Restoration tools and strategies for afforested Mediterranean coastal grasslands: is eucalypt removal alone enough to kickstart ecosystem recovery?

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation with non‐native trees has profoundly altered coastal dune grasslands worldwide, creating persistent ecological legacies that constrain ecosystem recovery. Objectives We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of two restoration approaches, distinguished by their respective demands for resource investment: Moderately ...

Assessment of a soil with moderate level of contamination using lettuce seed assay and terrestrial isopods assimilation assay

Soil and Water Research, 2013
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seeds play a significant role in toxicity tests of isolated chemicals, pesticides, and environmental samples. Commonly, the main variables under study are the rate of seed germination and root elongation at the end of five days ...

Effects of Pristine and Aged LDPE and PP Microplastic Leachates on Behavioural Responses of the Soil Arthropods Folsomia candida and Porcellionides pruinosus

Toxics
This study investigated the behavioural responses of the arthropods Folsomia candida (springtails) and Porcellionides pruinosus (woodlice) to leachates released from additive-free plastic polymers.

Investigations on the potential of woodlice as bioindicators of grassland habitat quality

, 2005
International audienceAs intensive land-use practices may reduce available leaf litter, woodlice-important decomposers of leaf litter-may show a loss of biomass and a decrease in number of species.

Woodlice and millipedes in small forest fragments in Europe: Possible implications for litter decomposition.

, 2015
International audienceArthropods play a crucial role in the decomposition of organic matter. Soil macrofauna, such as wood lice, earthworms and millipedes, represent the first step in the process of litter decomposition on forest floors.

A Novel Crustavirus as a Candidate Aetiology of Tail Fan Necrosis in New Zealand Red Rock Lobsters, Jasus edwardsii

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Tail fan necrosis (TFN) is a shell disease affecting spiny lobsters' outer integument, with significant implications for the health and commercial viability of red rock lobsters (Jasus edwardsii) in New Zealand. Despite its impact, the potential role of a microbial agent in TFN remains poorly understood.

Distribution pattern of Armadillidae species (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) on the Izu Islands, Japan

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity
Faunal studies of oceanic islands provide unique opportunities to study ecology and evolution. Four Armadillidae taxa were recorded from the Izu Islands, a group of oceanic islands off the coast of Japan.

Tag attachment reduces the initiation of recruitment in the rock ant, Temnothorax rugatulus

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Tags did not significantly affect feeder visitation. In contrast, recruitment behaviour differed significantly, with tagged ants being less likely to engage in tandem runs than formerly tagged ants. Abstract Technological advances continue to push the boundaries of scientific inquiry in animal behaviour.
