Drivers of variation in yellow crazy ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) abundance and impacts on native fauna in an atoll ecosystem

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Yellow crazy ants (Anoplolepis gracilipes; YCA) are widespread invaders of islands across the Pacific and Indian Oceans. We investigated the ecological preferences and impacts of this species on a Polynesian atoll. We show that even at low abundances, this species can have important impacts on the fauna, including seabirds, and require management ...

Phylogeny of respiratory adaptations and local temperature extremes shape the thermal vulnerability of intertidal crabs

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2637-2655, October 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is expected to significantly impact coastal populations worldwide. The macrophysiological factors that determine the upper thermal limits (UTL) of intertidal ectotherms, however, remain poorly understood.

A New Varunid Subfamily (Decapoda, Brachyura, Grapsoidea, Varunidae) for Crabs From European and West African Waters, With the Description of Two New Genera and Two New Species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Morphological and DNA sequencing studies of Varunidae specimens, previously considered to belong to the genus Asthenognathus, from eastern Atlantic waters have allowed the description of two new genera and two new species. From a molecular point of view, it is shown that they belong to a new subfamily, distinct from Asthenognathinae and that there are ...
