Habitat preference and diversification rates in a speciose lineage of diving beetles
(Elsevier, 2021)
The long-term geological stability of aquatic habitats has been demonstrated to be a determinant in the evolution of macroinvertebrate fauna, with species in running (lotic) waters having lower dispersal abilities, smaller ...

Impact of natural degradation of the invasive alga Rugulopteryx okamurae on anaerobic digestion: Heavy metal pollution and kinetic performance
(Elsevier, 2023-07)
This study shows, for the first time, how the natural biodegradation of the Phaeophyceae Rugulopteryx okamurae (R.o.) affects its methane yield, by biochemical methane potential assays, and the methane production kinetics. ...

Lack of congruence between fundamental and realised aridity niche in a lineage of water beetles
(Wiley, 2022)
Coping with aridity is a physiological challenge for all organisms, including freshwater ones. Aridity shapes distributions of aquatic species at fine and large geographical scales. Specifically, for aquatic beetles, the ...

Effects of climate change on the distribution of threatened invertebrates in a Mediterranean hotspot
(Wiley, 2022)
1. The effects of climate change may constitute a major threat factor for endemic and threatened species of invertebrates. A particularly dramatic case can be found in the Iberian Peninsula, because of its high rate of ...

Influence of environmental factors and sessile biota on vagile epibionts: the case of amphipods in marinas across a regional scale
(Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, 2022)
Marinas are highly anthropized environments, with singular ecological characteristics. In the present study the spatial vari-ability of the amphipod assemblage associated to floating pontoons was analyzed. Moreover, the ...

Livin' on the edge: reducing infanticide risk by maintaining proximity to potentially less infanticidal males
(Elsevier, 2024-02-13)
Infanticide is a significant evolutionary force influencing carnivore behaviours, as it is one of the primary contributors to offspring mortality. Female multimale mating, which creates paternal uncertainty, is known to ...

Thermal biology of aquatic insects in alpine lakes: Insights from diving beetles
(Wiley, 2023-10-21)
High mountain areas are especially vulnerable to global warming, as they ex-perience faster temperature changes than lowlands in a climate change con-text. Notably, increased temperatures and frequency of extreme flooding ...

Morphometric variations of two patellid limpets between artificial breakwaters and natural reefs
(Elsevier, 2024-01-10)
Artificial shorelines often differ from natural reefs in shape, composition, and habitat complexity. They promote higher accumulation of pollutants and increased physiological stress, which lead to changes in species ...

Leakage of plastics and other debris from landfills to a highly protected lake by wintering gulls
(Elsevier, 2024-04-01)
General context Gulls ingest plastic and other litter while foraging in open landfills, because organic matter is mixed with other debris. Therefore, gulls are potential biovectors of plastic pollution into natural habitats, ...
