Taxonomic Status of Nominal Species of the Long-Fin Herring Genus Ilisha Previously Regarded as Synonyms of Ilisha megaloptera (Swainson, 1839) (Teleostei: Clupeiformes: Pristigasteridae)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Numerous specimens of long-fin herrings (ilishas), previously identified as Ilisha megaloptera (Swainson, 1839) because of their asymmetrical swimbladder, deep body, and few ventral scutes, were examined and found to represent three valid species: Ilisha

Do solar farms alter invertebrate communities and reduce activity of the common pipistrelle bat (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) through prey‐mediated effects?

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
We investigated the effects of ground‐mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) farms on arthropod communities and tested whether changes in prey availability explain reduced bat activity. Solar farms altered arthropod community composition but did not reduce the abundance of key dipteran prey for Pipistrellus pipistrellus.

Urban‐driven homogenization of aquatic subsidy size structure cascades to riparian predator communities

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
The export of emergent aquatic insects is a critical energy subsidy for terrestrial food webs. While urbanization is known to alter stream communities, its effects on the size structure of these insect subsidies and the subsequent consequences for riparian predators remain poorly understood.

Potential Impacts of Low Flows on Fish Foodscapes and Production in a Braided River

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1366-1382, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Changes in river discharge affect the physical composition and connectivity of habitats which, in turn, may shape the spatial distribution of fish food abundance, accessibility and quality—the ‘foodscape’—of river ecosystems. However, the influence of river flows on fish foodscapes has received very little attention from scientists. We studied

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Hydrobiological study of the small stream on the Czech–Moravian Highlands

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2010
Zoobenthos of the Fryšávka Rivulet was investigated in the years 2007–2008. Research included also physico-chemical factors of water (temperature, pH, conductivity, oxygen saturation).

Trophic Redundancy and the Hidden Dietary Overlap Between Native and Invasive Stream Fishes

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions introduce non‐native species into natural ecosystems, often reshaping localcommunities and altering trophic interactions. In freshwater environments, such invasions can intensify resource use and threaten native fish diversity.

The nature of allometry in an exaggerated trait: The postocular flange in Platyneuromus Weele (Insecta: Megaloptera). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The origin and function of exaggerated traits exhibited by a great number of species with sexual dimorphism remain largely unexplored. The usual model considered as the evolutionary mechanism for the development of these structures is sexual selection ...
