Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 521-544, July 2026.ABSTRACT Lophotrochozoa is one of the three major bilaterian groups comprising more than half of the bilaterian phyla. Lophotrochozoa includes among others Mollusca, Annelida, Platyhelminthes and Rotifera. Despite representing such a large proportion of animal diversity, they are historically understudied and genomic resources have been scarce. However,

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 997-1010, June 2026.ABSTRACT Ditches are essential elements of the agricultural landscape because of their role as habitat or refuge for aquatic species, especially in homogenized and intensively cultivated areas. However, data on the biodiversity associated with agricultural ditches, and its variation over time, are underrepresented in ecological research.

Urbanisation Restructures but Does Not Reduce Freshwater Pond Biodiversity
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Urbanisation is a dominant driver of landscape change leading to widespread displacement, degradation and fragmentation of habitat for native species and numerous studies have documented loss of biodiversity in response. However, most studies focus on a small range of taxa (e.g., vertebrates, plants), leaving many other groups poorly ...

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 612-629, June 2026.ABSTRACT Shore‐based observers are increasingly being used in place of at‐sea observers to monitor and sample commercial fisheries catch. However, few evaluations assess whether these programs meet their stated goals or how to optimize them, and industry data are rarely tested for accuracy despite serving as the foundation for catch accounting. Using a

Plant balls from a Pomeranian lake, their invertebrate and microplastic components
Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies, 2023 Two balls with similar diameters (approximately 11–12cm) were found on the bottom of Lake Białe (Kashubian Lake District) at depths of 4m and 7m. The structures were made of tightly-packed plant remains represented mainly by decaying leaves of Larix sp ...
