Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2119-2133, October 2026.ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

The invasive herb Lupinus polyphyllus attracts bumblebees but reduces total arthropod abundance [PDF]
, 2022 Invasive plant species generally reduce the abundance and diversity of local plant species, which may translate into alterations at higher tropic levels, such as arthropods.

Gut Microbiome Diversity, Functional Potential, and Ecological Relevance of Hottentotta tamulus
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.Long‐read 16S sequencing uncovers the gut microbiome of H. tamulus. A highly conserved and low‐diversity bacterial community dominates the gut fauna. Bacillus and Mycoplasma lineages emerge as predominant candidate endosymbionts. Exploratory profiles reveal potential sex‐specific trends in microbial abundance.

Darwin's Naturalization Conundrum in the Azores: Scale‐Dependent Patterns of Arthropod Invasion
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Aim To test the mechanisms governing the assembly of exotic arthropods within endemic‐rich island communities by evaluating Darwin's naturalization conundrum, which predicts that invasion success occurs through either functional dissimilarity from native species (Naturalization Hypothesis) or functional similarity with them (Pre‐adaptation ...
