Structural complexity and prey availability shape spider communities under retention forestry

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings suggest that retention forestry practices, which maintain structural complexity through spatial and vertical heterogeneity, integrate deadwood and support diverse plant communities, may support spider richness and shape dominant ecological strategies while influencing predator populations through prey availability.

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 875-888, May 2026.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Cave Dependency Limits Climate‐Driven Range Shifts in African Cave‐Roosting Bats

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate and land‐use change threaten the persistence of Africa's cave‐roosting bats, yet their future distributions remain poorly understood. We present the first continental‐scale assessment of climate‐driven range shifts for cave‐dwelling bats in sub‐Saharan Africa, using Miniopteridae as an obligate cave‐dependent model taxon, by ...

Environmental Contamination Affects Associated Bacterial Communities in a Neotropical Arboreal Ant

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
Environmental stressors such as contamination from mining tailings can alter microbial communities associated with insects, including social ants. Ants, as widespread and ecologically influential insects with stable microbial associations, offer a relevant model to examine these effects.
