Prey‐Foraging Patterns in a Complex Landscape of Fear

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Prey antipredator defenses may weaken when a predator is cannibalistic or stressed, but it remains unclear which predator prey systems show this effect and how strongly it shapes trophic cascades. In our aquatic food chain (higher order predator, mesopredator, and mesopredator's prey), we found no defense suppression in mesopredators exposed to ...

Hitchhikers on an Invader: The Parasitic Leech Myzobdella lugubris and the Epibiotic Barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus on the Atlantic Blue Crab Callinectes sapidus in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study documents the first worldwide record of the parasitic leech Myzobdella lugubris and the commensal barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus associated with invasive Atlantic blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) in southwestern Europe. Molecular analyses confirmed the identity of these Western Atlantic native species, highlighting a complex multi‐level co‐

Tracking interannual variation of a large‐scale ocean front influences foraging in a mesopelagic predator

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Macroscale ocean fronts aggregate significant biomass and provide critical foraging habitat for large marine predators. These frontal systems shift in response to ocean climate variation, including basin‐scale oscillations, and the degree to which marine predators track these movements affects their foraging and reproductive success. Using two

A “demand and supply” approach to monitoring habitat and population changes of migratory birds

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 3, April 2026.
Habitat loss and degradation threaten thousands of migratory bird species worldwide. Yet, because the distributions of migratory birds change throughout the year, quantifying the impacts of threats and identifying key sites for conservation attention have proved challenging.

Ophidiomycosis Prevalence and Disease Ecology in a Natrix tessellata (Laurenti, 1768) Population From Northern Italy

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 3, Page 292-305, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Fungal pathogens pose a growing threat to vertebrate biodiversity. In snakes, Ophidiomyces ophidiicola (Oo) has garnered particular concern, although its impact in Europe remains poorly understood. We conducted a season‐long, standardized survey of dice snakes (Natrix tessellata) along the northern shore of Lake Como (Italy) to quantify Oo and
