Seasonal shifts in network structure and species roles in a tropical island plant–flower visitor community Cambios estacionales en la estructura de la red de interacciones entre plantas y visitantes florales y en los roles de las especies en una comunidad insular tropical

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Constant visitation rates across the flowering season masked major shifts in plant and flower visitor interaction structure, specialization, species roles and trait‐driven patterns shaping interaction intensity. Plants and flower visitors changed ecological roles over time, with native flower visitors playing key roles in maintaining network cohesion ...

Wood anatomical trait correlations with hydraulic efficiency and safety in an aseasonal wet tropical forest

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2701-2717, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Xylem anatomy underpins the capacity of trees to transport water while avoiding hydraulic failure, shaping species performance and resilience to climate change. However, the specific ways anatomical traits underpin hydraulic trade‐offs in tropical forests remain debated.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

The typification of Cordia flavescens Aubl., the transfer of Firensia Scop. from Cordia L. (Cordiaceae; Boraginales) to the synonymy of Ocotea Aubl. (Lauraceae), and the identity of the species of Firensia

PhytoKeys, 2013
Firensia Scop. was based on Cordia flavescens Aubl., a species described and illustrated from a mixed collection that Scopoli never transferred to Firensia. The genus included three additional species formally named by Rafinesque.

Population Status and Habitat Preferences of the Critically Endangered African White‐Backed Vulture (Gyps africanus) in Southwest Ethiopia Region

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The critically endangered African white‐backed Vulture is declining rapidly across Africa due to anthropogenic threats. This study, conducted in southwest Ethiopia, quantifies its population status and reveals key habitat preferences across breeding and foraging sites. The findings provide essential data for crafting targeted conservation strategies to

Stomatal Decoupling From Photosynthesis Under High Temperatures Is Consistent With Stomatal Optimisation

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Many leaf gas exchange models predict that photosynthesis and stomatal conductance are tightly coupled and respond in parallel to changing environmental conditions. However, experiments show that when temperatures increase beyond the thermal optimum of photosynthesis, stomatal conductance may continue to rise while photosynthesis declines, facilitating
