Survey of Synanthropic Spiders in Ireland Reveals Expansion and Dominance of the Invasive Noble False Widow Steatoda nobilis in Urban Habitats (Araneae: Theridiidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Rapid urbanisation has facilitated the establishment of large populations of the Noble false widow spider outside of its native range through the use of synanthropic microhabitats. In Ireland, we survey these favourable microhabitats for spider diversity for the first time and find that the Noble false widow now typically makes up more than 40% of the ...

Intra‐ and Inter‐Specific Ecological Impacts Vary Across a Gradient of Abundance of an Invasive Species, Bothriochloa ischaemum, in a Mixed‐Grass Prairie

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The invasive grass Bothriochloa ischaemum negatively impacts native plant communities along an invasion gradient, reducing native grass abundance, plant species richness, and altering functional traits and overall community structure. Most intra‐ and inter‐specific effects increase with greater invader abundance.

Safeguarding a Flagship Species: Integrated Surveillance of Cross‐Species Pathogen Transmission in Giant Panda Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.

Does biotic resistance govern forest invasions by bark and ambrosia beetles?

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The theory of biotic resistance states that community diversity promotes resistance to biological invasions. This theory has been widely explored for its ability to explain variation in habitat invasibility to non‐native plant species and while the theory holds in some systems, it does not in others.

Arthropod vectors of public health importance.

Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 2010
In spite of the outstanding successes achieved in the control of arthropod vectors with insecticides, serious difficulties have been encountered in recent years. This has led to renewed interest in the possibilities of biological and other methods of control.

Precipitation and tree biomass correlate with the diversity and functional composition of tropical rainforest cricket assemblages across climate and disturbance gradients

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Disturbance‐driven changes in rainforest structure and environmental conditions can alter ecosystem functioning, yet the consequences for invertebrate communities – key contributors to decomposition, herbivory, and trophic interactions – are not fully understood, particularly in relation to structural changes in vegetation.

Volatile Organic Compound Release During Litter Decomposition in the Arctic

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.
Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from Arctic litter decomposition decline over time and differ strongly between Cassiope tetragona and Salix arctica. The inter‐species differences and changes over time are greater than the effects of climate change treatments on litter VOC emissions.
