A Novel Invertebrate Predator on an Oceanic Island: Impacts and Invasion Dynamics of Kontikia andersoni on Macquarie Island

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
This study examines the invasion dynamics of the predatory invertebrate flatworm Kontikia andersoni, and its impacts on the invertebrate communities of sub‐Antarctic Macquarie Island. Our findings indicate that at higher elevations where K. andersoni is present there are significant reductions in invertebrate richness.

Investigating the Effects of Flow Regulation Combining Stream Geomorphology With Macroinvertebrate Ecology: A Case Study in the Orobic Alps (Italy)

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 18, Issue 5, July‐August 2025.
ABSTRACT Mountain streams exhibit hydrogeomorphological heterogeneity, which is further intensified by the presence of hydraulic infrastructure. Despite extensive research on the influence of hydrological conditions and flow regulation on ecology, there is a notable absence of holistic studies investigating stream dynamics from both geomorphologic and ...

Effects of Dry‐Phase Frequency and Duration on Macroinvertebrate Assemblages in an Alpine Stream

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Although temporary streams are a common feature of fluvial networks, the prevalence of flow intermittency of perennial streams, especially in alpine landscapes, has increased with climate change. The fluvial network of the alpine Val Roseg catchment in eastern Switzerland experiences ca. 80% surface flow contraction over an annual cycle.

An Update on the Sand Fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Khartoum, Sudan: Species Composition and Distribution in Areas Endemic for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis

open access: yesPublic Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
An update on the composition and distribution of sand fly species in the Nile environments of Khartoum. Variations were observed in species number than in species composition. The study will be a good reference for future studies on sandflies after the change in their habitat due to the current war in Sudan. ABSTRACT Phlebotomine sand flies are vectors
