Search for Bioindicators of Pollution in the Guanabara Bay: Integrations of Ecologic Patterns [PDF]

open access: yesAnuário do Instituto de Geociências, 2003
Guanabara Bay, since its discovery, has largely changed with the human occupation causing large amounts of deposited sediment and waste, as well as domestic and industry sewage. Surface sediment was analysed for foraminifera and ostracoda distribution,

Individual and combined effects of shading and habitat complexity on benthic macroinvertebrate communities in a mesocosm stream experiment (São Paulo, Brazil)

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Agricultural activities are a major driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation in subtropical streams, often altering macroinvertebrate community structure and associated ecosystem functions. Although restoration strategies increasingly target these impacts, the relative importance of riparian shading and in‐stream ...

Profundum solomoni (Amphipoda: Uristidae) Exhibits a Disjunct Geographic Distribution at Hadal Depths Across the San Cristobal Trench, Santa Cruz Trench and Nova Canton Trough

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 639-651, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Hadal environments (> 6000 m ocean depths) are often viewed as isolated locations with high species endemism due to limited dispersal. However, molecular studies continue to reveal greater complexity that questions historical perceptions. Recent population genetic studies focused on scavenging amphipods have identified broadly distributed ...

Towards objectivity in Ostracoda species definition

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2020
The problem of consistent identification of unornamented fossil ostracod taxa, especially species, is reviewed in an historical context. The solution lies in modern imaging and image storage and handling technologies combined with a careful but pragmatic

Marine Parasite Biogeography Mirrors Host Patterns Across Latitude, Area, and Diversity

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Parasites are integral components of biodiversity, yet they remain poorly represented in large‐scale biogeographic theory. In this study, we test whether marine parasites follow three macroecological patterns established for free‐living taxa, namely that parasite species richness: (1) scales positively with area (both host body size and geographic area)

Bromelicolous Habit and Phoresy of Ostracoda in a Species of Treefrog From the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Some plants develop phytotelmata, specialized structures that retain water and form small aquatic ecosystems harbouring diverse organisms. Bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) are classic examples, as their leaf axils provide suitable habitats for bacteria, algae, protozoa, invertebrates and vertebrates, including anurans.

The first known troglomorphic, eyeless spider wasp (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae): Troglopompilus miracaecatus gen. et sp. nov. from the Nullarbor Caves, Western Australia

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Surveys of caves of the Nullarbor Plain, Western Australia, revealed a remarkable assemblage of exceptionally well‐preserved mummified arthropods, comprising Araneae, Blattodea, Coleoptera and Chilopoda, all of which exhibit high levels of troglomorphism, lacking eyes and showing a number of other adaptations.
