Keystone Predation: What Is It, and Is It Supported by Empirical Evidence?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Keystone predation has been widely cited as a key ecological mechanism controlling community structures, but is supported by limited theoretical and experimental studies. Reviewing these studies showed keystone predation has been documented across realms, appears to be most prevalent in sessile and dispersal‐limited communities and can be modified by ...

The major egg reserve protein from the invasive apple snail Pomacea maculata is a complex carotenoprotein related to those of Pomacea canaliculata and Pomacea scalaris

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2014
Snails from the genus Pomacea lay conspicuous masses of brightly colored eggs above the water. Coloration is given by carotenoproteins that also which play important roles in protection against sun radiation, stabilizing and transporting antioxidant molecules and helping to protect embryos from desiccation and predators.

Divergent Response of Host‐Specific Driven Gut Microbial Stability in Freshwater Gastropods to Cyanobacterial Blooms

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
In this study, two freshwater gastropods (Bellamya aeruginosa and Pomacea canaliculata) were used as controls to study the differences in the effects of cyanobacteria on their gut microbial communities in ponds with the absence of cyanobacterial blooms. Cyanobacterial blooms cause distinct differences in the diversity, community structure, and assembly

An invasive prey alters local and landscape contributions of sources and sinks for an endangered predator

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Source‐sink dynamics are a cornerstone of theory for spatially structured populations. Despite long‐standing interest, understanding temporal variation in source‐sink dynamics in wild populations remains rare. Biological invasions have the potential to alter source‐sink dynamics for native species, which may change over time as invasions ...

Discharge and nutrients interact to determine trophic structure in a wetland: Evidence from a landscape‐scale manipulation

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3355-3369, November 2025.
Abstract Identifying drivers of consumer biomass patterns and community structure is complex for managed freshwater ecosystems that are sensitive to nutrients and drought. In the Florida Everglades, flow restoration is expected to reintroduce discharge across an expansive wetland, yet most research on consumers has focused on water depth and dry ...
