Oases of endemism: Regional aquifer desert springs serve as biodiversity hotspots preserving vulnerable endemic taxa in the Great Basin and Mojave Desert regions

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Spring ecosystems in arid regions often serve as crucial biodiversity hotspots by providing some of the only reliable sources of surface water. However, anthropogenic activities and climate change have severely degraded spring ecosystems worldwide, emphasizing the need for large‐scale multidisciplinary studies informing conservation efforts ...

Frozen Biofloc Biomass as A Functional Feed Supplement Enhances Production Performance of Mexican Dwarf Crayfish (Cambarellus patzcuarensis)

open access: yesJurnal Perikanan Universitas Gadjah Mada
Cambarellus patzcuarensis is a freshwater ornamental crayfish with stable export demand, yet its culture performance is frequently constrained by the limited availability of feeds that resemble its natural trophic niche. This study investigated the potential of biofloc derived from red Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture as a functional ...

Current Status, Past Trends, and Future Projections of Renewable Forest Resources and Ecosystem Services Across the United States

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Forest ecosystems provide essential services such as timber, water regulation, biodiversity, and recreation, yet they are increasingly influenced by the interplay between climate and socioeconomic forces. This study synthesizes findings from the 2020 Resources Planning Act (RPA) Assessment to evaluate how these factors affect historical trends

Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 274-284, June 2026.
Crayfish are a vital part of freshwater ecosystems, yet one third of assessed species are threatened with extinction, and almost 90% are highly sensitive to climate change. In this study, we produced a phylogenetically‐informed species prioritisation for crayfish conservation and explored the impacts of projected climate change scenarios on crayfish ...

The Integration of Fire Ecology and Freshwater Ecosystems in North America: Knowledge Gaps and Research Needs

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Illustration of key knowledge gaps and pathways linking fire ecology and freshwater ecosystems. Climate change provides the overarching context, interacting with cumulative and cross‐scale effects to shape local freshwater conditions. Within this context, fire characteristics influence three primary pathways within freshwater ecosystems: species and ...

Reproductive biology, artificial reproduction, and breeding strategies of the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii): A review

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) is widely cultured and consumed due to its palatable meat and high nutritional value. It also becomes the most valuable crustacean species because of its amazing yield and economic value in China. However, P.

Insights Into Spatial Orientation and Cognition in Tarantulas (Araneae: Theraphosidae) Under Natural Conditions, With Notes on Possible Ontogenetic Niche Shifts

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Cognitive studies on spiders have largely ignored mygalomorphs, such as tarantulas, and almost completely lack field‐based observations. We present nine observations of arboreal and fossorial New World tarantulas, including a blind cave‐dwelling species, providing evidence for possible experience‐based navigation and spatial learning during foraging ...

Healthcare Professional Survey on Complementary Feeding and Allergy Prevention in High‐ Versus Low‐Risk Infants: An EAACI Task Force Report

open access: yesAllergy, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 977-999, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Complementary feeding (CF) influences infants' long‐term dietary preferences, growth, and food allergy (FA) risk. However, guidance given to families and the implementation of FA prevention guidelines by healthcare professionals (HCPs) remain unclear.

Investigation of the gut microbiome community, abundance, and functions of Procambarus clarkii under different aquaculture conditions

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract To examine the gut microbial composition and functional attributes of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) across different rearing environments, this experiment employed high‐throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene of bacterial DNA isolated from the gut.
