Functional traits can explain coordinated seedling responses to drought and freezing stress

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Limited plant establishment creates demographic bottlenecks that can alter vegetation trajectories in changing environments, yet it is unclear how common eco‐evolutionary indicators of plant strategy shape early response to key stressors.

Between Gaps and Voids: An Archaeometrical Study of Degraded Fibers in a Sherd From the Cueva dos Chinches Muertas, Siltzul (Raxruha, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, excavations at the Cueva dos Chinches Muertas carried out by the Raxruha Viejo Project uncovered a small ceramic sherd distinguished by a stratified structure composed of multiple layers of textile imprints, both superficial and transversal.

Is urbanisation a barrier to genetic diversity in the solitary specialist bee, Melissodes druriellus?

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Bees are integral pollinators commonly found in and supported by urban green spaces; however, their eco‐evolutionary response to urbanisation varies interspecifically. While several studies have explored the population and landscape genetics of bees in response to urbanisation, few have examined solitary or specialist species which may be more ...

Environment and Host Genetics Drive Infection Outcomes in a Butterfly Host, but Do Not Interact With Each Other

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study examined how host genetics and larval food plant environment influence parasite infection outcomes in monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) infected with the protozoan Ophryocystis elektroscirrha. We tested for genotype × environment interactions on infection status, infection burden, lifespan, and wing size.

Cattle and bison grazing decreases monarch egg and larval abundance in the Central United States

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Monarch butterflies have experienced massive population declines and have been proposed to be listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) are the sole host plant for monarch larvae, and milkweed abundance has dramatically declined in the past 25 years due to increased usage of herbicides and the ...

Museomic phylogenomics of Orthosiinae (Apocynaceae) integrating targeted sequencing and morphology

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Museum collections offer valuable resources for phylogenetic research, especially in taxonomically challenging groups. Here, we present a phylogenetic study of the South American Apocynaceae subtribe Orthosiinae, based on sequencing 835 nuclear genes and chloroplast genomes from ~120 species using a family‐specific probe set and multiple ...

Parasitoidism by Brachymeria pandora (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) in Pupae of Danaus erippus (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in an Urban Savanna Area

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Chalcididae comprises parasitoid wasps that attack various invertebrate groups. Within the family, some Brachymeria species specialises in infecting pupae of Lepidoptera. Here, we quantitatively describe the relationship between Brachymeria pandora and the Southern Monarch butterfly, Danaus erippus, in urban areas of Cuiabá, Mato Grosso ...

Step by step: Floral structure and developmental changes to the formation of the gynostegium in Apocynaceae s.l.

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1467-1480, August 2026.
Developmental changes in Apocynaceae s.l. reveal progressive reductions in the corolla tube and epipetaly, together with increased staminal tube formation, highlighting shifts in floral integration associated with gynostegium evolution and organization.

Assessment of carbon and nitrogen stocks in soil and soil organic matter fractions in an alley cropping system under a northern temperate climate

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Alley cropping, combining tree rows with wide alleys for agricultural crops, has demonstrated variable potential to store additional carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soil, compared to conventional cropping. Studies quantifying C and N in particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral‐associated organic matter (MAOM) are scarce, despite their ...

Soil salinity effects on pollen and pollinator visitation in a buzz‐pollinated glycophyte, Solanum carolinense

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Premise Human activity has significantly altered the salt cycle, affecting an estimated 2.5 billion acres of soil worldwide. Elevated soil salinity is a well‐known plant stressor, but it may also affect interactions between plants and insects, which are often sodium limited.
