Despite extensive research, stabilizing mechanisms in ecosystems remain uncertain. Taylor's power law (TPL) is a pervasive ecological pattern that describes how variance scales with mean abundance (σ2 = aμᵇ). While TPL has been widely studied within populations, its role across species within communities and its implications for stability remain ...

Exploring ecohydrology through the lens of local fishers in the Bolivian Amazon
Abstract The natural flow regimes of Andean‐Amazon tributaries play a vital role in sustaining their rich biodiversity and productive local fisheries, but ongoing and proposed alteration of river flow regimes by large dams threatens to negatively impact river ecosystems. Despite its importance, our understanding of how hydrologic variability influences

Assessing the role of foliar habit on nutrient losses in a sub‐Antarctic forest
Abstract Biogeochemical cycles drive global biodiversity and plant productivity. In terrestrial ecosystems, nutrient losses through plants' litter are a critical component of these biogeochemical cycles. In forests, nutrient losses are thought to be higher in deciduous angiosperm species than in evergreen conifers.

The study identifies Trichoderma ossianense, was can be isolated from grapevine roots, is capable of growing at alkaline pH and controls black‐foot pathogens, highlighting the vegetal residue‐based formulations that preserve its viability. Abstract BACKGROUND Fungi of the Trichoderma genus are used in vineyards as biological control agents mainly ...

Ewangoa, a new threatened Central African genus of Euphorbiaceae‐Acalyphoideae
Abstract A new morphologically divergent genus and species of Euphorbiaceae from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ewangoa cardiophora, is described and illustrated. This taxon is easily recognised by its leaf‐opposed inflorescences, which are surrounded by a single cordiform involucral bract. Molecular phylogenetic evidence shows that Ewangoa is a

Differential effects of agricultural expansion on wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollinators, especially bees, are in global decline, threatening biodiversity and food security. While intensive agriculture is a primary driver, its impact on bee functional diversity—particularly in the diverse Mediterranean region—remains understudied.
