Field Survey of Freshwater Invertebrates Reveals That Several Groups Are Potential Carriers of the Fungal Pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The amphibian disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has devastated global amphibian biodiversity. The specific reasons for its rapid global spread, especially to pristine areas, are not well understood. Freshwater invertebrates might function as carriers of Bd, but the diversity and extent

Abiotic drivers of co‐occurrence and diversity patterns of Calopterygidae species in Amazonian protected freshwaters

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 235-249, April 2026.
Species co‐occurrences rely on their ability to explore similar or distinct available resources, and possible niche overlap can prevent their presence and establishment in a given site Damselflies of the Calopterygidae family demonstrated negative co‐occurrences in streams inside and outside PAs, highlighting that their ecological similarity is ...

Inconsistent effects of P enrichment and predator presence on food‐web dynamics in a bromeliad system

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Food webs consist of trophic interactions of variable strength. However, it remains challenging to predict how changes in environmental conditions, such as nutrient enrichment, can affect these interactions. In this paper, we propose to integrate food web theory with ecological stoichiometry, which predicts how elemental ratios affect trophic ...

Forest Loss Influences Biomass Distribution Across Trophic Groups of Amazonian Stream Insects

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Changes in resource availability caused by deforestation can negatively impact freshwater ecosystems, with implications for trophic chains. We investigated both the direct and indirect effects of forest cover and allochthonous resource availability on the biomass distribution of larvae of aquatic insects (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera

Integrating eDNA and community science to monitor urban Odonata diversity

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 84-92, January 2026.
Environmental DNA captured rare and underrepresented taxa often missed by community science observations. Community science revealed adult‐stage observations across a broader temporal window. Integrating both methods improved detection across life stages, seasons, and species prevalence.

Similar Survival Rates of Territorial and Sneaker Males in a Polymorphic Damselfly: A Multi‐Year Study

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Male Mnais damselflies occur in two genetically controlled morphs: an orange‐winged territorial morph that defends oviposition sites and actively courts females and a co‐occurring clear‐winged sneaker morph that does not defend territories or display, yet mates opportunistically with females.

Fish predation cues induce drifting and emergence in an experimental stream mesocosm system

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S364-S376, December 2025.
Abstract Predator–prey interactions are important drivers of adaptation in aquatic communities, shaping the behavior of invertebrates with cascading effects on community dynamics. Behavioral responses, such as moving with the downstream current (drift) or altering the timing of emergence, are strategies that reduce the risk of predator encounters ...
