Disentangling mechanisms that mediate soil fungal α and β diversity during forest secondary succession

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity is a central, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology. Although species pools and local assembly processes are believed to play non‐negligible roles in shaping the within‐community (α) and among‐community (β) diversity of microbial communities, their relative importance as ...

Relationship between the environment and the occurrence of invasive pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus in lotic and lentic habitats

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus is a freshwater fish species native to North America. It has been introduced to Europe, where it is recognized as one of the worst aquatic invaders due to its high adaptability and invasive potential. This study aimed to determine the presence of L. gibbosus in small to medium‐sized water bodies, both lotic and

Partial nocturnal behaviour of giant mottled eels, Anguilla marmorata, in a small river, Amami‐Oshima Island, Japan, from acoustic telemetry

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anguillid eels typically exhibit nocturnal behaviour, but giant mottled eels A. marmorata are often observed during daytime in rivers on Amami‐Oshima Island, Japan. We investigated their diel activity patterns and spatial use with stationary‐receiver acoustic telemetry.
