Hydrological Connectivity Enhances Fish Biodiversity in Amazonian Mining Ponds: Insights From eDNA and Traditional Sampling

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) expansion in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon has transformed primary forests into a novel wetland complex of thousands of abandoned mining ponds. Despite their ecological relevance, post‐mining recovery of these systems remains understudied, particularly regarding fish biodiversity ...

Strong scale‐dependent relationships between fine‐root function and soil properties uncovered with spatially coupled sampling

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Substantial fine‐root trait variation is found at fine spatial scales but rarely linked to edaphic variation. We assessed the spatial scales of variation in fine‐root traits and adjacent soils using a spatially coupled, nested sampling scheme along a fertility gradient in a seasonally dry tropical forest tree, Handroanthus ochraceus.

Habitat complexity promotes species richness and community stability: a case study in a marine biogenic habitat

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Habitat complexity (HC) promotes species richness and abundance. Aquatic environments are faced with intense pressures that threaten the 3D structure of the seafloor, with cascading effects on ecosystem functioning and biodiversity. Maerl or rhodolith beds are marine biogenic habitats created by few species of free‐living non‐geniculate coralline algae
