Factors affecting intraspecific diet variation of ducklings: Niche partitioning in a heterogeneous landscape?

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Variability in resource use within populations of free‐ranging animals can influence demographic and evolutionary processes. Yet in many ecological systems, the extent of intra‐population variation in the resources that animals consume and the environmental factors that contribute to this variance remain poorly understood. For example, dietary

Far From Roads, Challenges Arise: Unravelling Knowledge Gaps in the Occurrence of Cave‐Restricted Species on the African Continent

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding patterns of biodiversity distribution is fundamental for ecology, biogeography, and conservation. However, persistent challenges arise from the inaccessibility of many regions and habitats. Subterranean environments, in particular, host highly distinctive and specialised faunal assemblages, yet their investigation is hindered by ...

Duurzame Schelpdiertransporten [PDF]

, 2009
Er worden regelmatig schelpdieren geïmporteerd uit verschillende landen naar de Nederlandse kustwateren ten behoeve van de schelpdiercultuur. Met de import van schelpdieren bestaat de kans dat er onbedoeld ongewenste organismen zoals exoten, ziektes en ...

Measuring juvenile habitat quality for fishes and invertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2346-2395, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Identifying the role of marine and estuarine habitats in supporting fish and invertebrate populations during vulnerable juvenile life stages is essential to achieve effective conservation and fisheries management. There remains general agreement that: (i) the quality of juvenile habitat is best measured as the contribution of juveniles to ...

PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE STOMATOPODA (MALACOSTRACA) [PDF]

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 1997
ABSTRACT The stomatopods or mantis shrimps are malacostracan crustaceans of the subclass Hoplocarida. All extant hoplocarids belong to the order Stomatopoda and suborder Unipeltata. The Unipeltata comprises the extinct, stem-lineage sculdids, and the crown-group which includes the 19 extant families with more than 400 species.

An illustrated key to Malacostraca (Crustacea) of the Northern Arabian Sea part-V: Isopoda [PDF]

, 2002
The northern Arabian Sea Isopod fauna is keyed out, excluding the gulfs fauna. Some terrestrial species are also included. Previous accounts and recent collections from Pakistan mainly at Karachi have turned up 7 suborders, 18 families, 76 genera and 12

Unravelling Hidden Trophic Interactions Among Sea Urchin Juveniles and Macroinvertebrates by DNA Amplification

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Rocky reefs may shift between two distinct stable states: productive algal forests, characterised by high abundance and biodiversity of macrofauna, and impoverished barrens, dominated by overgrazing sea urchins. Barren states may persist despite the recovery of adult sea urchin predators, suggesting additional stabilising mechanisms.

Hidden-break diversity in pancrustacean rRNA profiles [PDF]

PeerJ
Background In the 28S rRNA molecule of many invertebrates, a hidden break splits this large subunit into two noncovalently associated fragments (28Sa and 28Sb), masking 28S in electrophoretic profiles and biasing the standard measurements of RNA quality ...

Responses of Macroinvertebrate Communities to Heterogeneity Among Typical Reaches in the Upper Yangtze River

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study examines how hydraulic and geomorphological heterogeneity shape benthic macroinvertebrate communities in the mountainous upper Yangtze River. Integrating field measurements with hydrodynamic modeling, it identifies distinct community patterns across canyon, anabranching, and Reef–Tuo reaches, driven by flow velocity, sediment dynamics, and ...
