Microbial Evolution in Allodapine Bees: Perspectives From Trophallactic, Socially Plastic Pollinators

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT This review seeks a deeper functional understanding of wild bee microbiomes by focusing on a tribe of bees where natural history and behavioral ecology are well known but investigations of microbiology are just beginning. Opportunities to improve our future knowledge of pathogens to insect pollinators are explored—which have broad ...

Spatial patterns and seasonal fluctuations of the intertidal Caprellidae (Crustacea: Amphipoda) from Tarifa Island, Southern Spain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Tarifa Island is located in the Strait of Gibraltar, between the Mediterranean and Atlantic. The unique biogeographical position, together with the substrate heterogeneity and the protection degree resulting from its condition of mari - ne reserve, has

Submersed Aquatic Vegetation Enhances Density and Diversity of Epifaunal Invertebrates Compared to Filamentous Mats in the Central Baltic Sea

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
This study evaluates the relative importance of Submersed Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) and filamentous mats in shaping epifaunal invertebrate communities in the central Baltic Sea. Our results showed that diversity, vertical structure, and biomass of SAV were all positively associated with higher total epifaunal abundance and greater abundance of ...

THE ECOLOGY OF MUTUALISM [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Elementary ecology texts tell us that organisms interact in three fundamen­ tal ways, generally given the names competition, predation, and mutualism. The third member has gotten short shrift (264), and even its name is not generally agreed on.

Non‐Native Species in Aquaculture: Burgeoning Production and Environmental Sustainability Risks

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Rising global food demands and technological advancements have led to unprecedented growth in the aquaculture industry. This rapid expansion has facilitated the translocation of species beyond their native ranges. While farming non‐native species boosts global food supply, it also poses environmental and socio‐economic risks when escapees ...

Tree‐line system: A sea bottom cultivation technology to improve the biomass production of edible seaweed Chondracanthus chamissoi (Gigartinales, Rhodophyta)

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Chondracanthus chamissoi is a red seaweed of socioeconomic importance due to its use for direct human consumption; therefore, its cultivation is key to optimizing the production of this species and avoiding the exploitation of natural beds. In this study, a new background bottom culture technology, that is, the tree‐line system, was evaluated.

Physcomitrium LATERAL SUPPRESSOR genes promote formative cell divisions to produce germ cell lineages in both male and female gametangia

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 2004-2015, March 2025.
Summary The evolution of green plants from aquatic to terrestrial environments is thought to have been facilitated by the acquisition of gametangia, specialized multicellular organs housing gametes. Antheridia and archegonia, responsible for producing and protecting sperm and egg cells, undergo formative cell divisions to produce a cell to ...

Positive species interactions structure rhodolith bed communities at a global scale

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 1, Page 428-444, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Rhodolith beds are diverse and globally distributed habitats. Nonetheless, the role of rhodoliths in structuring the associated species community through a hierarchy of positive interactions is yet to be recognised. In this review, we provide evidence that rhodoliths can function as foundation species of multi‐level facilitation cascades and ...

Sediment Core DNA‐Metabarcoding and Chitinous Remain Identification: Integrating Complementary Methods to Characterise Chironomidae Biodiversity in Lake Sediment Archives

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Chironomidae, so‐called non‐biting midges, are considered key bioindicators of aquatic ecosystem variability. Data derived from morphologically identifying their chitinous remains in sediments document chironomid larvae assemblages, which are studied to reconstruct ecosystem changes over time.
