Abstract Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet inconspicuous or “cryptic” species often escape detection and public awareness, limiting management responses. We investigated the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely native to China and now present on six continents, through a 22‐month multilingual online survey

Host plant richness and abundance drive populations of a super‐generalist xylem‐feeding insect
Philaenus spumarius abundance was assessed across 93 sites and four habitat types (olive groves, vineyards, meadows, and field margins) within eight heterogeneous agricultural landscapes over the year. In spring, nymph abundance was positively associated with herbaceous plant species richness and vegetation cover, highlighting that even super ...

Controls on Magma Output From Stromboli's Plumbing System
Abstract Quantifying magma output over variable timescales is essential for understanding persistently active volcanoes. We analyze magma output at Stromboli (during 2000–2025) using satellite thermal data integrated with a comprehensive database of volcanic activity.

Estimating wild bee population size with validated distance sampling
Distance Sampling is a promising method to estimate population size but has never been validated on insects. We validated it on a honey bee population of known size. We applied Distance Sampling to three insular pollinators and found that estimates are consistent across days, match species phenology and reflect the expected influence of weather ...

Crustal Heat Flow Drives the Earthquake Magnitude Distribution
Abstract Earthquake magnitude‐frequency distributions exhibit significant space‐time variations, which can provide critical insights into the physical processes driving seismicity. Understanding these variations is crucial for assessing seismic hazards and uncovering the physical processes driving earthquakes.

Integrating Satellite Data Into Meso‐Scale Habitat Modeling for Non‐Perennial Rivers and Streams
Abstract Non‐perennial rivers and streams (NPRs) are widespread and projected to become more common, yet effective tools for their characterization and management remain limited. This study introduces a novel approach to assess aquatic habitat availability in NPRs, applied to a regulated reach of the Sangone River (Northern Italy).

Our study provides evidence that active restoration of deep‐sea CWCs habitats is technically feasible when guided by a rigorous, multidisciplinary approach integrating habitat mapping, ecological aspects and long‐term monitoring. The methodological framework presented here is intended to provide an operational template for designing and scaling ...
