ABSTRACT Using pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) as a model species, we investigated the factors influencing fluctuations in the abundance of piscivorous intra‐annual cohorts and assessed the role of three distinct cohorts: extremely small (ES), ordinary (or mid‐sized) fingerlings, and piscivorous in shaping year‐class strength.

The Biodiversity of Retreating Glaciers Leaves an Ecological Legacy in Emerging Soil Communities
We provide the first multi‐taxa assessment of biodiversity transitions across the supraglacial‐proglacial interface, using eDNA metabarcoding across five glacier systems. Recently deglaciated soils resemble supraglacial communities taxonomically and functionally, markedly for microbes and weakly for animals, with microbial similarity declining rapidly ...

Terrestrial Arthropod Responses to Arctic Cryosphere Degradation
Changes in Arctic snow and ice are impacting terrestrial arthropods—for example, thinner snowpacks alter phenological synchrony and soil fauna survival; thawing permafrost increases decomposition, and glacial ice loss leads to the disappearance of adapted specialists; sea ice decline will have many indirect impacts for arthropods.

La mayoría de estudios ecológicos del zooplancton se han realizado en aguas abiertas. No obstante, es importante ampliar la exploración hacia hábitats como el de las macrófitas. En este estudio se evaluó la variación espacio-temporal de la estructura del

Rotifera of the Peruvian Andes: New Records and Insights
The Rotifera fauna of the Peruvian Andes remains significantly understudied, as evidenced by our findings from a limited sampling effort of 18 locations (15 samples from the Cusco region and three samples from Lake Titicaca). We identified 12 Monogononta

UV-irradiated rotifers for the maintenance of gnotobiotic zebrafish larvae
Host-associated microbial communities profoundly impact the health of humans and other animals. Zebrafish have proven to be a useful model for uncovering mechanisms of host-microbe interactions, but the difficulty of maintaining germ-free or gnotobiotic ...
