Earthworm research in Austria: current status, knowledge gaps and future directions

Die Bodenkultur
Earthworms are crucial for terrestrial ecosystems, affecting soil physical and chemical properties, and ecological interactions. They serve as indicators of environmental change, soil biodiversity and soil health.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Geranium sylvaticum*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Geranium sylvaticum is a perennial forb of upland grasslands, woodlands and riverbanks in northern Britain, with scattered native occurrences also in Wales, central England and Northern Ireland. It has an extensive native range in Europe and Asia. The species is gynodioecious, with individual plants typically female or hermaphrodite.

Forest patches as stepping stones: evidence from invertebrate taxonomic and functional diversity in experimentally created water‐filled tree holes

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs), such as water‐filled tree holes (WTHs), are important structures for forest biodiversity, providing habitats for many specialized species, which are however impaired by the intensive forest management of the past. Strategies to maintain and promote TreMs in managed forests, e.g.

Experimental droughts in mesocosms reveal a gradient of tolerance in Alpine stream macroinvertebrates

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S352-S363, December 2025.
Abstract Prolonged droughts, driven by climate change and human pressures on water resources, are increasing in frequency and intensity, particularly impacting Alpine rivers. Benthic macroinvertebrates are one of the most important structural and functional components of Alpine lotic ecosystems.

The Use of Ecoacoustics to Monitor Soil Ecology: A Critical Review With Reference to Earthworms

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
ABSTRACT The use of ecoacoustics to monitor soil ecology was identified as a priority in the 2024 horizon scan of global biological conservation issues. Proponents suggest it will have societal impacts by improving soil health assessments, enhance soil biodiversity monitoring and facilitate the conservation, remediation and management of soil ...

A new approach to investigate arthropod biodiversity in forest ecosystems, using meta‐barcoding on trap combinations

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
For biodiversity monitoring of arthropods with a limited additional fieldwork, our trap combination reduced the taxonomic bias in the local samples compared to other studies relying only on Malaise traps. This represented the orders of the local fauna better.
