A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2529-2540, October 2025.Our results highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species‐based surveys. Abstract There is increasing demand for standardised, easy‐to‐use metrics to assess progress towards achieving biodiversity targets and the effectiveness of ecological compensation ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2020-2037, October 2025.ABSTRACT The global proliferation of dams has altered flow and sediment regimes in rivers, presenting a major threat to freshwater biodiversity. Diadromous species, such as fishes, decapod crustaceans and gastropods, are particularly susceptible to fragmentation because dams obstruct their breeding migrations between coastal waters and rivers. Although

Dispersal of land snails: How far can a snail drift?
BiologiaAbstract Passive transport is an important way of spreading to new localities for slow-moving animals such as snails. Such modes of transport, often mentioned in the literature, include zoochoria or various human means of transportation. Watercourses are neglected in this regard, although they have been previously discussed as river corridors ...

Effective dispersal of fern spore and the ecological relevance of zoochory
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2116-2130, October 2025.ABSTRACT The mechanisms of fern dispersal are under‐studied and there are few data to support the vectors assumed to drive patterns of sporophyte occurrence and speciation. Although wind is generally the fern spore dispersal vector described in the literature, there has always been competing evidence supporting alternate vectors.
