Enemy release: loss of parasites in invasive freshwater bivalves Sinanodonta woodiana and Corbicula fluminea

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Invasive freshwater bivalves harm native species, ecosystems and biodiversity, and incur economic costs. The enemy release hypothesis posits that invasive species are released from enemies during the invasion process, giving them a competitive advantage in the new environment.

Community structure and range shifts in Arctic marine fish under climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Arctic marine ecosystems are rapidly transforming due to climate change. Warming temperatures and shrinking sea ice are enabling boreal fish to expand northward, possibly disturbing cold‐adapted Arctic species assemblages. Species range shifts have been documented in the Bering and Barents Seas, raising concerns about ecosystem restructuring.

The amount of reachable habitat determines population fate

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The scientific community remains divided on the most effective way to design landscapes for biodiversity conservation or restoration. Although there is a consensus that habitat loss is the main cause of biodiversity decline worldwide, the extent to which fragmentation (i.e.

Forest patches as stepping stones: evidence from invertebrate taxonomic and functional diversity in experimentally created water‐filled tree holes

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs), such as water‐filled tree holes (WTHs), are important structures for forest biodiversity, providing habitats for many specialized species, which are however impaired by the intensive forest management of the past. Strategies to maintain and promote TreMs in managed forests, e.g.
