Corn Starch‐Pink Peppercorn Composite Biofilms as Potential Biodegradable Food Packaging

Starch - Stärke, Volume 78, Issue 6, June 2026.
Biodegradable packaging produced with renewable raw materials is important to sustainability. In this sense, starch‐based biofilms modified with different forms of pink peppercorn could be useful as potential biocompatible, biodegradable materials for food protection, understanding the physiochemical interactions between biofilm and fruit during the ...

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 ...
