Allochthonous chemical cues drive predation by a top carnivore
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1698-1708, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Identifying the mechanisms by which mobile predators detect and select prey remains a central challenge in sensory biology and functional ecology. This study provides the first direct evidence that chemical cues associated with allochthonous organic matter (e.g.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Our findings show that beaver‐engineering significantly enhances local biodiversity across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, even at sites with high land‐use intensity. Hence, beavers can effectively restore stream biodiversity across a range of urban to agricultural to natural ecosystems.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Restoring predator populations can generate cascading effects on their prey by reshaping ecosystem food webs, yet its consequences for prey community organization and multi‐trophic dynamics remain poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate how native predator recovery shapes prey biodiversity, assembly processes, and trophic dependencies, and

Flooding affects fluctuating asymmetry but not growth of a riparian orbweaving spider
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 547-557, June 2026.In a mesocosm experiment we assessed the impact of flood on aquatic insect emergence and on spider development using geometric morphometric analysis of fluctuating asymmetry. We observed 45% higher emergence in flooded mesocosm throughout the season. Spiders did not grow bigger but exhibited ~15% lower fluctuating asymmetry than in controls.

Oviposition preference in the dark-winged damselfly (Calopteryx maculata). [PDF]
, 2008 Natural History & EvolutionOur study investigated preference of oviposition in Calopteryx maculata, the dark-winged damselfly. Artificial damselfly territories were created using several leaves of Sparganium americanum fixed in place in a river, at known

Cost of parasite exposure depends on host ontogeny 寄生接觸的代價依賴於宿主發育階段
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 592-603, June 2026.The cost of parasite exposure varies across host developmental stages, demonstrating that ontogeny influences the expression of non‐consumptive effects (NCEs). Mite exposure resulted in consumptive effects in fly eggs and NCEs in early‐stage pupae; mite longevity was comparable when provisioned with pupae or water but increased when provisioned with ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 11, June 2026.ABSTRACT Accurate inferences of diversification and evolutionary processes depend on knowing how many independently evolving lineages exist within nominally widespread taxa. Uncertainty in lineage number and composition also limits our ability to meaningfully prioritise conservation efforts.

Summer Rainfall Drives Adaptation with Gene Flow in a Widespread Butterfly
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding how environmental variation interacts with gene flow to shape population genomic patterns is a central goal in evolutionary biology. We investigated how geographic and environmental differences impact genetic variation in the clouded sulfur butterfly (Colias philodice eriphyle) by conducting whole‐genome resequencing across ...
