Dark diversity in temperate forests of northeastern China: drivers and implications
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Understanding the species composition of a community, including those species present and those absent but potentially able to occur, is vital for assessing biodiversity changes and informing conservation planning. Typically, studies focus on observed taxonomic diversity but ignore undetected species expected to be present based on co‐occurrence ...

Habitat‐Dependent Effects of Canopy Cover on Insect Predation in a Tropical Dry Forest Landscape
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.Our results reveal that arthropods, particularly chewing arthropods, were the dominant predators, and their activity was strongly influenced by both habitat type and canopy cover. Predation probability increased with canopy cover in forest plots but decreased in silvo‐pastures, highlighting an important interaction between vegetation structure and ...

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.This study investigates the impacts of hydration–dehydration cycles (HD cycles) on the germination and early growth of Xiquexique gounellei subsp. gounellei. Our findings demonstrate that HD cycles significantly influence seed germination behavior. However, we observed that memory expression varies according to the plant's life stage.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 137-150, January 2026.This study identifies Polychromophilus sp. in blood‐feeding flies (Basilia speiseri and Basilia lindolphoi) from Myotis nigricans bats in Brazil, marking the first molecular detection of the parasite in an insect vector in this country. Two haplotypes were identified, both within the Polychromophilus murinus group.

Beyond Dung: Attractiveness of Native and Exotic Fruits to Dung Beetles in the Brazilian Savanna
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Dietary breadth enhances animal resilience in environments where resources are unpredictable or declining, enabling species to exploit alternative food sources when primary ones are scarce. In dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae), frugivory is an increasingly recognised foraging strategy, particularly in tropical regions experiencing ...
