Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

The Historical and Overlooked Collapse of Medicinal Leeches in Spain
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Leeches in genus Hirudo have been used in medicine since ancient times, but increased exploitation during the 19th century led to the depletion of several populations in Europe. A compilation of Hirudo records in Spain (H. troctina Johnson, 1816 and H. verbana Carena, 1820) show that the genus was more commonly mentioned and widely distributed

Artificial Shelters as a Monitoring and Conservation Tool for Terrestrial Breeding Frogs
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Artificial concrete and wooden shelters were tested as low‐impact tools for monitoring a cryptic terrestrial‐breeding frog, Austrochaperina robusta, in the Australian Wet Tropics. Frogs overwhelmingly preferred concrete shelters, which provided stronger thermal buffering, supported higher occupancy across seasons, and were the only shelters used for ...
