Height and phytotelm size affect the invertebrate communities of epiphytic bromeliads in the Amazon rainforest

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 221-234, April 2026.
The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...

Trophic Diversity in Aquatic Food Webs Along a Tropical Coastal River Continuum in West‐Central Africa

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In the wet Afrotropics, information on trophic diversity and resource use in freshwaters is extremely limited. Here we used stable isotope ratios (δ13C, δ15N) from food webs along the continuum of a coastal river in the Republic of the Congo to examine seasonal and spatial patterns of trophic diversity.

Methane‐Derived Carbon Contributes to Fish Biomass in a Deep, Eutrophic Reservoir

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Methanotrophic bacteria oxidise large amounts of biogenic methane produced in freshwater and bind the original methane carbon in their biomass. When these bacteria are consumed by other organisms, methane‐derived carbon enters food webs. Methane‐derived carbon can support a substantial part of invertebrate biomass in some freshwater ecosystems.

Land Use Influences on Freshwater Biodiversity

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Land‐use change is a major driver of biodiversity loss, but most generalisations about its effects come from terrestrial ecosystems. Given the fundamental differences in spatial structure and community assembly processes between terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, biodiversity responses to land‐use change may diverge.
