Reliance on blue, green, and brown energy channels drives a shift in the trophic position of riparian spiders

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Understanding the mechanisms shaping food chain length (FCL) has long been central to food web ecology. FCL is a key determinant of stability, energy flow efficiency, and biodiversity maintenance, but there is an ongoing debate about its underlying drivers.

Thermophilization over space but not time among communities of ground‐dwelling arthropods in a desert city

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Thermophilization of communities, or shifts in composition favoring more warm‐adapted species, over time and space is a common response to warming from global climate change and localized effects of land‐use change. However, the interplay between community thermophilization driven by temporal warming in global climate and spatial warming in ...

Meta‐analysis on effects of Bt‐maize on nontarget invertebrates – Data transportability across continents

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 365-376, January 2026.
Maize varieties producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have become an important component of integrated pest management worldwide. For regulatory approval of such plants, risks to the environment need to be assessed. To make such assessments less expensive and time‐consuming, conclusions drawn from data collected in one region

High‐quality litter drives a stronger home‐field advantage of leaf decomposition in young plantations

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 97-112, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐field advantage (HFA) describes the tendency of litter to decompose accelerated in its native habitat than in other environments. Although the interactions between soil fauna and microbial communities during litter decomposition are well documented, the specific ...

Contrasting effects of deadwood and gaps on the trophic structure of forest soil microarthropods

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 150-162, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the mechanisms driving forest biodiversity is challenging, especially in soil. Trophic niche is the most important perspective to understand how biodiversity changes with disturbances.

Evaluation of BugBox, a software platform for AI‐assisted bioinventories of arthropods

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 192-203, January 2026.
The BugBox artificial intelligence platform performed reliably on coarse biodiversity analysis of agrobiont arthropods, even while its models were still being developed and trained. This gives scientists the ability to conduct large‐scale bioinventories rapidly, to inform growers and policymakers on environmental issues in a timely fashion.

Abundance of Collembola in Biopore Infiltration Holes Filled with Organic Waste and Animal Waste

Florea: Jurnal Biologi dan Pembelajarannya
Garbage and flooding are environmental problems that need attention. One solution to dealing with organic waste and flooding is the creation of biopore absorption holes (LRB). Organic waste can be processed into compost with the help of soil animals such

An introduction to Iranian Collembola (Hexapoda): an update to the species list

ZooKeys, 2013
The Collembola fauna of Iran is little known and no comprehensive examination of this group of Hexapoda is available for this region. The only notable work on Collembola was carried out by Cox (1982).

Moss‐Accumulated eDNA Is a Promising Source for Terrestrial Biodiversity Surveys Across the Tree of Life and Biomes

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Developments in the environmental DNA (eDNA) field have revolutionised our ability to map biodiversity by providing cost‐effective and non‐invasive means to survey organisms across the tree of life. In the terrestrial realm, a variety of eDNA sources have been employed, but we lack easily accessible and cosmopolitan sources of terrestrial eDNA.
