Reproductive success in Antarctic marine invertebrates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The nearshore Antarctic marine environment is unique, characterised by low but constant temperatures that contrast with an intense peak in productivity. As a result of this stenothermal environment, energy input has a profound ecological effect.

Habitat preferences of the mountain population of the endangered beetle Carabus variolosus ssp. variolosus indicate its vulnerability to climate change

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2023
The general habitat requirements of many common ground beetle species are known, but which specific environmental factors play a crucial role in their distribution remain uncertain.

Invertebrate biomechanics [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2017
Invertebrate biomechanics focuses on mechanical analyses of non-vertebrate animals, which at root is no different in aim and technique from vertebrate biomechanics, or for that matter the biomechanics of plants and fungi. But invertebrates are special - they are fabulously diverse in form, habitat, and ecology and manage this without the use of hard ...

Not a Silent Invasion: The Reaction of European Naturalists to the Spread of Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) in the 19th—Early 20th Century

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
The case of naturalization of the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas, 1771), in countries lying beyond its native Ponto–Caspian range is remarkable as one of the first instances when the scientific community as early as the mid-19th century was ...

Macroplastic accumulation across different surface covers, a case study of two South African rivers

open access: yesScientific Reports
Plastic pollution in freshwater ecosystems is an escalating global concern, yet riverine macroplastic pollution and dynamics remain poorly understood in Southern Africa. This study investigated macroplastic accumulation across different surface covers in

Bactrocera dorsalis in the Indian Ocean: A tale of two invasions

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2023
An increasing number of invasive fruit fly pests are colonizing new grounds. With this study, we aimed to uncover the invasion pathways of the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis into the islands of the Indian Ocean. By using genome‐wide SNP data and

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...
