Beyond Species Diversity: Functional Approaches Reveal Consistent Fauna Community Responses to Exotic Grass Invasion in Arid Lands

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
To assess whether the impacts of exotic plant invasion can be generalised across taxa, we developed a conceptual framework predicting faunal responses to grass invasion in open, arid ecosystems and tested our predictions using data on birds, reptiles and ants from sites invaded by buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and paired uninvaded sites.

Hitchhikers on an Invader: The Parasitic Leech Myzobdella lugubris and the Epibiotic Barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus on the Atlantic Blue Crab Callinectes sapidus in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study documents the first worldwide record of the parasitic leech Myzobdella lugubris and the commensal barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus associated with invasive Atlantic blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) in southwestern Europe. Molecular analyses confirmed the identity of these Western Atlantic native species, highlighting a complex multi‐level co‐

A New Genus of Miniaturized and Pug-Nosed Gecko from South America (Sphaerodactylidae: Gekkota) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Sphaerodactyl geckos comprise five genera distributed across Central and South America and the Caribbean. We estimated phylogenetic relationships among sphaerodactyl genera using both separate and combined analyses of seven nuclear genes.

Associations of MC1R Substitutions With Body Color Variation in a Desert Lizard

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We successfully identified two amino acid substitutions (V165I and V237I) in MC1R that are significantly associated with body color variation between melanistic and non‐melanistic populations of a toad‐headed lizard, P. versicolor. In silico analysis revealed that both substitutions located in transmembrane (TM) domains affect the binding affinity ...

Vertebrate community composition and activity at giant otter latrines in the northern Pantanal

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mustelids and other terrestrial carnivores use communal latrines where feces and urine serve as olfactory cues for territory demarcation and intraspecific communication. These strong scent cues may also influence the broader vertebrate community, either acting as an attractant for species in search of food or as a warning of predator presence.
