Keystone communities can rescue aquatic metacommunities influenced by pesticide contamination. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Pesticide contamination in freshwater habitats is a major global issue, affecting water quality, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. Uncontaminated habitats embedded in agricultural landscapes might act as keystone communities, with the ability to restore diversity and ecological processes in contaminated sites through dispersal.

Photoprotective potential of gadusol against ultraviolet B radiation in melanocytes

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Gadusol protects melanocytes from ultraviolet B (UVB)‐induced damage without cytotoxicity. Abstract The increasing incidence of skin cancer, including melanoma, combined with the need for ultraviolet (UV) filters that are safe for human health and marine ecosystems, is driving the search for new photoprotective agents.

Fragmentation by Dams and Habitat Quality Affect Body Condition of a Small Characid in a Neotropical System

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The structure of stream networks naturally fragments freshwater habitats, but this complexity is increasingly intensified by dams and reservoirs. How anthropogenic fragmentation interacts with natural isolation gradients to affect fish populations remains poorly understood.

Long‐Term Changes in Planktonic Ciliate Beta Diversity Under Contrasting Hydrological Regulation in A River–Floodplain System

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Hydrological regulation by dams reshaped ciliate biodiversity over 14 years, increasing temporal compositional change and ecological uniqueness while accelerating declines in richness and density. These results highlight flood‐pulse dynamics as a fundamental mechanism sustaining biodiversity and ecological integrity in river‐floodplain ecosystems ...

Caught Between Macrophytes and Human Impact: Zooplankton Facing Multiple Stressors in Tropical Waters

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Tropical freshwater systems host diverse and functionally important zooplankton communities that are increasingly threatened by multiple stressors. Here, we assessed how land‐use disturbance, local environmental conditions and macrophyte structure influence zooplankton richness, abundance and composition in Amazonian ponds and streams.

Dissimilar response of plant and soil biota communities to long-term nutrient adition in grasslands [PDF]

, 2009
The long-term effect of fertilizers on plant diversity and productivity is well known, but long-term effects on soil biota communities have received relatively little attention.

Tell me where you flow and I will tell you who you are: basin context shapes the insect fauna of small tributaries

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
The traditional view of river basins as linear corridors has led to numerous studies examining the effects of stream size on aquatic communities. However, similar‐sized streams may harbor distinct faunal assemblages depending on their spatial context within the basin. Headwater tributaries (HTs) that flow into small streams, in the periphery of basins,

Climate Predicts Tree Dispersal Strategies Across Brazil's Ecosystems

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes—endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and ...
