A new species of Allostoma (Platyhelminthes, Prolecithophora) from the coast of Japan [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalThe genus Allostoma von Beneden, 1861 (Pseudostomidae Graff, 1904) consists of generally small, often conspicuously colored species. These organisms are typically found on hard bottoms, in gravel, or among algae in marine and brackish-water environments.

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.

Policládidos (Platyhelminthes: "Turbellaria") del Atlántico Tropical Occidental
Biota Colombiana, 2004 El phylum Platyhelminthes es considerado una ramificación ancestral dentro de los phyla bilaterales (Hyman 1951). A éste pertenecen gusanos acelomados y dorsoventralmente aplanados que carecen de sistemas circulatorio y respiratorio (Hyman 1951).
