On the Significance of Neuronal Giantism in Gastropods

The Biological Bulletin, 1991
Neurons of the central ganglia of opisthobranch and pulmonate gastropods increase in size as the animals grow, some becoming veritable giants. The origins and functions of neuronal giantism are considered here from a comparative viewpoint. A review of the properties of identified neurons in a variety of opisthobranch and pulmonate species indicates ...

Genetic Reference Gaps Limit eDNA Metabarcoding and Biodiversity Monitoring of Tropical Mangrove Ecosystems

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
This review reveals major genetic data gaps for Philippine mangrove fauna, especially invertebrates, limiting species‐level eDNA detection. By compiling 48 years of biodiversity records and assessing reference library coverage, it highlights the need for targeted sequencing and shows how integrating eDNA with conventional surveys strengthens monitoring

The end stage of barrier estuary infill: Insights from Jack Smith Lake, Southeastern Australia

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
Infill model for the saline coastal lake estuary, Jack Smith Lake. Abstract Jack Smith Lake in southeastern Australia is an infilled saline coastal lake, disconnected from the ocean by a foredune barrier. This study explores the Holocene infill history of this estuary in order to understand the end‐stage evolution of barrier estuarine systems with ...

Heritability of geographic range sizes revisited : a reply to Hunt et al. [PDF]

, 2005
Hunt et al.(2005) revisit the issue of range size heritability following our recent article on this topic (Webb and Gaston 2003). In that article, we showed that the range sizes of closely related species tend to be highly dissimilar and argued that this

Comparing non‐staining methods with Mutvei's solution to visualize growth increments in short‐lived intertidal marine gastropod shells

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Mutvei's solution is a widely utilized standard staining method for revealing growth increments in biogenic carbonates; however, it is a slightly toxic, destructive approach with varying success across species groups. Therefore, there has been growing interest in finding non‐toxic, less destructive, and straightforward alternative techniques ...

Spatial-temporal distribution and recruitment of Stramonita haemastoma (Linnaeus, 1758) (Mollusca) on a sandstone bank in Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
We examined aspects of the population ecology of the gastropod Stramonita haemastoma at Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil. We collected monthly from October 2007 through September 2008 on a sandstone bank 1.5 km long, on which two points and two sampling levels were

Anisotropic community turn‐over at habitat edges informs on assembly drivers: simulation and empirical test on soil macrofauna

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Biodiversity dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes is the result of a complex interplay between movement processes of organisms within and between habitat patches, and niche filtering processes due to spatially varying environmental conditions. Disentangling the relative influences of these different processes on community assembly and dynamics is a ...

Cultivating biophilia: Domestic gardens foster positive emotions towards wildlife, with gardening influence shaped by species' ecological functions

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1218-1232, May 2026.
Abstract Understanding how different types of nature interactions influence emotional responses to animal species is especially important in the context of the biodiversity crisis, as these emotions can shape conservation‐related attitudes and behaviours. Gardening is recognised as one such interaction, although its influence likely depends on the type
