Newcomers and Old Friends: Long‐Distance and Bridgehead Introductions Both Contribute to the Recent Invasion of the Little Fire Ant in Southern Europe

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Biological invasions result from the combination of (i) population dispersal opportunities and (ii) adaptations to the recipient environment. Identifying complex migration histories, made of long‐distance dispersal from the native range and secondary introductions, or genetic patterns indicative of adaptation is crucial to build coherent ...

Biochar Suppresses Growth, Pupation and Eclosion Success of a Specialist (Manduca sexta) and a Generalist (Spodoptera frugiperda) Insect Herbivore

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Biochar is a charcoal‐like substance made by the pyrolysis of organic material from agricultural and forestry waste. While biochar is well documented for altering soil physicochemical conditions, few studies have investigated its possible effects on the management of arthropod pests.

Why are trees hollow? Termites, microbes and tree internal stem damage in a tropical savanna

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 770-782, March 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wood plays a vital role in the terrestrial carbon cycle, both sequestering and subsequently releasing carbon to the atmosphere via decomposition. Decomposition has largely been studied in fallen and standing deadwood; much less is known about decomposition occurring ...
