Conversion From Natural Broad‐Leaved Forest to Conifer Plantation Increases Relative Detritus Dependency of Aculeata Communities

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
We compared the community structure of Aculeata bees and wasps in natural deciduous broadleaved forests and two coniferous plantations (Cryptomeria japonica, “Sugi” and Chamaecyparis obtusa, “Hinoki”) in southern Kyushu, Japan. Compared with natural forests, the dependence of Aculeata communities on the detritus‐based food chain increased in both ...

Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Estimation of palatability and browsing pressure are key techniques for ecosystem management. We compared four methods to estimate palatability based on browsing scar survey and proposed the reference palatability values for the Japanese flora as plant ecological trait.

Facing the D‐Ilemma of Heat Resistance Parameters: From Pathogen Risk Assessment to Surrogate Selection Challenges in the Fruit Juice and Nectar Production

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Over the years, numerous D‐ and z‐values have been published in the scientific literature. While these values initially appear to be valid criteria for assessing and comparing the heat resistance of different microorganisms under the same conditions or the same microorganism under different conditions, this is not always the case.

Proactive Coral Reef Restoration Using Thermally Tolerant Corals in Hawaiʻi

open access: yesConservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective conservation of degraded ecosystems requires mitigation of the original cause of decline, but this is difficult in the context of global climate change. On coral reefs, persistent environmental stress, which causes coral bleaching, may be addressed in restoration efforts by using coral stocks which are naturally more resilient, an ...

Repellent Effects of Host Essential Oils and Limited Effects of Host Length on Tree‐Killing Bark Beetle Attacks

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 1, Page 37-44, January 2026.
This study demonstrated that the host essential oil significantly reduced Polygraphus proximus Blandford (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) attack density, but the density did not differ significantly among logs of various lengths of Abies sachalinensis. Our study suggests that host essential oils can perform as repellents against conifer‐infesting bark beetles.
