Potential Invasive Indo‐Pacific Acropora in a Coral Reef of Venezuela: A Contribution to Their Morphological and Molecular Knowledge

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We report the first record of a non‐native hermatypic coral in Venezuela, exhibiting biological traits characteristic of invasive species. The coral is a member of the genus Acropora (Scleractinia: Acroporidae), native to the Indo‐Pacific. This non‐native petrous coral occurred in a reef of the Morrocoy National Park, in the southern Caribbean.

The Downward Floral Orientation in Polygonatum cyrtonema Enhances Pollination Efficiency and Reproductive Fitness

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We reveal that the downward floral orientation in Polygonatum cyrtonema functions as a key floral trait, increasing visitation by effective bumble bees and reducing interference from inefficient insects, while also shielding reproductive tissues from rain and solar radiation.

Rapid ideal habitat selection in a homogeneous environment

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Studies of density‐dependent habitat selection typically assess choices between two or more distinctly different habitat opportunities. Although such studies can clearly document habitat choice, they cannot unambiguously differentiate the effects of density from underlying differences in habitat and their associated cues for choosing some ...

Adaptive responses to environmental variability in rotifers: Integrating plasticity and bet hedging in dormancy exit

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Environmental variability imposes strong selective pressures that may favor adaptive responses such as phenotypic plasticity and bet hedging. Plasticity is generally favored under predictable conditions, whereas bet hedging is advantageous against environmental uncertainty. Plastic responses rely on reliable cues to adjust phenotypes to future

Seroprevalence and Genotype Distribution of Toxoplasma gondii Among Pregnant Women in Northwest Ethiopia: A Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infection poses significant risks during pregnancy, yet data on seroprevalence and genotype diversity in Ethiopia are scarce. Objective This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence, associated risk factors, and genotype distribution of T. gondii among pregnant women in Northwest Ethiopia.
