Article Synopsis
- Eleven species of elephant fishes (Mormyridae) from the Sanaga River in Cameroon display dietary differences, indicating trophic niche partitioning despite their similar feeding habits on invertebrates.
- The study reveals significant variations in stable isotope ratios, suggesting ecological diversification and potential influences from seasonal changes and human activities.
- Geometric morphometric analyses demonstrate clear morphological distinctions among species, highlighting a relationship between body shape and isotopic signals, providing insights into their evolutionary interactions.
Understanding how widespread species adapt to variation in abiotic conditions across their ranges is fundamental to ecology. Insight may come from studying how among-population variation (APV) in the common garden corresponds with the environmental conditions of source populations. However, there are no such studies comparing native vs non-native populations across multiple life stages.

- Climate influences forest biomass production by affecting cambial activity directly and interacting with factors like CO levels, air pollution, and nutrient availability indirectly.* -
- A 120-year study analyzed tree-ring data from Pinus sylvestris and Picea abies to explore trends in intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE), stem growth, and the impact of sulfur and nitrogen (SN) deposition in Central Europe.* -
- Findings revealed that iWUE increased significantly from the 1950s to the 1980s due to rising atmospheric CO levels, although this trend later slowed; low-elevation sites benefited more from improved iWUE, while high-elevation sites responded primarily to warming.*
Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) represent a group of highly recalcitrant micropollutants, that continuously endanger the environment. The present work describes the geographical trends of fish contamination by individual PFASs (including new compounds, e.g.

It affects approximately 3-12 children per 1000 live births and cause death of 1 million neonates worldwide per year. Besides, motor disabilities, seizures, impaired muscle tone and epilepsy are few of the consequences of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
