Two obligate ultramaficophytes—Balkana spergulifolia and Polygonum albanicum—were analyzed for elemental profiles (“elementomics”) and differences in response to ultramafic soils. The plant samples, along with associated rhizosphere soils, were collected from selected ultramafic areas in Serbia and analyzed for their elemental concentrations. Slight differences were observed between the soil samples, corresponding to some extent to the degree of serpentinization. The analyzed plants exhibited different strategies in response to excessive element concentrations in the soil. While B. spergulifolia predominantly accumulates nickel (Ni) in its above-ground tissues, in P. albanicum, the main response to soil Ni is exclusion.

This study examined the LDG in marine benthos across 171 stations along the tidal flats of Japan spanning a latitudinal range from 24° N to 45° N. Published datasets of macrobenthic communities were obtained to determine the multi-scale variability of marine macrobenthos in 1106 census plots from Hokkaido to Okinawa. A total of 1271 taxa were identified. Mollusca was the dominant taxonomic group in our datasets with 36% of the total composition, followed by Malacostraca (28%), Annelida (20%), and other groups (16%). Gamma diversity was highly variable (2–132 species), with a station in Hokkaido having the lowest species and a station in Kyushu having the highest regional diversity. Decreasing trends were observed in all major taxonomic groups as they plotted against latitude. The analysis of species richness across the latitudinal gradient revealed a general decline in diversity from low to high latitudes, consistent with the expected LDG pattern. However, an unexpected peak in species diversity was also observed in mid-latitude regions (32° N–34° N), particularly in the Kyushu region, possibly due to its extensive tidal flats and its historical connectivity to the Eurasian Continent. Our findings provide new insights into the geographical patterns of macrobenthic diversity along Japanese coasts.","PeriodicalId":11434,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Research","volume":"41 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://esj-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1440-1703.70068","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147668576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although acoustic monitoring has been widely applied to bats and birds, relatively few studies have focused on invertebrates, despite their significant contributions to soundscapes. Cicadas, which produce loud, continuous calls, are particularly suitable for acoustic monitoring and can strongly shape soundscapes in urban ecosystems. Therefore, we conducted continuous acoustic monitoring of cicadas at six sites in the Tokyo–Kanagawa metropolitan region, including both urban and green spaces. Recordings were made over 61 days, from June to August 2024, corresponding to the cicada activity period. Spectrograms were generated, and species were identified by manually detecting characteristic call frequency patterns and subsequently verifying them aurally. Results showed that six cicada species were detected. The timing of first calls was broadly consistent with previous studies but showed site-specific differences, likely reflecting local habitat conditions. Diel activity patterns revealed that Platypleura kaempferi and Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata extended their calling into nighttime hours at urban sites, possibly due to artificial illumination and elevated nighttime temperatures resulting from the urban heat island effect. By contrast, Hyalessa maculaticollis, Tanna japonensis, Meimuna opalifera, and Cryptotympana facialis maintained diurnal calling patterns regardless of site type. These results highlight interspecific variation in calling phenology and responses to local conditions, including urbanization, and demonstrate the effectiveness of ARUs for long-term monitoring of cicada activity.","PeriodicalId":11434,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Research","volume":"41 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://esj-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1440-1703.70066","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147668468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
