Litter Decomposition and Diversity of Soil Macrofauna on Industrial Plantation Forest of Nyawai

Jurnal Ilmu Kehutanan, 2017
The use of fast-growing tree species is necessary to meet the demand of timber. However, the information with regard the fertility of the soil for planting of these species is still limited.

Assessing the Potential Conservation Role of Other Effective Area‐Based Conservation Measures in Relation to Seaweed Farming

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Other effective area‐based conservation measures (OECMs) offer opportunities to advance the Convention on Biological Diversity's ‘30 by 30’ conservation targets, while recognising greater stakeholder diversity, including industry, Indigenous peoples and local communities.

Experimenting with ecosystem interaction networks in search of threshold potentials in real-world marine ecosystems [PDF]

, 2014
Thresholds profoundly affect our understanding and management of ecosystem dynamics, but we have yet to develop practical techniques to assess the risk that thresholds will be crossed.

Evidence of Cheliped Autotomy and Regeneration in the Lower Miocene Crab Achelous monspeliensis From Portugal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Crab autotomy with evidence of regeneration is described for the first time in the fossil record. Autotomy is a defensive behavior that affects more males than females of Achelous monspeliensis and may be related to mating season. ABSTRACT Autotomy—the voluntary shedding of a limb as a defensive response to predation, intraspecific aggression, or ...

Long-term impact of no-till conservation agriculture on abundance and order diversity of soil macrofauna in continuous maize monocropping system

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2018
Unsuitable soil management in agriculture is known to results in the deterioration of soil health and the decline of biodiversity. The experiment tested whether no-tillage with mulch (NT), could boost biological activity of soil macrofauna population in ...

Three New Mitochondrial Genomes of Neritidae (Gastropoda, Neritimorpha) From China and Insights Into Their Phylogenetic Position

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study reports the newly assembled complete mitochondrial genomes for three neritid snails from China: Smaragdia rangiana, Neripteron pileolus, and Vittina cumingiana. Our phylogenetic analyses not only resolved their evolutionary positions within the established two‐subfamily framework but also identified several mislabeled public sequences ...

Variation in Meiofaunal Abundance and Composition Across an Estuarine Bay: Do They Comprise a Coherent and Distinct Entity Displaying Contrasting Patterns to the Macrofauna?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Is division of marine animals into macrofauna and meiofauna merely an arbitrary convenience, or, as has been claimed, does their size difference render them distinct and independent entities evolved under different ecological constraints? Those in the Knysna estuarine bay did not behave as distinct and discrete ecological entities, their individual ...

THE EFFECTS OF THE QUESUNGUAL AGROFORESTRY SYSTEM OF WESTERN HONDURAS ON SOIL MACROFAUNA [PDF]

Sociedade & Natureza, 2005
Agricultural practices that promote increased diversity and abundance of soil macrofauna may improve soil quality and productivity, due to the influence of soil macrofauna on organic matter breakdown, nutrient cycling and soil structure. Southern Lempira
