From Lability to Conservatism: Evolutionary Patterns in the Traits of Stream Trichoptera

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The ability to predict biodiversity responses to ongoing environmental change depends on understanding the extent to which traits are conserved across evolutionary history. Examining the relationship between traits and phylogeny provides key insights into how evolutionary history constrains and structures the traits.

Combined Effects of Land‐Use‐ and Climate‐Driven Stressors on Stream Fungi and Organic Matter Decomposition

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater microbial communities sustain ecosystem functions and services, with aquatic fungi playing a key role in organic matter decomposition and nutrient transfer. However, the combined effects of multiple stressors on stream fungal biodiversity and functioning remain poorly understood.

Water availability and land‐use shape the diversity of Odonata in the Middle East

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 621-633, May 2026.
Odonata diversity in the Middle East depends on the availability of long‐lasting waters, emphasizing the importance of preserving stable aquatic habitats for biodiversity conservation under climate change‐driven droughts. Agricultural expansion is associated with increased Odonata species richness, but overall trait diversity remains limited ...

Trophic Niche Overlap Between the Invasive Crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii (Gould, 1841) and Native Crab Species in the Southwest Atlantic Coast

Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The introduction of exotic species is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss in aquatic ecosystems. The Harris mud crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii, native to the Atlantic coast of North America, was recorded in the Patos Lagoon estuary (southern Brazil) in the 1980s, likely introduced via ballast water. However, the effects of this invader

Fine‐Scale Ecological Biomonitoring in a Large, Complex Agriculturally Impacted Watershed via eDNA Metabarcoding

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT DNA‐based approaches utilizing high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) (e.g., DNA metabarcoding) have revolutionized ecological biomonitoring by providing higher sample throughput, greater reproducibility, and better cost‐benefits compared to traditional morphology‐based bioassessment studies.
