Phylogenetic Analyses of True Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) Reveal Directionality in Diet Evolution and Support a Boreotropical Origin of the Tribe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...

New Mitogenomic Resources for the Caiman yacare (Daudin, 1802) From Bolivia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
New mitochondrial genomes were generated to enhance the mitochondrial genetic resources available for Caiman yacare. Mitochondrial genomes of approximately 16 kb were obtained through genome skimming using Illumina sequencing technology. The assemblies revealed a composition typical of vertebrate mitogenomes, including 13 protein‐coding genes, 2 rRNA ...

Plant diversity estimates of Mediterranean islands differ among biodiversity databases

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Large‐scale biodiversity databases encompass three main types of data for plants, namely single species point occurrences, co‐occurrences in vegetation plots, and checklists for specific areas. Evidence shows that such data types exhibit specific biases, reporting different species assemblages at local scales.

The Seasonal Impact of the Island Mass Effect on Coastal Biogeochemistry and Phytoplankton Assemblage: The Case of the Tropical and Volcanic Island of Guadeloupe (French West Indies)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Island Mass Effect (IME) in tropical regions remains understudied, despite its potential to fertilize oligotrophic oceanic gyres and impact on higher trophic levels. Guadeloupe provides an ideal case study of IME due to its diverse nutrient sources, dual exposure to the Caribbean Sea on the western coast and Atlantic Ocean on the eastern ...

Herbivore decline switches a high Arctic plant community from top‐down to bottom‐up control

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.
Declining abundance of large herbivores in the Arctic loosens the top‐down control on the vegetation, which now responds primarily to the changing climatic conditions and follows the general greening pattern observed in a warming Arctic. These changes may impact terrestrial ecosystem element cycling, with knock‐on effects on the dynamics in adjacent ...

Coexistence of Photosynthetic Marine Microorganisms, Viruses and Grazers: Towards Integration in Ocean Ecosystem Models

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our study explores coexistence regimes of a virus and a zooplankton with a single phytoplankton for different model structures (left panel). The inclusion of an infected class and a resistant class is sufficient to generate coexistence regimes (middle panel). Using algebraic solutions, we optimise our model emphasising the importance of including viral
