Variable species establishment in response to microhabitat indicates different likelihoods of climate‐driven range shifts

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is causing geographic range shifts globally, and understanding the factors that influence species' range expansions is crucial for predicting future biodiversity changes. A common, yet untested, assumption in forecasting approaches is that species will shift beyond current range edges into new habitats as they become macroclimatically ...

Lagged climate‐driven range shifts at species' leading, but not trailing, range edges revealed by multispecies seed addition experiment

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is causing many species' ranges to shift upslope to higher elevations as species track their climatic requirements. However, many species have not shifted in pace with recent warming (i.e. ‘range stasis'), possibly due to demographic lags or microclimatic buffering.

The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Vascular plant diversity in Swedish road verges of high conservation value is threatened by the invasive alien herb Lupinus polyphyllus Lindley

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Road verges can be important habitats for vascular plant communities and the organisms that, in turn, depend on them. However, the plant diversity in Swedish road verges is threatened by the invasive perennial plant Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of L.

Continuous Stem Water Potential Measurements With Microtensiometry Reveal Species Identity and Soil Matric Potential Control of Stem Water Potential in Temperate Forests

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Water potential gradients govern water fluxes, and plants respond with species‐specific hydraulic traits that influence ecosystem function. While understanding these traits is key to predicting vegetation responses to climate change, traditional methods like the pressure chamber limit temporal resolution and continuity.

DNA extraction from sea anemone (Cnidaria: Actiniaria) tissues for molecular analyses

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2000
A specific DNA extraction method for sea anemones is described in which extraction of total DNA from eight species of sea anemones and one species of corallimorpharian was achieved by changing the standard extraction protocols.

Developing ocean literacy through a relational model: Exploring outcomes of a place‐based ocean education programme in primary schools

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 904-918, April 2026.
Abstract Schools are a common place where the younger generation can develop their understanding of the ocean and acquire the skills needed to become responsible and knowledgeable ocean advocates. Grounded in a relational ocean literacy model, this study examined outcomes of a place‐based programme integrating picture books, beach excursions and ...

Transcriptomics of the Anthopleura Sea Anemone Reveals Unique Adaptive Strategies to Shallow‐Water Hydrothermal Vent

Ecology and Evolution
The nonsymbiotic sea anemone Anthopleura nigrescens dominates the shallow‐water hydrothermal vents off the coast of Kueishan Island, Taiwan. These vents represent some of the world's most extreme environments, with recorded pH values as low as 1.52 and ...

The proteotranscriptomic characterization of venom in the white seafan Eunicella singularis elucidates the evolution of Octocorallia arsenal

Open Biology
All the members of the phylum Cnidaria are characterized by the production of venom in specialized structures, the nematocysts. Venom of jellyfish (Medusozoa) and sea anemones (Anthozoa) has been investigated since the 1970s, revealing a remarkable ...
