A quantitative analysis to detect mass mortality events (wrecks) in Procellariiformes

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our study provides the first systematic assessment of seabird mass mortality events in the South Atlantic and introduces a transferable statistical framework for detecting MMEs in other taxa and regions lacking baseline mortality information. By identifying recurrent temporal anomalies, high‐risk areas and vulnerable species, we could establish ...

From Lability to Conservatism: Evolutionary Patterns in the Traits of Stream Trichoptera

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The ability to predict biodiversity responses to ongoing environmental change depends on understanding the extent to which traits are conserved across evolutionary history. Examining the relationship between traits and phylogeny provides key insights into how evolutionary history constrains and structures the traits.

FreshLanDiv: A Global Database of Freshwater Biodiversity Across Different Land Uses

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Motivation Freshwater ecosystems have been heavily impacted by land‐use changes, but data syntheses on these impacts are still limited. Here, we compiled a global database encompassing 241 studies with species abundance data (from multiple biological groups and geographic locations) across sites with different land‐use categories.
