Species traits may predict extinction risk of Azorean endemic arthropods
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 545-551, July 2025.Ground‐dwelling endemic arthropods face a higher extinction risk due to habitat degradation and invasive plants. Canopy species may seem less threatened but still face extinction risks from habitat fragmentation. Body size and trophic group did not predict species threat levels.

Two new species of Sinacroneuria Yang & Yang, 1995 (Plecoptera: Perlidae) from China
European Journal of TaxonomyTwo new species of the stonefly genus Sinacroneuria, S. aequalis sp. nov. and S. transversa sp. nov., are described and illustrated from the Fujian and Zhejiang provinces of China. These new taxa are compared with related congeners.

The vulnerability of British aquatic insects to climate change
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2022 Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from climate change due to the intrinsic link between the physical properties of the water environment and those species that live there. Mayflies, stoneflies and caddisflies are key indicators of the health

Active predators do not necessarily specialize in sedentary prey: A simulation model
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1549, Issue 1, Page 199-207, July 2025.Active predators, which move to find food, are assumed to specialize in sedentary prey. This study used an individual‐based simulation to test whether this assumption holds. The results show that active predators do not always specialize in sedentary prey; instead, prey choice greatly depends on prey spatial pattern and competition with ambush ...

Aquatic habitat response to small dam removal demonstrates recovery in three years
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract Dams disrupt river networks by interrupting longitudinal transport of sediment and nutrients and obstructing the movement of aquatic organisms. Increasingly, water resource managers are looking for dam removal as a solution to restore connectivity and improve aquatic habitats, water quality, and fish passage.

What Are the Phylogenetic Limits to Pollinator Diversity?
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 5, Page 697-703, June 2025.ABSTRACT Although huge progress has been made over the past 200 years in identifying the diversity of pollinators of angiosperms and other plants, new discoveries continue to be made each year, especially in tropical areas and in the fossil record. In this perspective article I address the following questions: Just how diverse are the pollinators and ...

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 1876-1888, June 2025.Abstract The tidal freshwater zone is an aquatic transition zone that links a river to its estuary and provides an important habitat used in the life cycle of resident and migratory fishes. Yet, information on the trophic structure of fishes in this habitat is scarce. To address this gap, we characterize the trophic structure of a fish community in the
