Salt in the Wound: Assessing Pathogen Susceptibility in Amphibian Populations Across a Gradient of Salt Pollution

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The survival function of nine larval wood frog populations and their viral loads when exposed to FV3. The populations were collected as eggs from a range of salt‐polluted ponds. Viral load data are means ±1 SE. The populations are ordered in terms of the saltiness of their natal ponds.

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

A systematic review evaluating the performance of eDNA methods relative to conventional methods for biodiversity monitoring

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
The rapid adoption of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods has drastically changed biodiversity monitoring efforts. It is often claimed that eDNA methods are more sensitive and efficient than conventional biodiversity monitoring methods, but it is often unclear what metrics support this claim.

Comparative Assessment of Freshwater Biodiversity in Los Morales Reservoir (Madrid) Using eDNA Collected From Sponges and Water Filtration

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Filters and freshwater sponge tissue recover a comparable number of taxa through eDNA metabarcoding. Filters detect more taxa, followed by sponge tissue when host‐blocking primers are used. Each method reveals different community compositions, so combining both approaches is recommended to achieve a more realistic representation of the metazoan ...

Migration rate, timing of sex, and resident genetic diversity jointly shape effective gene flow during rotifer colonization

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Dispersal is a complex process that affects all living organisms, with the settlement phase being particularly critical. This phase depends on the interaction between the environmental conditions of the new habitat and the biological traits of both resident and immigrant populations.
