Dietary flexibility and high arthropod availability prevent food limitation in a mountain population of breeding Northern Wheatears

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1629-1648, October 2026.
Mountain ecosystems are under strong environmental pressure and are considered highly vulnerable to climate change, which is likely to lead to forest expansion and loss of open alpine grasslands, threatening many specialized species. However, for most alpine birds, even basic ecological knowledge, such as their diet, remains limited, restricting our ...

Methyl Jasmonate Seed Priming Mitigates the Defence‐Growth Trade‐Off and Tailors Plant Response to Specific Pests

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 7558-7574, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

A new method for the release of Amblyseius andersoni (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in young apple orchards

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2013
The use of phytoseiid species in biological plant protection is widespread. However, the techniques used to release them differ. The possible release of Amblyseius andersoni (Chant, 1959) using a new method was tested.

Sclerophyllous structural and chemical traits of mite‐induced galls on Crinodendron patagua (Elaeocarpaceae) leaves

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 2039-2053, October 2026.
Eriophyid mites reprogram the structural and biochemical traits of sclerophyllous leaves in Crinodendron patagua, promoting the formation of nutrient‐rich and protective gall tissues. Abstract Sclerophyllous plants present a suite of traits, including small, leathery leaves with thick cuticles, dense trichomes and sclerified tissues, which are often ...
