African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.ABSTRACT Understanding patterns of biodiversity distribution is fundamental for ecology, biogeography, and conservation. However, persistent challenges arise from the inaccessibility of many regions and habitats. Subterranean environments, in particular, host highly distinctive and specialised faunal assemblages, yet their investigation is hindered by ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 686-698, March 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Amphibians are particularly sensitive to rapid climatic shifts, due to their eco‐physiology, life history traits and high frequency of narrowly distributed species. The genus Speleomantes encompasses the only extant Western Palearctic plethodontids, with three species occurring in peninsular Italy and the remaining five endemic to Sardinia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.We conducted a transcriptome analysis on the cave‐dwelling land leech Sinospelaeobdella wulingensis. Piezos, TRPs, and iGluRs may have roles in mechanosensory and chemosensory systems of this leech. Similar gene expression profiles in winter and summer samples imply a stable physiological status of S.

Distribution pattern and driving factors of mite communities in karst cave ecosystems
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.Mites are abundant invertebrates in underground ecosystems, influenced by resource and environmental diversity, but the diversity of cave mites remains unclear. Through a survey of soil mites in three typical areas of light intensity in caves and their adjacent environments outside the caves, we found that although there are significant differences in ...
