Nutritional effects on the expression of cryptic pigmentation in freshwater isopods

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Cryptic pigmentation is a key phenotypic adaptation that helps many benthic invertebrates evade visual predators. However, little is known about whether and how the expression of pigmentation phenotypes that match the habitat background is influenced by the availability of nutritional resources.

Significance of diarylheptanoids for chemotaxonomical distinguishing between Alnus glutinosa and Alnus incana [PDF]

Holzforschung, 2017
Abstract Diarylheptanoids are a group of secondary metabolites widely distributed in the Betulaceae family and characteristic for Alnus species. In this study, the chemotaxonomic power of diarylheptanoids, such as hirsutanonol-5-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, rubranoside A, oregonin, platyphylloside, alnuside A and hirsutanonol, has been ...

Avian extra‐pair paternity in the last European primeval forest

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 338-346, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Primeval forests offer a reference baseline to understand the origins and evolution of mating systems, as their relatively undisturbed environment provides a glimpse into how ecological interactions and natural selection play out in their original context.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Geranium sylvaticum*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Geranium sylvaticum is a perennial forb of upland grasslands, woodlands and riverbanks in northern Britain, with scattered native occurrences also in Wales, central England and Northern Ireland. It has an extensive native range in Europe and Asia. The species is gynodioecious, with individual plants typically female or hermaphrodite.

Divergent Functional Roles of Shredder Size: Interspecific Versus Intraspecific Effects on Aquatic Leaf Litter Decomposition

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Biodiversity enhances stream ecosystem efficiency, with greater taxonomic and trait diversity improving functions like decomposition. Shredder diversity arises from both species differences and ontogenetic variation. We experimentally examined these factors to reveal how they shape the magnitude and timing of organic matter processing in streams ...

Native trees are related to advanced bird breeding phenology and increased reproductive success along an urban gradient

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Urban areas are altered from natural landscapes in several ways that can impact wildlife. Birds are widespread in urban areas, and it is well documented that there are phenotypic differences between urban and non‐urban conspecifics. However, little is known about which characteristics of the urban environment are driving differences. We used 9

Tree-mediated methane emissions from tropical and temperate peatlands [PDF]

, 2012
Methane production and transport processes in peatlands are fairly well understood, but growing evidence for emission of methane through trees has highlighted the need to revisit methane transport processes.
