Human pressure, habitat heterogeneity and species traits jointly determine the level of dark diversity in coastal fish communities

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...

Continental scale metagenomics reveals Microcystis‐induced synchrony among aquatic taxa is exacerbated by trophic cascades

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Harmful Microcystis proliferation severely threatens aquatic ecosystems globally, but its impacts on food‐web stability remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 1309 metagenomic samples from freshwater ecosystems across China to investigate how Microcystis abundance affects synchrony among taxa in multi‐trophic food webs (from bacteriophages to ...

Thermal niche breadth shapes regional elevational range sizes of tropical‐like mountain stream insects: evidence for Janzen's tropical mountain passes hypothesis

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The core of Janzen's tropical mountain passes hypothesis is that relatively stable annual temperature variation limits species' thermal tolerances breadth, which, in combination with steep elevational temperature gradients, constrains the elevational distributions of these species. In addition to thermal niche breadth, elevational ranges were shaped by

Wolves and humans both shape patterns of deer browsing in a temperate forest ecosystem of Central Europe

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions can trigger behavioural responses in ungulates, influencing their space‐use and foraging behaviour and, in turn, indirectly affecting browsing pressure. Changes in browsing pressure can affect plant recruitment and species composition, shaping forest regeneration through predator‐mediated trophic cascades.

Rethinking Environmental Impact Assessment for nature positive development

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Achieving “nature positive” development within existing regulatory frameworks will be challenging. Halting and reversing biodiversity loss requires protection, restoration, and enhancement of ecosystems alongside a fundamental shift in how biodiversity is valued and quantifiable improvements are assessed.

Molecular Palaeontology Prospects From Exceptionally Preserved Eocene Brackish‐Water Bivalve Batissa sitakaraensis (Venerida: Corbiculidae) From Hokkaido, Japan

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
This study reports the exceptional preservation of the Eocene freshwater bivalve Batissa sitakaraensis from Hokkaido, Japan. Multimodal analyses reveal that both the aragonitic shell mineralogy and the delicate organic periostracum retain their original structural and chemical characteristics after millions of years.
