Brazil's Invisible Invaders: Are Craspedacusta Jellyfish a Ticking Ecological Bomb?
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT The invasive freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely of Asian origin, is globally distributed, yet its invasion history in South America remains poorly understood. Following a mass mortality event of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) during a jellyfish bloom in Paraná, Brazil, in March 2022, we conducted morphological and molecular ...

Habitat Modification by Grazing Lawns Reduces Soil Mite Diversity in a South African National Park
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Soil mesofauna are an integral part of the functioning of an ecosystem. They are relatively small in body size, occur in varying habitats and operate in a range of ecological niches. Soil mites are quite sensitive to changes in their environment and contribute to several important ecosystem services in their environments.

Evidence for the Stability Selection Mechanism in a Live Predator–Prey System
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.We demonstrate that the stability properties of a predator–prey pair vary with prey genetics and that the loss of unstable predator–prey pairs in subpopulations from the overall population can lead to trait evolution in the aggregate population. Our results indicate that community‐level processes such as predator–prey interactions can generate eco ...

Genomic Insights Into Host Shifts Between Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium simium in Latin America
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Malaria in Latin America is largely caused by Plasmodium vivax, but the closely related monkey parasite Plasmodium simium has recently been observed in humans, thus raising new public health concerns. By screening 719 monkey samples from five Latin America countries, we identified 23 Plasmodium‐positives.
