Emigration patterns of motile cryptofauna and their implications for trophic functioning in coral reefs. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 The density and diversity of species on coral reefs are greatest in dead coral and rubble, but this is driven by some of the smallest unseen individuals, limiting how accessible this energy is in the food web. Our study addresses this gap, showing how small‐scale patterns of movement influence prey accessibility, species' interactions, and community ...

Redescription and reassignment of Ondina semicingulata to the Pyramidellidae, with review of the occurrence of genus Evalea in the Western Atlantic (Gastropoda) [PDF]
Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2018 Acteon semicingulatus Dall, 1927, previously known only by its original description is reassigned to the Pyramidellidae, in Ondina, based on the collecting of several new specimens along the coast of Brazil, in the same bathymetry as the type locality ...

Micromollusk families in 2 contrasting seasons in Bahia de los Angeles, Gulf of California, Mexico
Ciencias Marinas, 2023 Marine mollusks provide important ecosystem services. They create habitats for benthic organisms, filter water, biodeposit organic carbon in the seafloor, and serve as food sources for other organisms. Studies of mollusk diversity require time-consuming

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 3, May/June 2023., 2023 Abstract The Miocene mica‐clay deposits of Groß Pampau (northern Germany) are well known for their diverse assemblages of marine mammals. Despite numerous systematic and biostratigraphic studies, an in‐depth palaeoecological analysis of its molluscan assemblages and a comprehensive palaeoenvironmental reconstruction are lacking.

Origin of the tropical–polar biodiversity contrast
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 1207-1227, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim The aim was to investigate the evolutionary origins of the striking biodiversity contrast between high‐ and low‐latitude regions in the present day. Is this a relatively recent phenomenon, causally linked in some way to the greenhouse–icehouse transition and onset of global cooling c.

Linking habitat interactions and biodiversity within seascapes
Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Habitat interactions play key roles in regulating biodiversity and ecosystem functions. This is particularly important in aquatic ecosystems, where the flow of water facilitates exchanges of energy and matter. Oyster reefs, a highly degraded habitat globally and a key focus for restoration efforts, can reduce water movement and facilitate the ...

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 Abstract Exotic species invasions have profound effects on native ecosystems, with the ecological effects of non‐native plants being especially pervasive. We investigated the impacts of a plant invasion on benthic invertebrate assemblages in intertidal wetlands of the Yellow River Delta, comparing benthic communities associated with exotic Spartina ...

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 89-102, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim A large body of ecological theory predicts that non‐indigenous species (NIS) are successful invaders if their niches overlap little with native taxa. Native–non‐indigenous trait dissimilarity, however, may also be observed if NIS have outcompeted ecologically similar native species. Discriminating these scenarios is essential for assessing
