Seasonal Dynamics of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Community Assembly in a Subtropical Monsoon-Driven Mountain Stream. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study examines how seasonal hydrological variations influence macroinvertebrate community assembly in the Huishui River using the EMS framework and variation partitioning analysis. The findings reveal that dispersal processes dominate during high‐flow monsoon periods, environmental filtering prevails in drought phases, and both processes ...

Recovery and Degradation Drive Changes in the Dispersal Capacity of Stream Macroinvertebrate Communities. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolFreshwater ecosystems across Europe are recovering unevenly despite restoration efforts, partly due to the limited ability of many species to disperse. Using a dataset of over 1300 time series, we found that improved ecological quality often leads to gains in macroinvertebrate species with strong dispersal capacities, while degrading sites lose these ...

The Influence of Native Deer on Forest Fauna-A Systematic Map. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDeer are key drivers of faunal communities in temperate and boreal forest ecosystems. In this systematic map, we review the current literature assessing the effects of native deer on abundance, species richness, and diversity of forest‐dwelling faunal taxa.

The Core of the Matter-Importance of Identification Method and Biological Replication for Benthic Marine Monitoring. [PDF]
Ecol EvolBenthic macrofauna are important and widely used biological indicators of marine ecosystems as they have limited mobility and therefore integrate the effects of local environmental stressors over time. We here compare environmental DNA metabarcoding obtained from sediments with conventional morphological identification of benthic macrofauna.

Ameliorating Effect of Chloride on Nitrite Toxicity to Freshwater Invertebrates with Different Physiology: a Comparative Study Between Amphipods and Planarians [PDF]
, 2008 High nitrite concentrations in freshwater ecosystems may cause toxicity to aquatic animals. These living organisms can take nitrite up from water through their chloride cells, subsequently suffering oxidation of their respiratory pigments (hemoglobin ...

TURBELLARIA FROM SOMALIA [PDF]
Monitore Zoologico Italiano. Supplemento, 1982 SUMMARY The genus Pseudomonocelis Meixner, 1943 is treated in a monographic way, with the provisory re-introduction of P. agilis (Schulze, 1851). A comprehensive description of all representatives of the genus is given, including two new species from the neighbourhood of Mogadiscio, Somalia, P. pardii and P. cavernicola.

Do Not Lose Your Head over the Unequal Regeneration Capacity in Prolecithophoran Flatworms
Biology, 2022 One of the central questions in studying the evolution of regeneration in flatworms remains whether the ancestral flatworm was able to regenerate all body parts, including the head.
