Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda)
Cladistics, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 159-171, April 2026.Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract The RAPID‐MOCHA‐WBTS array in the subtropical gyre of the North Atlantic has measured the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the overturning streamfunction in depth coordinates since 2004. Here we show that the overturning streamfunction in density coordinates can be estimated by combining data from the RAPID‐MOCHA‐WBTS ...

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.Riverine solute fluxes peak during the wet season, emphasising the role of tropical rainfall in driving nutrient delivery to the ocean. Seasonal peaks in nutrient fluxes highlight the need for longer‐term monitoring to detect potential interannual trends.
