Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Isopod holobionts as promising models for lignocellulose degradation

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020
Background Isopods have colonized all environments, partly thanks to their ability to decompose the organic matter. Their enzymatic repertoire, as well as the one of their associated microbiota, has contributed to their colonization success.

Tidal reinstatement of coastal wetlands: a global review

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
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 NaHCO3 Alkalinity Stress on Micropterus salmoides

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT To provide guidance for the actual cultivation of Micropterus salmoides in saline alkali environment, the effects of NaHCO3 alkalinity stress on enzymatic activity, tissue structure and gut microbiota were investigated. The experimental groups consisted of Group 1 (no NaHCO3 added), Group 2 (10 mmol/L NaHCO3 alkalinity) and Group 3 (30 mmol/L ...

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Sediments Containing Platinum and Palladium on Freshwater Benthic Organisms Chironomus riparius and Hyalella azteca

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 1151-1163, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The expanding demand for platinum group elements (PGEs) in industrial and medical applications has led to their increasing accumulation in aquatic sediments. However, their ecological impacts remain poorly understood, particularly for sediment‐dwelling invertebrates. This study assessed the toxicity of platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) across a

The Transpiration of Terrestrial Isopods [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1955
ABSTRACT The transpiration of three species of Isopoda has been investigated ; Armadillidium shows the highest resistance to desiccation, Oniscus the least, and Porcellio is intermediate. The permeability of isopod cuticle is limited by lipoids which impregnate the endocuticle.

Methane‐Derived Carbon Contributes to Fish Biomass in a Deep, Eutrophic Reservoir

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Methanotrophic bacteria oxidise large amounts of biogenic methane produced in freshwater and bind the original methane carbon in their biomass. When these bacteria are consumed by other organisms, methane‐derived carbon enters food webs. Methane‐derived carbon can support a substantial part of invertebrate biomass in some freshwater ecosystems.

“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.

Disentangling the effects of multifunctional forestry practices on the abundances of birds and their invertebrate prey

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract European forests are increasingly managed to harmonize production goals with biodiversity conservation, through practices such as retention and close‐to‐nature forestry. Forest birds may benefit from these practices, but it remains unclear how the effects of different management practices compare, and whether responses to management are driven

Working 9 to 5: Diurnal Variability in Terrestrial Invertebrate Activity Does Not Compromise Ecosystem Health Assessments in Dry Stream Channels

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 676-688, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Temporary streams are impacted by climate change and other anthropogenic pressures, but fluctuating water levels complicate ecological assessments. Terrestrial invertebrate communities may enable dry‐phase assessments, but their sampling can be resource intensive.
