Application of geometric morphometrics to analyse allometry in two species of the genus Myrmica (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

open access: yesSoil Organisms
Allometric changes in shape were analyzed in two species of the genus Myrmica using geometric morphometics. The pattern of allometry was visualized by thin plate splines (TPS) analysis.

Influence of Deadwood, Tree‐Related Microhabitats, and Forest Structural Features on Saproxylic Arthropod Diversity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding across 135 temperate forest plots in Germany to examine how deadwood, tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs), and forest structure shape saproxylic arthropod communities. Structural equation modeling revealed that TreM richness and deadwood volume are key predictors of arthropod diversity, highlighting the ...

Comprehensive Sampling Across Seasons and Habitats Revealed the Composition and Functional Attributes of Gut Microbiota Enterotypes in Subterranean Rodents

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The gut microbiota of Gansu zokor is classified into two enterotypes, which exhibit distinct seasonal and habitat distributions, microbial diversity, and community compositions dominated by different Bacillota‐to‐Bacteroidota ratios. These enterotypes correlate with host body size and are characterized by unique probiotic and pathogenic biomarkers ...

Genetic Divergence in the Absence of Strong Ecological Differences Between Coexisting White and Common Atlantic Marine Stickleback

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We examined whether the “white” threespine stickleback of Nova Scotia represents a nascent species distinct from sympatric common marine sticklebacks. Genomic analyses revealed that whites form a unique genetic cluster with low but widespread divergence across the genome despite evidence of gene flow, while morphometric and isotopic data indicated ...

Habitat‐Driven Sexual Dimorphism in Triplophysa strauchii Between Oxbow Lake and Stream: A Geometric Morphometric Analysis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The combined effects of sexual selection and natural selection give rise to sexual dimorphism in operculum and eye morphology of T. strauchii across the two river basins. And our study reveal the fine‐scale responses of fish sexual dimorphism to diverse selective forces.
