Parasitic infections pose a significant threat to the wild population of Southern catfish (Silurus meridionalis) in Dongting Lake, yet the specific pathogen identity and epidemiological drivers remain unclear. This study combined morphological assessment, 28S rDNA molecular identification, and Generalized Linear Models (GLM) to elucidate the infection dynamics and pathogenicity of trematodes. Molecular analysis confirmed the p...

Climate warming can destabilize ecological communities by altering species interactions. Population outbreaks, defined as rapid, exponential increases in population size within a given spatiotemporal scale, are naturally occurring phenomena with significant ecosystem‐wide consequences. Such outbreaks are expected to increase in frequency under climate change, yet their ecological consequences under warming remain poorly unders...
