Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2448-2466, October 2026.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.Here, we investigated the effects of different levels of habitat heterogeneity and of ecological improvement of habitat to increase foraging resources on wild bee communities in Austria and Luxembourg. We found that ecological improvement was important in Luxembourg for species richness and abundance but less so in Austria; here, habitat heterogeneity ...

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract The environment or experiences of a parent generation can impact the fitness of the next generation, a phenomenon known as parental effects. While a high‐quality diet can directly benefit an individual and a low‐quality diet can reduce fitness, a parental effect occurs only when there is a transgenerational response to these stimuli that ...

Nest destruction elicits indiscriminate con- versus heterospecific brood parasitism in a captive bird [PDF]
, 2014 Following nest destruction, the laying of physiologically committed eggs (eggs that are ovulated, yolked, and making their way through the oviduct) in the nests of other birds is considered a viable pathway for the evolution of obligate interspecific ...

Corridors increase ant diversity over time
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Globally, habitat loss and fragmentation pose significant threats to biodiversity. Habitat corridors are often used in fragmented landscapes to reconnect isolated patches. However, understanding how corridors function can be challenging, as their effects may be confounded with simultaneous changes to habitat area, edge amount, and connectivity

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.The conversion of rainforests into rubber and oil palm plantations drives biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia. Parasitoid wasps are highly diverse and play an essential role in ecosystems by regulating herbivore populations. Declines in density and diversity of parasitoid wasps, after land‐use change is well‐documented, but potential functional losses ...
