Species traits modulate ecological release in island red devil spiders (Araneae: Dysderidae)
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.We studied the species ability to undergo an ecological release process in the red devil spiders (Araneae: Dysderidae) when colonising species‐depauperate environments, focusing on different aspects of their niche. We have found that the ability to expand their niche is highly dependent on the species trophic strategy, with specialist species being ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Wild bee functional groups consist of species that are grouped together based on their similarity in multiple nesting and foraging traits. These functional groups have their own specific association with suitable habitats and urban or agricultural landscapes.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Greece hosts 1310 species of spiders, 226 of which are endemic. Out of the 202 assessed species in IUCN standards, 64.5% are assessed as threatened. Integrating 187 articles and other forms of literature, we present 18,000 unique occurrences across continental and island Greece. Spider conservation in Greece should focus on obtaining distributional and

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract This study aimed to identify geographical distribution patterns of the giant short‐tailed river stingray Potamotrygon brachyura and the motoro stingray Potamotrygon motoro in the Uruguay River basin. Data on presence/absence of stingrays were based on fishers' knowledge accessed by interviews through expeditions in Brazil, Argentina and ...

The Dual Protection of a Micro Land Snail against a Micro Predatory Snail
PLoS ONE, 2013 Defense against a single predatory attack strategy may best be achieved not by a single trait but by a combination of different traits. We tested this hypothesis experimentally by examining the unique shell traits (the protruded aperture and the denticles within the aperture) of the micro land snail Bensonella plicidens.

Genome Architecture and Speciation in Plants and Animals
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There have been numerous treatments of specific topics in speciation, but surprisingly few papers have compared patterns and processes of speciation across different organismal groups. In this review, we partially address this gap by asking how variation in genome architecture impacts speciation across the plant and animal kingdoms.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 The enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose by cellulases is one of the major limiting steps in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to yield bioethanol. To overcome this hindrance, significant efforts are underway to identify novel cellulases.
