The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.

Plant Functional Traits and Vegetation Structure Explain Pollination Networks at Scale

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
Being able to quantify interactions between different taxa at scale is critical for understanding terrestrial ecosystem functioning and global food production, as in the case of plant‐pollinator interactions. Here, we apply plant functional strategies remotely sensed at the landscape scale to predict the structure of plant‐pollinator networks at a ...

Four Novel Colletotrichum Species Associated With Anthracnose of Ornamental Araceae in Brazil With Insights Into Their Host Range

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Five ornamental Araceae with anthracnose symptoms, collected in Brazil, yielded four new species of Colletotrichum. These were described and named. Cross‐inoculations of those species on six aroids showed them to be non‐specific. ABSTRACT Araceae includes numerous flowering plant species that are cultivated as ornamentals in gardens, pots or by the cut‐
