Habitat structure and zonation patterns of northwestern Mediterranean shoreline strands

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2017
We studied the habitat structure (macrofaunal assemblages and bottom types) and zonation patterns of 29 unvegetated shoreline strands along the 900-km coast of Catalonia (NW Mediterranean Sea).

ANAPERUS TRIFURCATUS (BELTAGI, S. 1983) 1ST RECORD ACOELAN TURBELLARIA, COLLECTED FROM BITTER LAKES SUEZ CANAL – EGYPT [PDF]

open access: yesDelta Journal of Science, 2013
An acoelan turbellaria “Anaperus trifurcatus” are collected for the first time, from the saltwaters of the Bitter lakes of the Suez Canal – Egypt, as the ecological parameters are nearlysimilar to that existing in shallow sea water of Ghardaqa in the Red

Occurrence, Abundance, and Diversity of Gill Fouling Organisms in Snow Crab, Chionoecetes opilio (O. Fabricius, 1788), (Decapoda, Brachyura, and Oregoniidae) in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean, Canada

open access: yesInternational Journal of Zoology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Gill fouling organisms (GFO) in snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) were identified and grouped into 10 taxons, representing 7 phyla. An unknown harpacticoid copepod species (Coullia sp.) was described and the presence of a kinorhyncha species (Echinoderes sp.) was first observed.

An overview of stygobiontic invertebrates of Poland based on published data

open access: yesSubterranean Biology, 2017
Based on published literature, at least eighty species of stygobiontic invertebrates are confirmed in Poland. The highest number of these species is found in interstitial waters and wells, while a lower number was discovered in caves and springs ...

Removing invasive stream macrofauna shifts nontarget invertebrate mesofauna through facilitation

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Positive interactions among non‐native species can drive invasional meltdowns to the detriment of native biota. Here, we assessed whether targeted control of aquatic invasive species (AIS) can benefit native species by eliminating synergies among invaders.

Prolonged low flows and non‐native fish operate additively to alter insect emergence in mountain streams

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S377-S391, December 2025.
Abstract Climate‐induced flow alteration is decreasing snowpack and advancing snowmelt, subjecting mountain streams to longer low‐flow periods. Yet, anticipating how stream ecosystems respond to prolonged low flows remains challenging because distinct trophic levels can respond differently, and non‐native predators can dampen or amplify responses. Here,

Far From Roads, Challenges Arise: Unravelling Knowledge Gaps in the Occurrence of Cave‐Restricted Species on the African Continent

open access: yesAfrican 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 ...
