The effects of seasonality and parasitism on diet and habitat selection in the common periwinkle
Oikos, EarlyView.The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is an ecologically important grazer, known for its strong influence on algal communities and its role in structuring ecosystems. It serves as the first intermediate host for several trematode species in the Baltic Sea, especially for the fluke Cryptocotyle lingua.

Identifying knowledge gaps about context dependency in freshwater species invasions
Oikos, EarlyView.The abiotic template of freshwater ecosystems is being altered by human activity on a global scale, often promoting the establishment of new invasive taxa and increasing the likelihood of facilitation between invaders. These positive interactions represent a substantive threat to freshwater ecosystems by promoting the establishment and persistence of ...

Lithology and palynology of cave floor sediment cores from Wakulla Spring, Wakulla County, Florida [PDF]
, 1991 Five short bottom sediment cores taken in Wakulla Spring Wakulla County, Florida, were described lithologically and sampled for palynological study. Four of the cores were recoveredfrom sediments at the spring cave entrance (130 feet water depth).

Oikos, EarlyView.Understanding the ecological implications of species coexistence is central to biodiversity studies and to identify environmental and anthropogenic drivers of ecosystem dynamics, where ecological network analysis offers valuable insights. This study examines the complexity, structure, and potential responses to disturbances of the Strait of Magellan's ...

Oikos, EarlyView.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 ...

Mitochondrial Genomes of Three Melampus Species (Ellobiidae; Gastropoda)
Ecology and EvolutionMelampus bidentatus was recently divided into three genetically divergent cryptic species: Melampus bidentatus, Melampus jaumei, and Melampus gundlachi. We have assembled and annotated a mitochondrial genome for each of these species.
