Biodiversity patterns diverge along geographic temperature gradients

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 603-617, February 2023., 2023
Integrating historical lake sampling from a series of adjacent mountain ranges in western North America (a) we assessed variation across multiple dimensions of zooplankton biodiversity both within, and between, elevational and latitudinal gradients (b).

Environmental DNA (eDNA) detects temporal and habitat effects on community composition and endangered species in ephemeral ecosystems: A case study in vernal pools

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 85-101, January 2023., 2023
Vernal pools are temporary wetlands that can form during a rainy season, often in Mediterranean climates, and serve as ideal testing grounds to understand species detection using eDNA and how biological communities may shift across time and spatial and environmental heterogeneity.

Use of marine vs. freshwater proteins for egg‐laying and incubation by sea ducks breeding in Arctic tundra

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Understanding dietary nutrient sources is fundamental to conserving sensitive species, especially as climate change alters food web dynamics. Migratory species that depend on both marine and terrestrial habitats face unique challenges, as the locations and quality of resources in the two realms may respond quite differently to environmental ...

A molecular‐based identification resource for the arthropods of Finland

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 803-822, February 2022., 2022
Abstract To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated by Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, we (1) report the creation of a comprehensive reference library of DNA barcodes for the arthropods of an entire country (Finland), (2) publish this library, and (3) deliver a new ...

Screwed up: Spirality of segments and other iterated structures suggest an underlying principle of seriality in bilaterians

Journal of Morphology, Volume 282, Issue 6, Page 833-846, June 2021., 2021
Spiral segmentation or helicomery was first described in annelid and arthropod body segments. However, corresponding patterns occur in arthropod appendages and other bilaterians with serially arranged body parts, such as tapeworms, nematodes, vertebrates, and probably chitons.

Price premiums for wildlife‐friendly rice: Insights from Japanese retail data

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 3, Issue 6, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Integrating the benefits associated with biodiversity into market mechanisms can play an important role in conservation practice. Food labeling is a widely used measure that highlights biodiversity conservation benefits to the market. However, few studies have explored the effects of labels on staple agricultural products that are associated ...

EVOLUTION IN THE NOTOSTRACA [PDF]

Evolution, 1955
The Notostraca are phyllopod Crustacea in which the carapace is shield-shaped and covers the anterior part of the body; together with other phyllopods, they are considered to be relatively unevolved Crustacea-there is a high, but irregular, number of appendages (forty to sixty pairs are usual) and the segmentation of the body is anameristic.

New Data on the Distribution of Southern Forests for the West Siberian Plain during the Late Pleistocene: A Paleoentomological Approach

Diversity, 2023
Subfossil remains of insects and branchiopod crustaceans (Cladocera and Notostraca) found in three late Pleistocene deposits in the Novosibirsk region in the vicinity of the village of Suzun have been described. The calibrated radiocarbon dates for these
