Planted grasslands have equivalent or higher arthropod biomass than native grassland important to nesting Sprague's Pipits (Anthus spragueii) early in the breeding season

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Grassland species are declining globally. Sprague's Pipit (Anthus spragueii), a native grassland‐obligate, nests in planted grasslands in some regions. How food resources in planted grassland compare with those in native grassland is important to determine the relative benefits of creating new grassland by seeding cropland with ...

Environmental Stress Drives Plasticity in Sexual Bimaturism in the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens Linnaeus, 1758)

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 736-749, July 2026.
We measured the plasticity in sexual bimaturism (SBM; differences between sexes in the timing of sexual maturity) in the black soldier fly (BSF) by exposing larvae to nutrient availability and humidity stress. Our results show that SBM can range between protandry and protogyny depending on the environmental quality. Additionally, we found the degree of

Cage Aquaculture Influences the Abundance and Diversity of Pelagic and Benthic Macroinvertebrate Communities: Insights From Anyanga Beach, Lake Victoria, Kenya

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cage aquaculture is expanding in Lake Victoria to meet increasing fish demand, yet ecological impacts remain a concern. This study assessed the effects of cage aquaculture on water quality and the abundance and diversity of pelagic and benthic macroinvertebrates at Anyanga Beach, Lake Victoria, Kenya.

Metacommunity patterns in larval odonates

open access: yesOecologia, 2008
The growth of metacommunity ecology as a subdiscipline has increased interest in how processes at different spatial scales structure communities. However, there is still a significant knowledge gap with respect to relating the action of niche- and dispersal-assembly mechanisms to observed species distributions across gradients.

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Fish Introductions Reshape Antipredator Sensitivity in Rana temporaria Tadpoles Across Alpine Lakes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Introduced fish can alter predator–prey interactions in alpine lakes. We show that Rana temporaria tadpoles exposed to fish‐associated environments exhibit increased sensitivity to predation risk. These findings highlight how biological invasions reshape antipredator behavior across ecological contexts.
