Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 260-274, March 2025.Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) invasion had taxon‐dependent effects on myriapods (Arthropoda: Myriapoda) in a protected urban meadow in Budapest, Hungary. Primary consumers such as millipedes and symphylans seemed to be more affected by the invasion than predators. Centipede assemblages were only affected by soil moisture and not by invasion.

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 64-76, January 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The introduction of non‐native tree species has become a global concern and may disrupt native communities and related ecosystem functions. Soil food webs regulate organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling in forests with their feeding activities, but evaluating

Dry season refuges, refugia and flow‐regime change in Mediterranean climate streams
Freshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 11, Page 1607-1626, November 2024.Abstract Climate change is causing stream flow regimes to change in many regions globally, including southwestern Australia (SWA) where many perennial streams have switched to intermittent flow regimes. In drier landscapes, ecological refuges and evolutionary refugia will become critical for conserving freshwater biodiversity.

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 11, November 2024.Our study examines how climate change and farming practices impact soil ecosystems, focusing on energy flux through the soil food web. We found that less intensive, sustainable farming methods help maintain soil ecosystem functioning, even under changing climate conditions.
