Effects of Biodiversity Loss on Freshwater Ecosystem Functions Increase With the Number of Stressors

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
The paper reports results of a meta‐analysis addressing the effect of multiple stressors on the relationship between biodiversity and four measures of ecosystem function in freshwater ecosystems. We found that the positive relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functions becomes stronger as the number of stressors increases, indicating that ...

Two new species of Diplococcium from the tropics [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Two new species of Diplococcium are described and illustrated. Diplococcium aquaticum sp. nov., from submerged wood in Australia, is distinct in the genus in having slender conidiophores and pyriform, uniseptate, bicolored conidia.

Belowground Communities in Lowlands Are Less Stable to Heat Extremes Across Seasons

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 10, October 2025.
We experimentally exposed soil communities collected at different elevations and seasons to extreme heat events –based on site‐specific climatic history‐ and measured the stability (resistance and recovery) of Collembola and fungi, representing key trophic groups in belowground food chains.

A Global Synthesis on Land‐Cover Changes in Watersheds Shaping Freshwater Detrital Food Webs

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
This study investigates the cascading effects of land‐cover changes on freshwater food webs and biodiversity by synthesizing data from 144 published studies. We found that human‐driven changes in watershed vegetation consistently reduce the diversity, abundance, and biomass of freshwater organisms across trophic levels.

Genetic diversity in Tetrachaetum elegans, a mitosporic aquatic fungus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Tetrachaetum elegans Ingold is a saprobic aquatic hyphomycete for which no sexual stage has yet been described. It occurs most commonly during the initial decay of tree leaves in temperate freshwater habitats and typically sporulates under water ...

Diurnal Release of Airborne Pathogen Spores in Greenhouses via the Synergistic Effects of Relative Humidity and Wind

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 25, July 3, 2025.
Day‐night cycles trigger sharp relative humidity (RH) shifts in greenhouses. Rapid humidity drops dehydrate Corynespora cassiicola spores, inducing shrinkage, jerking movements, and weakened inter‐spore connections that drive detachment. Wind is essential for dispersal, with even mild airflow enabling rapid pathogen spread. These synergistic effects of

Effect of acidification on leaf litter decomposition in benthic and hyporheic zones of woodland streams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Anthropogenic acidification has deleterious effects on both structure and functioning of surface water ecosystems. This study examined how it may affect the leaf decomposition rate and the community structure and activity of decomposers in both benthic ...

First Description of Atypical Aspergillus floccosus as Cause of Canine Systemic Aspergillosis With Discospondylitis

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.
A case of disseminated aspergillosis in dog was described due to an atypical strain of Aspergillus floccosus. Aspergillosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of dogs with neurological signs and nonspecific changes in CBC or CMP, particularly in German Shepherd dogs.
