From kelp forests to turf reefs: Patterns, drivers, and impacts to functional diversity

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Kelp forests are declining in many regions due to ocean warming, predator loss, and other anthropogenic stressors. In areas of rapid ocean warming, including the southern Gulf of Maine, these ecosystems have transitioned to a novel state dominated by low‐lying mats of turf algae.

“Protracheoniscus vasileradui” – n. sp. (Crustacea, Isopoda, Crinochaeta) in the Romanian fauna

Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai. Biologia, 2018
We describe the terrestrial isopod species Protracheoniscus vasileradui n. sp. collected from the deciduous forest in the Liuborajdea Valley, Iron Gates (Porţile de Fier) area. We named it Protracheoniscus vasileradui n.sp., in the memory of Prof. V. Gh.

Trophic Niche Overlap Between the Invasive Crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii (Gould, 1841) and Native Crab Species in the Southwest Atlantic Coast

Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The introduction of exotic species is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss in aquatic ecosystems. The Harris mud crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii, native to the Atlantic coast of North America, was recorded in the Patos Lagoon estuary (southern Brazil) in the 1980s, likely introduced via ballast water. However, the effects of this invader

Urbanization Shapes Dietary Composition and Snout Morphology of Salamanders

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanization rapidly alters landscapes, generating habitat mosaics characterized by increased impervious surface, reduced soil moisture and diminished vegetation cover. These recurring urban environmental features are expected to reduce community diversity, favouring urban‐tolerant species, thereby promoting urban biotic homogenization ...

Toxicity of the organophosphorous insecticide chlormephos to the earthworm Eisenia andrei and the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber

Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2009
In the present study we determined the toxicity of chlormephos to two common soil organisms – earthworms (Eisenia andrei) and isopods(Porcellio scaber) using Lufa 2.2 soil.

Tidal reinstatement of coastal wetlands: a global review

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Coastal wetland restoration is a global priority due to its critical role in enhancing climate resilience and biodiversity. Tidal reinstatement, through the removal or modification of tidal barriers, is a promising method to restore these ecosystems.

Effects of terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea) on leaf litter decomposition processes

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2015
The leaf litter decomposition is carried out by the combined action of microorganisms and decomposer invertebrates such as earthworms, diplopods and isopods. The present work aimed to evaluate the impact of terrestrial isopod on leaf litter decomposition
