Is a plant truly plastic? Nutrients and neighbours induce trait‐specific responses, but performance depends on response direction

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Plants live in a heterogeneous world, where nutrient and neighbour distributions vary in space and time. Plants can respond to this variation through plastic responses in individual organs, which are assumed to be coordinated among traits to support a coherent, adaptive strategy, maintaining plant growth in varying environments.

Artemisia argyi allelopathy: a generalist compromises hormone balance, element absorption, and photosynthesis of receptor plants

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Allelopathy is expressed through the release of plant chemicals and is considered a natural alternative for sustainable weed management. Artemisia argyi (A.

From fertilizer to insecticide: urban leaf litter chemistry alters the survival landscape of Aedes aegypti

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3395-3407, April 2026.
Chemical profiling and bioassays reveal that leaf‐litter leachates from urban trees flip between nourishing and killing Aedes aegypti larvae: dilute Tipuana tipu boosts growth, whereas concentrated, aged extracts are >90% lethal. Species‐specific chemistry thus turns street trees into potential self‐renewing tools for integrated vector control ...

Nanoemulsion design of Cynara cardunculus leaves extract rich in sesquiterpene lactones

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 4036-4050, April 2026.
This work introduces a novel formulation strategy that advances the potential of Cynara cardunculus leaf extract enriched in sesquiterpene lactones as a bioherbicide and contributes to the broader development of sustainable weed management tools based on natural products.

Below‐ground drivers of rhizosphere functional gene assembly during Moso bamboo expansion

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1001-1020, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) expansion threatens subtropical forest biodiversity, yet how intraspecific root trait variation shapes rhizosphere microbial functional potential remains unclear.

Recruitment of Native Pollinators and Dispersers by Lonicera japonica May Facilitate Its Invasion and Its Potential Threat to Local Biodiversity

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Lonicera japonica is a plant native to Asia that has been widely used in landscaping as an ornamental plant, but has escaped cultivation and become invasive in several countries. This study examined the reproductive phenology, pollinator attraction, and potential dispersal mechanisms of L.

Influence of prey concentration, light intensity, and temperature on the growth and ingestion of the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Pyrophacus horologium, a predator of the harmful species Heterocapsa niei

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 606-622, April 2026.
Abstract Pyrophacus horologium belongs to the family Pyrocystaceae and was recently identified as a mixotrophic dinoflagellate capable of feeding on other dinoflagellates. In this study, the growth and feeding responses of P. horologium were investigated under various environmental conditions by providing Heterocapsa niei, its preferred prey.

Mathematical Modelling of Allelopathy: IV. Assessment of Contributions of Competition and Allelopathy to Interference by Barley

Dose-Response, 2005
One of the main challenges to the research on allelopathy is technically the separation of allelopathic effect from competition, and quantitatively, the assessment of the contribution of each component to overall interference. A simple mathematical model
