ABSTRACT The Antarctic fairy shrimp (Branchinecta gaini) is the largest inland animal in Antarctica and a key component of its freshwater ecosystems. Despite its broad distribution, little is known about its population structure, habitat tolerance, and potential vulnerability to climate change. This study investigated the occurrence, genetic structure,

ABSTRACT Aim Tardigrades, commonly known as some of the toughest organisms on Earth, like many other microscopic invertebrates, are often overlooked in biodiversity monitoring. Our study aimed to elucidate the impact of environmental disturbance caused by anthropogenic activity on tardigrade diversity and distributions.

Fake Webs, Real Results: Artificial Spiderwebs for eDNA Collection
We designed artificial spiderwebs to see if they are as good as natural spiderwebs at capturing airborne DNA. In comparison to water eDNA methods, both natural and artificial spiderwebs revealed a distinct signature of terrestrial communities, while artificial webs served as a good proxy for natural webs ‐ without the negative impacts on spiders and ...

Macroecological and Biogeographic Patterns of Kinorhyncha in the Iberian Peninsula
ABSTRACT Aim Biogeography and macroecology aim to understand the processes that determine patterns in nature. In the marine environment, most of what we know has been documented for fish and macrobenthic organisms. As a result, this knowledge is negatively biased towards smaller benthic organisms, including meiofauna.
