What Drives the Changing Characteristics of Plankton in Floodplain Lakes: Season, Environmental Factors, or Lake Characteristics?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
In this study, we conducted investigations and monitoring on lakes during the wet season and dry season. We studied the structure, taxonomic/functional diversity, community assembly, and niche differentiation of plankton communities, analyzed the biogeographical patterns of plankton communities, and explored the driving factors affecting plankton ...

Differences in Parasite Infection Status and Behavior Between a Clonal Fish and Her Sexually Reproducing Heterospecifics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We found that Amazons and Sailfins differed in their qualitative, but not quantitative, resistance to parasites. Amazons had worse qualitative resistance (i.e., were more likely to be infected with at least one parasite) and spent more time in the open, riskier portion of the assay arena. Parasite prevalence and load differed between our two collection

Phenotypic Integration Facilitates Plasticity Through Reorganization of Traits Under Multiple Stress: Evidence From Asexual Water Flea Genotypes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study demonstrates that phenotypic integration, the coordinated covariation among traits, is itself a plastic and context‐dependent property in clonal Daphnia. Contrary to the classic constraint model, we found that stronger integration can facilitate greater plasticity, particularly under low‐food conditions, with differential plasticity between ...

How Epiphytic Are Epiphytes? Field Evidence for Flexible Substrate Use in Tropical Cloud Forest Plants

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
In the field, 63% of the species grew exclusively epiphytically, while 37% also grew terrestrially. Literature‐derived epiphytic values consistently overestimated substrate fidelity relative to field observations, particularly single‐source classifications, with mean absolute differences of up to 32%.
