Aquatic macrophytes as nature‐based solutions: Challenges and opportunities across inland and coastal waters

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Macrophytes are foundation species whose use as nature‐based solution (NbS) in aquatic ecosystems can help reduce climate change impacts while mitigating biodiversity loss. The discrepancy in research and application of macrophytes as NbS across inland and marine coastal ecosystems is an opportunity to expand the concept and learn from ...

Fungal disease management in cotton using plant protection products: An Australian perspective

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6010-6023, July 2026.
Cotton disease management requires evidence‐driven use of plant protection products. Progress hinges on integrating chemistry, diagnostics, stewardship and sustainability to build resilient production systems. Abstract Cotton production faces persistent challenges from pathogens that compromise plant establishment, yield, and fibre quality.

RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5971-5986, July 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

Foliar pests and pathogens of Eucalyptus dunnii plantations in southern Queensland

, 2011
Eucalyptus dunnii is grown in plantations in subtropical Queensland, beyond its endemic distribution of northern NSW. As the plantation industry has expanded into subtropical Australia there has been an increase in the incidence of defoliating insects ...

Dynamic rhizosphere C:N:P stoichiometry of plants, soils and microbial biomass under different grazing patterns

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2262-2274, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Analysing grassland ecological stoichiometry is crucial for evaluating ecosystem quality and health via energy flow and elemental equilibrium. Grazing is a dominant human activity shaping alpine grasslands on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP), yet few studies have used ...

Drought and growing season phenology over 35 years modulates species interactions among domestic and wild herbivores

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1194-1206, July 2026.
Using a unique 35‐year dataset, this study shows that domestic livestock do not facilitate wild large herbivores as predicted by the grazing optimization hypothesis. Instead, competition caused avoidance of cattle by elk which intensified under drought, and highlights how climate change influences interactions among domestic and wild large herbivores ...

Tree canopy defoliation impacts avifauna

, 2018
Tree canopies, critical elements of many ecosystems, are damaged by a variety of processes. We investigate how defoliation of manna gum (Eucalyptus viminalis), a species often over-browsed by koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus), influences winter use of ...

Beyond first clutches: Second broods reshape selection on breeding timing in forest and urban great tits

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1163-1177, July 2026.
Most studies of selection on breeding timing consider only first clutches. Using a 13‐year dataset of urban and forest great tits, we show that including second broods reshapes estimates of natural selection, revealing that early breeding is favoured through increased probability of multiple brooding and higher annual reproductive output.

The effect of defoliation on Portulacaria afra.

, 1980
Defoliation is essential in order to increase the production potential of Portulacaria afra. Results indicate that defoliation intensity should range between 25% and 50% and that the season of defoliation is particularly important in maintaining the high

Prescribed burning shows minor impacts on black pine needle terpenes and pine processionary moth larval survival

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our results highlight that prescribed burning in sub‐Mediterranean pine forests does not affect their resistance to PPM in the short term, either positively or negatively, indicating that it can be implemented to reduce wildfire hazard without influencing forest susceptibility to future PPM outbreaks.
