Evaluation of the pollution pressures posed by groups of chemicals on British riverine invertebrate populations. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Globally, rivers receive a diverse range of chemicals, including metals, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, petrochemicals, human and veterinary pharmaceuticals and personal care products. However, the extent to which these different chemical groups affect riverine invertebrate communities is not well defined.

Assessing Biodiversity at Eastern Oyster (<i>Crassostrea virginica</i>) Aquaculture and Reef Sites Utilizing Real-Time Monitoring and Environmental DNA in Rehoboth Bay, Delaware, USA. [PDF]
Ecol EvolEastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) are a keystone species and vital to the commercial shellfish industry, acting as environmental engineers that enhance biodiversity. To study their impact, real‐time monitoring and Environmental DNA analysis were conducted at various sites in Rehoboth Bay, Delaware and 23 species were identified, with Spot ...

Comparable use of tidal living shorelines and natural‐fringe marshes by herons and shorebirds
Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Living shorelines (LSs) increasingly are implemented as a defense against coastal erosion and rising seas; however, their ecological function for wading birds has not been evaluated. Here, we compared heron and shorebird use of LSs (created fringe salt marshes with a wave break fronting the planted marshes) to natural‐fringe marshes (NFMs) in ...

Cryptic Species in Ecotoxicology
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 9, Page 1889-1914, September 2023., 2023 Abstract The advent of genetic methods has led to the discovery of an increasing number of species that previously could not be distinguished from each other on the basis of morphological characteristics. Even though there has been an exponential growth of publications on cryptic species, such species are rarely considered in ecotoxicology.

Axonal ion homeostasis and glial differentiation
The FEBS Journal, Volume 290, Issue 15, Page 3737-3744, August 2023., 2023 To allow axonal action potential propagation in invertebrates, glial cells can form lacunae to provide a larger extracellular ion reservoir. Voltage‐gated ion channels can cluster at the axonal plasma membrane abutting the lacunae. When the glial cell processes forming the lacunae collapse, a myelin‐like stacking of membrane sheets is formed around the

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Vector or reservoir species of three diseases of crustaceans listed in the Animal Health Law were identified based on evidence generated through an extensive literature review, to support a possible updating of Regulation (EU) 2018/1882.

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 7, Page 1388-1403, July 2023., 2023 Alligators serve as apex predators in wetlands, but this work reveals that they also function as ecosystem engineers capable of radically altering plant and animal communities and nutrient dynamics. Alligators modify food‐web structure by digging and maintaining alligator ponds that provide habitat to fishes and inverterbrates under hydrological stress.

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Despite the popularity of recreational fishing, our understanding of the impacts of this type of harvest within marine ecosystems generally lags behind the well‐documented effects of commercial fisheries. Intertidal oysters serve as ecosystem engineers within otherwise soft‐bottom estuaries but may be disproportionately susceptible to harvest ...

Changes in water flow alter community dynamics in oyster reefs
Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Fluid (air or water) movements are key determinants of living systems from cellular to community levels of organization. Water flow can influence individual fitness and local population dynamics, but less is known about the collective response of natural communities to alteration in water flow because parameter responses to flow may be ...
