Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change
Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 274-284, June 2026.Crayfish are a vital part of freshwater ecosystems, yet one third of assessed species are threatened with extinction, and almost 90% are highly sensitive to climate change. In this study, we produced a phylogenetically‐informed species prioritisation for crayfish conservation and explored the impacts of projected climate change scenarios on crayfish ...

Update on the distribution of freshwater crayfish in Croatia
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2011 Four indigenous European and two non-indigenous American freshwater crayfish species inhabit Croatian freshwater habitats. Generally, the noble crayfish (Astacus astacus), the narrow-clawed crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus) and the stone crayfish ...

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.We describe a collaborative, multi‐partner, multi‐objective structured decision making process to develop a range‐wide conservation planning framework to recover an at‐risk species—the gopher frog. The process identified optimal, site‐specific management strategies that balanced population outcomes and cost, depending on the weight decision makers ...

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.Mediterranean ecosystems face complex, multi‐trophic impacts from global‐change drivers, yet responses are often studied in isolation. Using the Doñana Protected Area as a case study, we illustrate how anthropogenic pressures on key species like cork oaks and rabbits, as well as increases in species like wild boar and invasive crayfish, lead to ...

Flooding affects fluctuating asymmetry but not growth of a riparian orbweaving spider
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 547-557, June 2026.In a mesocosm experiment we assessed the impact of flood on aquatic insect emergence and on spider development using geometric morphometric analysis of fluctuating asymmetry. We observed 45% higher emergence in flooded mesocosm throughout the season. Spiders did not grow bigger but exhibited ~15% lower fluctuating asymmetry than in controls.

Cost of parasite exposure depends on host ontogeny 寄生接觸的代價依賴於宿主發育階段
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 592-603, June 2026.The cost of parasite exposure varies across host developmental stages, demonstrating that ontogeny influences the expression of non‐consumptive effects (NCEs). Mite exposure resulted in consumptive effects in fly eggs and NCEs in early‐stage pupae; mite longevity was comparable when provisioned with pupae or water but increased when provisioned with ...

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Saprolegniosis, also known as water mould, is a lethal disease caused by Saprolegnia oomycetes that threatens freshwater animals including fish, amphibians, and crustaceans, as well as aquaculture. It causes biodiversity loss and population declines, including those of endangered fishes.

Native and Non‐Native Populations Respond Unevenly to River Barrier Removals
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.While barrier removals restore river connectivity and promote recovery of native populations, they may also facilitate non‐native species, creating a ‘connectivity conundrum’. Using a systematic review and meta‐analysis, we show that both native and non‐native populations can benefit from barrier removal, with outcomes being context‐dependent ...

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.Illustration of key knowledge gaps and pathways linking fire ecology and freshwater ecosystems. Climate change provides the overarching context, interacting with cumulative and cross‐scale effects to shape local freshwater conditions. Within this context, fire characteristics influence three primary pathways within freshwater ecosystems: species and ...

Emerging Encapsulation Strategies for Probiotics and Prebiotics
Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 6, June 2026.This review highlights emerging encapsulation strategies that enhance the stability, targeted delivery, and integration of probiotics into functional foods. Advanced systems, including nanofibers, single‐cell coatings, multilayer carriers, and AI‐assisted design, demonstrate enhanced gastrointestinal resistance and scalability, guiding the development ...
