New records of bats and terrestrial small mammals from the Seli River in Sierra Leone before the construction of a hydr…
Sierra Leone is situated at the western edge of the Upper Guinean Forests in West Africa, a recognised biodiversity hotspot which is increasingly threatened by habitat degradation…
Monogonot rotifers species of the island Cozumel, Quintana Roo, México
The current study adds 23 new records to the previously described monogonot rotifers of Cozumel, increasing the number of reported species to 40; these species are grouped into tw…
Bird diversity along riverine areas in the Bhagirathi Valley, Uttarakhand, India
Natural riverine areas mark ecotonal habitats harbouring a characteristically diverse faunal assemblage, especially birds that also use these habitats as pathways crucial for thei…
First record of Xestochironomus Sublette and Wirth, 1972 (Chironomidae: Chironominae) in the Mexican Nearctic with note…
We report the first record of Xestochironomus Sublette and Wirth, 1972 for the Mexican Nearctic. Larvae of Xestochironomus are known from the Neotropics and Nearctic regions. We r…
Distribution and diversity patterns of herpetofauna in the Pantabangan-Carranglan Watershed, Nueva Ecija, Caraballo Mou…
The recent extensive survey conducted in the Pantabangan-Carranglan Watershed, located in the Caraballo Mountain Range during the rainy season (October to November) resulted in th…
The highest altitudinal record of the Mountain coati Nasuella olivacea (Gray, 1865) for Ecuador
The Mountain coati Nasuella olivacea is a species of carnivorous mammal, several aspects of its ecology and natural history remain unknown. In Ecuador, its presence is reported in…
An interactive key to Central European species of the Pteromalus albipennis species group and other species of the genu…
Parasitoid wasps of the genus Pteromalus play an important role in biological pest control, however, the genus includes a large number of cryptic species, which makes reliable ide…
Evaluation of the population dynamics of microalgae isolated from the state of Chiapas, Mexico with respect to the nutr…
As Chiapas state, México, counts on an extensive hydrography with diverse nutrimental and climatic characteristics, it therefore allows isolating and identifying microalgae with b…
Composition and distribution of lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) on Colombian and Peruvian birds: New data on louse-host as…
The diversity of permanent ectoparasites is likely underestimated due to the difficulty of collecting samples. Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) are permanent ectoparasites of birds an…
The spider fauna from Uruguay River islands: understanding its role in a biological corridor
Biological corridors are connections which link habitats in a regional scale, allowing the gene flow between populations. The Uruguay River comprises riverside and insular riparia…
Effects of a recalcitrant understory fern layer in an enclosed tropical restoration experiment
Establishing mixed-species tree plantings and fencing them to protect seedlings from herbivory is a valuable strategy for reconnecting forest fragments separated by agropastoral l…
Micro-habitat and season dependent impact of the invasive Impatiens glandulifera on native vegetation
The impact of invasive species is often difficult to assess due to species × ecosystem interactions. Impatiens glandulifera heavily invaded several habitat types in Central Europe…
First insights into the molecular population structure and origins of the invasive Chinese sleeper, Perccottus glenii, …
The aim of our study was to provide a first overview of the population genetic structure of the invasive Chinese sleeper, Perccottus glenii, (Actinopterygii: Odontobutidae) in Eur…
Cryptic diversity and mtDNA phylogeography of the invasive demon shrimp, Dikerogammarus haemobaphes (Eichwald, 1841), i…
The regions of the Black, Caspian, and Azov seas are known for being both (i) the place of extensive crustacean radiation dated to the times of Paratethys and Sarmatian basins, an…
Do dense layers of invasive plants elevate the foraging intensity of small mammals in temperate deciduous forests? A ca…
Monospecific stands of invasive plants can dramatically restructure habitat for fauna, thereby elevating population densities or promoting foraging of consumer species who benefit…
Clonal growth strategies of Reynoutria japonica in response to light, shade, and mowing, and perspectives for management
Many of the most invasive plant species in the world can propagate clonally, suggesting clonality offers advantages that facilitate invasion. Gaining insights into the clonal grow…
Monitoring the silver carp invasion in Africa: a case study using environmental DNA (eDNA) in dangerous watersheds
Biodiverse habitats are increasingly subject to an intensification of anthropogenic stressors that may severely diminish species richness. Invasive species pose a dominant threat …
Emerging invasion threat of the liana Celastrus orbiculatus (Celastraceae) in Europe
The woody vine Celastrus orbiculatus (Celastraceae), Oriental bittersweet, is an alien species that recently has been found to be spreading in Europe. Many aspects of its biology …
Non-native spiders change assemblages of Hawaiian forest fragment kipuka over space and time
We assessed how assemblages of spiders were structured in small Hawaiian tropical forest fragments (Hawaiian, kipuka) within a matrix of previous lava flows, over both space (samp…
Context-dependent differences in the functional responses of conspecific native and non-native crayfishes
Invasive species are proliferating globally and cause a range of impacts, necessitating risk assessment and prioritization prior to management action. Experimentally derived estim…
Effects of osmotic and thermal shock on the invasive aquatic mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum: mortality and physiolog…
Invasive freshwater species, such as the exotic mollusc Potamopyrgus antipodarum (New Zealand mudsnail), can frequently survive under harsh conditions, including brackish and hypo…
Stuck amongst introduced species: Trophic ecology reveals complex relationships between the critically endangered Niau …
The introduction of mammals on oceanic islands currently threatens or has caused the extinction of many endemic species. Cats and rats represent the major threat for 40 % of curre…
A preliminary field trial to compare control techniques for invasive Berberis aquifolium in Belgian coastal dunes
