Seasonal stoichiometry of terrestrial consumer–resource interactions

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Variation in producer stoichiometry influences animal distribution, abundance, and behavior. While spatial variation in producer stoichiometry is widely acknowledged, seasonal variation in producer nutrient content may also strongly affect primary consumers.

Adaptive Calculation Method of Line Loss of Distribution Network Based on Genetic Algorithm and Artificial Neural Network

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
A GA‐BP neural network model with optimized preprocessing and clustering reduces line loss calculation errors and improves efficiency in distribution networks. ABSTRACT Traditional methods for calculating distribution line losses often rely on complex mathematical models and extensive operational data, leading to cumbersome processes that struggle to ...

Asphalted parking lots are environmental filters for multiple propagule dispersal and pollination strategies

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Understanding community assembly for wild species in anthropogenic settings has become increasingly important as biodiversity and ecosystem services are threatened by development pressures. Urban hardscape habitats such as parking lots are widespread, extreme, terrestrial anthropogenic environments that influence plant community assembly by way of ...

Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.

Butterfly and moth habitat specialisation changes along an elevational gradient of tropical forests on Mount Cameroon

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Niche breadth, reflecting the range of environmental conditions or resources a species can exploit, influences its distribution, persistence, vulnerability to environmental change, and interspecific interactions. The elevational niche‐breadth hypothesis predicts broader ecological niches at higher elevations due to increased environmental stress and ...

Is bee‐avoidance by bird‐pollinated flowers driven by nectar robbing in Erica?

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1046-1060, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nectar robbing (consuming nectar from a perforated flower without pollinating) generally negatively affects plant fecundity, and plants exhibit multiple mechanisms in defence.

Tetraopes Milkweed Beetle Genomes Elucidate the Adaptive Basis of a Temperate Coevolutionary Radiation

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

Urbanisation Drives Microevolution in the Egyptian Fruit Bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus)

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a pervasive global phenomenon that exerts strong influence on biodiversity and ecosystems. Many species can thrive in urban landscapes by capitalising on generalist traits and environmental resilience; however, this does not safeguard against potential biases exerted by urban environments on population processes.

Quality time in early childhood: Eliciting young children's perspectives

Family Relations, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 845-864, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This study employed developmentally sensitive ethnographic techniques to elicit young children's perspectives of their quality time experiences in family contexts. Background Intensive parenting ideology and social constructions of “good parenting” prioritize culturally defined quality time in which parents focus on cultivating ...
