Understanding the habitat range shifts of benthic species is crucial for determining the health of marine ecosystems, planning and resource management. Monitoring as part of ecosystem-based management...

AbstractBackgroundStoneflies are well known as indicators of water quality. Their presence in running waters, glacial meltwaters, and large oligotrophic lakes is rapidly declining the world over. In t...

Climate change is reshaping insect population dynamics in North America, notably impacting the migratory pest Empoasca fabae (Harris) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae). While its phenology is well studied in ...

There is limited information on the diversity and distribution of nearshore (depths < 20 m)benthic fishes, invertebrates, and their associated habitats near Chesterfield Inlet, which residesin the Sou...

Abstract Chnoospora is one of the genera in Scytosiphonaceae with many taxonomic changes, comprising only two currently taxonomically accepted species. Chnoospora min...

The relationship between bats (order: Chiroptera) and humans is complex, highly contextualized across the globe, and dynamic. We assessed the United States (US) importation of live bats, as well as ba...

The Yucatán mouse opossum (Tlacuatzin gaumeri) is a little-known species so far reported only from the Mexican states of Campeche and Yucatán in the Yucatán Península. Due to the geographic proximity ...

Almost all research on natural attenuation and phytoremediation of sites contaminated with briny produced water has been conducted in temperate climates, however, there is a dearth of information on t...

Las plantas silvestres han sido desde tiempos prehispánicos una fuente importante de alimento para los mexicanos. Un grupo de alto valor nutritivo representativo de estas plantas y presente en la gast...

La rabia es la zoonosis con mayor impacto sobre herbívoros domésticos, provocando en América Latina pérdidas económicas de aproximadamente 97 millones de dólares anuales. En esta región, el vampiro co...

The negative ramifications of invasive alien species (IAS) are considered the second-most cause of biodiversity extinction and endangerment after habitat modification. IAS movements are mainly anthrop...

The Hawaiian islands have been deeply impacted by invasive species introduced over the past ~250 years since European colonization, with grasses playing an outsized role. Invasive grasses (Poaceae) no...

Three gastropod species were discovered in Utah in recent years that have not been previously documented in the state. These include the slug Arion fasciatus and 2 terrestrial snails: Cryptomastix mag...

Gambierdiscus is a marine benthic dinoflagellate genus that currently contains 19 species; some of them are toxigenic, producing ciguatoxins, maitotoxins, and other toxic compounds. The objective of t...

By 1985, approximately 400,000 ha of the keystone species Shinnery oak's (Quercus havardii) historic distribution had been eliminated for agricultural purposes across the southwestern United States. T...

Aim: Climate change is changing species distributions globally, but predicting these impacts on assemblages and their spatial overlaps under future scenarios is an ongoing challenge. Here, we explore ...

Freezing tolerance plays a pivotal role in shaping the distribution and diversification of organisms. We investigated the dynamics of adaptation to climate and potential trade‐offs between stem freezi...

We studied the population size, demography, seasonal ecology, and movements of Arizona Mud Turtles (Kinosternon stejnegeri) in 2 earthen stock tanks on the U.S.Mexico international border in Pima Coun...

The Institute for Natural Resources worked with United States Forest Service staff to produce a species profile for Rocky Mountain tailed frog, Ascaphus montanus, a potential Species of Conservation C...

As cities around the world expand, we urgently need to better understand the drivers of urban biodiversity, especially for functionally important groups such as insect pollinators. In this study, we g...

Our ecological understanding of how biodiversity will respond to global change is to a large extent based on projections from presence‐only species distribution models. Despite the incredible utility ...

Plants with carnivorous traits are of great importance. However, it is globally noticed that without effective conservation, a declining number of suitable habitats, and the wide destruction of curren...
