Water availability and land‐use shape the diversity of Odonata in the Middle East

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Odonata diversity in the Middle East depends on the availability of long‐lasting waters, emphasizing the importance of preserving stable aquatic habitats for biodiversity conservation under climate change‐driven droughts. Agricultural expansion is associated with increased Odonata species richness, but overall trait diversity remains limited ...

Shedding light on the environmental efficiency of the public light service: minimising light pollution through the global Malmquist–Luenberger index

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The search for evidence in public management and the implementation of good management by public bodies is becoming increasingly important, and the principles of effectiveness and efficiency should be reinforced. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse the change in efficiency in the provision of public lighting services by local governments ...

Distribution modelling for Neotropical freshwater stingrays Potamotrygon brachyura and Potamotrygon motoro (Myliobatiformes, Potamotrygonidae) in the Uruguay River basin

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aimed to identify geographical distribution patterns of the giant short‐tailed river stingray Potamotrygon brachyura and the motoro stingray Potamotrygon motoro in the Uruguay River basin. Data on presence/absence of stingrays were based on fishers' knowledge accessed by interviews through expeditions in Brazil, Argentina and ...

New insights into the putative XX/XY sex chromosomal system in blue‐eyed red‐fin pleco Hypostomus soniae (Siluriformes, Loricariidae)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Blue‐eyed red‐fin pleco Hypostomus soniae (family Loricariidae) presented a putative sex system XX/XY in early stage. Aiming to explore the inter‐populational karyotypic variation and proposed emergence of the XX/XY system, we studied 13 H. soniae individuals (6 males, 7 females) from the Tapajós River.

A new endemic pearl cichlid of the ‘Geophagus’ brasiliensis (Cichliformes: Cichlidae) species group from the Piranga River, upper Doce River basin, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of pearl cichlid of the ‘Geophagus’ brasiliensis species group, endemic to the Piranga River, a major tributary of the upper Doce River basin in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, is herein described. The new species is delimited using an integrative approach, with molecular‐based species delimitation methods coupled
