Biological Diversity, EarlyView.The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.

Nonconstant Positive Steady States for a Predator–Prey System With Signal‐Dependent Diffusion
Mathematische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates a highly nonlinear predator–prey reaction–diffusion system featuring signal‐dependent prey diffusion, where the motility of the prey is modulated by a chemical signal released by predators. For unbounded functional responses, we establish the global‐in‐time existence and uniform‐in‐time boundedness of classical ...

Aphid reproductive investment in response to mortality risks
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background Aphids are striking in their prodigious reproductive capacity and reliance on microbial endosymbionts, which provision their hosts with necessary amino acids and provide protection against parasites and heat stress. Perhaps as a result of this

The epigenetic landscape of plant defense: Unlocking nature's toolkit for new plant protection
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.This review examines how epigenetic mechanisms regulate plant immune gene activation, repression, and priming, then links these natural regulatory layers to emerging epigenetic editing, discussing their potential for precise, heritable crop protection and the challenges.
