Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We report the first record of a non‐native hermatypic coral in Venezuela, exhibiting biological traits characteristic of invasive species. The coral is a member of the genus Acropora (Scleractinia: Acroporidae), native to the Indo‐Pacific. This non‐native petrous coral occurred in a reef of the Morrocoy National Park, in the southern Caribbean.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim We reconstructed the biogeographic history of Pappophorinae and tested whether the evolution of awns is associated with differences in species' geographic ranges. Location Americas. Time Period Miocene. Major Taxa Studies Pappophorinae (Poaceae: Chloridoideae).

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 3, February 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding gene flow between ploidy levels in polyploid complexes is essential for species delimitation and conservation. This study explores evolutionary dynamics in the polyploid complex Thymus sect. Mastichina (Lamiaceae), comprising three taxa: T. mastichina subsp. mastichina, T. mastichina subsp.

Frog Diversity in Central Amazonian Macrophyte Beds: The Role of Local Environmental Gradients
Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Ecological assemblages can be shaped by neutral, niche‐based processes, or a combination of both. Understanding the influence of these processes and evaluating diversity measures based on taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic metrics on the structure of ecological assemblages can show patterns and unravel community assembly mechanisms ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1502-1512, December 2025.ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.Abstract The large genus Campylocheta Rondani, 1859, comprising 48 species, occurs in all major biogeographical regions of the world, except Antarctica. Homohypochaeta Townsend, 1927 and Hypochaetopsis Townsend, 1915 are two Neotropical genera similar to Campylocheta, with only two and one species respectively.

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.Abstract Among the Aleocharinae rove beetles, the tribe Athetini is one of the most diverse and morphologically poorly delimited, obviously non‐monophyletic groups, with approximately 4000 described species. Despite overlapping morphological diagnoses of Athetini and other tribes such as Oxypodini, as well as many poorly delimited genera in Athetini ...

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT In the first study on Neogoniolithon species for the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean, based on both molecular (COI‐5P, psbA and SSU rDNA) and morpho‐anatomical data, three taxa were identified for the Brazilian coast, including two new species. DNA‐based species delimitation methods distinguished Neogoniolithon crypticum sp. nov.

Quantifying exposure of amphibian species to heat waves, cold spells, and droughts
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract Globally, amphibians face severe threats, such as climate change and associated extreme events. Our goal was to quantify global amphibian exposure to 3 classes of extreme events: heat waves, cold spells, and droughts. We used the MERRA‐2 extreme climate events data and the standardized precipitation–evapotranspiration index database to ...
