The Dairy Ruminant Gut Microbiome: Profile, Responsiveness to Seasonality and Impact on Milk Quality
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2026.The dairy ruminant gut microbiome that is shaped by host and diet is affected by seasonality and rearing. These factors can impact dairy productivity and milk quality potentially through the gut microbiota. ABSTRACT The gut microbiome (GM) and particularly the rumen microbiome (RM) affect the ruminant health and they are associated with milk quality ...

Understanding evolutionary processes during past Quaternary climatic cycles: Can it be applied to the future? [PDF]
, 2010 Climate change affected ecological community make-up during the Quaternary which was probably both the cause of, and was caused by, evolutionary processes such as species evolution, adaptation and extinction of species and ...

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Functional diversity and redundancy across fish gut, sediment and water bacterial communities. [PDF]
, 2017 This article explores the functional diversity and redundancy in a bacterial metacommunity constituted of three habitats (sediment, water column and fish gut) in a coastal lagoon under anthropogenic pressure. Comprehensive functional gene arrays covering

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.The processes driving community assembly are broadly categorised into deterministic and stochastic ones. With a multi‐replicated experimental design, we quantified the extent to which stochasticity at initial stages of community assembly could drive divergence into alternative ecological trajectories.

Bee community and trait‐based responses to fire in a Mediterranean landscape
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 530-547, May 2026.Fire drives a short‐term increase in bee abundance and diversity, despite its strong negative impact on floral resources. Acting as an environmental filter, fire shapes bee communities as increased post‐fire fine‐scale heterogeneity favors bees with specific functional traits such as ground‐nesting and generalist species.

Organic farms as refuges for small mammal biodiversity in agro ecosystems [PDF]
, 2011 Habitat fragmentation, the process by which relatively continuous habitats is broken into smaller pieces, occurs in natural systems but is to a high degree also human-induced through landscape use.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 634-646, May 2026.Despite severe habitat loss, insect species richness, seasonal fluctuations in richness and temporal β‐diversity did not differ significantly among forests adjacent to the mudflow and reference sites. We found higher wet‐season species richness for ants, bees, butterflies and dung beetles, while termites showed no seasonal change; β‐diversity was ...

Metacommunity patterns in larval odonates
Oecologia, 2008 The growth of metacommunity ecology as a subdiscipline has increased interest in how processes at different spatial scales structure communities. However, there is still a significant knowledge gap with respect to relating the action of niche- and dispersal-assembly mechanisms to observed species distributions across gradients.
