the Rockies, the Alps, and the Pan‐Himalaya ...

CHIMNEY BUILDING IN THE FIDDLER CRAB UCA ARCUATA [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2000 Abstract The fiddler crab Uca arcuata (De Haan, 1835), which lives on intertidal mud flats, occasionally builds a cylindrical mud chimney that encircles its burrow entrance. Chimneys were more often found with burrows of females than with those of males (22% versus 10%).

Hedgehog Pillows and Squirrel Plates: Priming Semantic Structure in Children's Comprehension
Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 3, Page 992-1026, September 2026.Abstract We report three expression–picture‐matching experiments targeting preschoolers’ semantic processing. We assessed whether 3‐ and 4‐year‐olds’ interpretations of ambiguous novel noun–noun combinations (e.g., hedgehog pillow) were affected by immediate language experience and what role lexical items played in this process.

A preference for a sexual signal keeps females safe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Predation is generally thought to constrain sexual selection by female choice and limit the evolution of conspicuous sexual signals. Under high predation risk, females usually become less choosy, because they reduce their exposure to their predators by ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.Using 18S rDNA metabarcoding of stomach contents from two Antarctic nototheniid fishes, we detected 242 parasite OTUs. Protists dominated diversity, metazoans dominated abundance, and depth structured assemblages. Novel parasite–host associations and previously unreported pathogenic protists highlight fish metabarcoding as a tool for biodiversity and ...

Widespread crab burrows enhance greenhouse gas emissions from coastal blue carbon ecosystems
Communications Earth & EnvironmentFiddler crabs, as coastal ecosystem engineers, play a crucial role in enhancing biodiversity and accelerating the flow of material and energy. Here we show how widespread crab burrows modify the carbon sequestration capacity of different habitats across ...
