Eco-Evolutionary Interactions With Multiple Evolving Species Reveal Both Antagonistic and Additive Effects

Héléne Vanvelk; Lynn Govaert; Edwin M. van den Berg; Luc De Meester

 The authors investigated the ecological effects of evolution of multiple zooplankton species of their community dynamics. The study highlights that species differ in their evolution-mediated ecological effects and showcases that using the evolutionary effects on ecology of single species to predict multiple species' effects may lead to unreliable predictions.

Differential survival and feeding rates of three commonly traded gastropods across salinities

Elisabeth Renk; James W. E. Dickey; Ross N. Cuthbert; Elžbieta Kazanavičiūtė; Elizabeta Briski

This study investigates the establishment and impact risks posed by three readily available, traded snail species – Melanoides tuberculata, Tarebia granifera and Anentome helena – by assessing their survival and feeding responses across a spectrum of salinity levels.

The frequent five: Insights from interviews with urban wildlife professionals in Germany

Simon S. Moesch; Jonathan M. Jeschke; Sophie Lokatis; Geva Peerenboom; Stephanie Kramer-Schadt; Tanja M. Straka; Dagmar Haase

The authors interviewed 36 urban wildlife professionals in 4 large cities in Germany. Red foxes, wild boars, raccoons, stone martens and Eurasian beavers were the five mammal species most frequently highlighted in interviews to cause human-wildlife conflicts. The interviewees emphasized the need to create refuges for beavers and better inform the public about foxes.

Hydrological connectivity drives intra- and inter-annual variation in water quality in an intermittent stream network in a mixed land use catchment under drought

Famin Wang; Doerthe Tetzlaff; Tobias Goldhammer; Jonas Freymueller; Chris Soulsby

The study investigated spatio-temporal variation of hydrological connectivity and linked water quality in an intermittent mixed land use, lowland catchment in NE Germany. In recent years streamflow became more intermittent with major implications for water quality. Spatial variation of water quality is related to soils and landuse. An extensive wetland area acted as a major ecohydrological buffer.

A modelling approach to assess climate change impacts on taxonomic and functional diversity of European stream macroinvertebrates: Implications for water quality monitoring

Francesco Polazzo; Sami Domisch; Martina Flörke; Andreu Rico

The authors used bioclimatic models to predict EU freshwater macroinvertebrate habitats. The future distribution of macroinvertebrates reveals significant regional variations. Functional diversity was projected to change less than taxonomic diversity. Changes in environmentally suitable areas will impact widely used biological indices.
