Performance Implications of Divergent Shell Size Preferences and Exoskeleton Mass of Two Closely Related Hermit Crabs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Two co‐occurring species of hermit crabs use very different shell sizes, one species using shells that are too small to accommodate all the carapace or claws. The two crab species were found to have diverged in their adaptations to their environment: one species adopting a suite of traits, including the use of large shells, that enhance protection from

Shore grykes and tidepool-like morphologies along the western Istrian coast. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We provided new data on topography, morphology and physical/chemical parameters (pH, T, etc) collected in several tidepool-like morphologies along the Northwestern Istrian coast, between Savudrija (Salvore) and Zambratija (Zambrattia). 6 transects, each

Micro‐Refuges or Ecological Traps: Context‐Dependent Effects of Rock Pools on Intertidal Biodiversity Across Latitudes

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We investigated how local‐scale environmental heterogeneity influences biodiversity patterns across broad biogeographic gradients, using intertidal microhabitats as a model system within one of the most environmentally stressful ecosystems on Earth.

Quantifying fish‐derived nutrient hotspots across reefscapes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 143-156, January 2026.
We show how reef structural complexity at multiple scales shapes fish‐driven nutrient hotspots and benthic enrichment. By identifying thresholds in relief and fine‐scale complexity, our study reveals when and where nutrient hotspots may form on coral reefs, offering practical guidance for coral reef restoration and ecosystem management.

A systematic literature review and meta‐analysis of real‐world evidence on commercially available automated insulin delivery systems in people with type 1 diabetes

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue S1, Page 13-34, January 2026.
Abstract Aims Automated insulin delivery (AID) is part of the standard of care for type 1 diabetes (T1D), but real‐world evidence (RWE) comparing AID systems remains limited. A systematic review and meta‐analysis was conducted for outcomes across commercially available AID systems in real‐world settings.

Spatial dynamics of animal‐mediated nutrients in temperate waters

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 12, Page 3650-3662, December 2025.
Abstract Consumer‐mediated nutrient dynamics (CND), through which animals' metabolic waste products fertilize primary producers, drive variability in nutrient availability in tropical waters. This variability influences primary productivity and community functioning.

Handheld photogrammetry advances capabilities to systematically characterize broken‐rock habitat

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 4, December 2025.
We developed a novel workflow using handheld photogrammetry to map and quantify fine‐scale habitat characteristics in broken‐rock patches, enabling detailed assessment of structurally complex habitats. Using structure‐from‐motion and image segmentation techniques, we generated high‐resolution digital elevation models and orthomosaics to classify cover ...

3D Genome Constrains Breakpoints of Inversions That Can Act as Barriers to Gene Flow in the Stickleback

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 21, November 2025.
ABSTRACT DNA within the nucleus is organised into a well‐regulated three‐dimensional (3D) structure. However, how such 3D genome structures influence speciation processes remains largely elusive. Recent studies have shown that 3D genome structures influence mutation rates, including the occurrence of chromosomal rearrangement.

Refuge trifecta: intertidal gastropods use pits to escape heat, wave action and predation

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.
Refuges play a critical role in ecology and evolution. In hard intertidal shores, small pits attract benthic invertebrates such as gastropods, however, there exists little mechanistic understanding of the processes driving the active usage of these microhabitat features. We conducted a series of laboratory experiments to assess whether the marine snail
