Hydrological Connectivity and Local Environment Alternately Drive Spatial Structure of Floodplain Aquatic Community Across Seasons

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
Our study shows that the landscape‐scale environmental gradient represented as ecotone and as local environmental factors can alternately determine the spatial structures of the floodplain biota across seasons. The study highlights the understudied yet important linkages of spatial and temporal biotic assemblages and advance understanding of ecology ...

From subsidies to stressors: Positively skewed ecological gradients alter biological responses to nutrients in streams

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Subsidy–stress gradients offer a useful framework for understanding ecological responses to perturbation and may help inform ecological metrics in highly modified systems. Historic, region‐wide shifts from bottomland hardwood forest to row crop agriculture can cause positively skewed impact gradients in alluvial plain ecoregions, resulting in ...

The Role of Artificial Lakes Located in Forests in the Context of Small Retention, Biodiversity and Climatic Changes—Evidence From Southern Poland

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
The model of plant associations showed the occurrence of 24 species of plants within nine plant assemblages in the Phragmitetea and Potametea classes of associations. Despite human activities, lake condition, as assessed by the ESMI index or the biocenotic diversity indices, is good.

Unraveling Biogeographic Boundaries Within the Sierra Madre Oriental, México: An Endemicity Analysis Using a Taxonomically Diverse Dataset

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
We provide boundaries of the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico through a multi‐taxa endemicity analysis. ABSTRACT The Sierra Madre Oriental (SMO) is a significant mountain range and one of Mexico's 14 biogeographical provinces. Its delimitation has been debated.

Estimating Rapid Diversity Changes During Acute Herbicide Contamination Using Environmental DNA

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–February 2025.
This study evaluates the use of environmental DNA metabarcoding to examine rapid changes in aquatic invertebrate communities following exposure to glyphosate‐based herbicide (GBH) in mesocosms under contrasted nutrient levels. We show a shift in community composition induced by GBH, and different impacts on zooplankton and insect family richness.

Morphology of follicle cells of Libellulidae (Odonata)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Odonatology, 2011
In libellulids, mature oocyte size varies within and between individual ovaries. The regulating mechanism is not yet understood. Variations in the contents of the follicle cells, and thereby their ability to secrete material into the oocyte, might explain some of the observed differences in oocyte size.
