Fall grazing improves the performance of Kernza intermediate wheatgrass as a dual‐purpose crop
Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Kernza intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) [Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey] is a perennial grain and forage crop with novel dual‐use potential. Grazing IWG forage and/or intercropping IWG with legumes can increase total annual forage yields, but the effect of grazing timing on grain yield needs to be understood to maximize ...

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 121, Issue 1, January 2026.Soybean yield is often reduced by pest attacks. Among these, Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) stands out as one of the most important defoliating pests of soybean. Therefore, the development of new bioinsecticides targeting Lepidopteran pests is an urgent need.

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Bark beetles of the genus Dendroctonus are some of the most important disturbance agents in North American forests, having colonized conifers for millions of years. The selection pressure posed by tree‐killing bark beetles pushed trees to develop an arsenal of defensive strategies to which beetles have adapted in their turn.

Mangrove Phenology From Scale, Data and Species Perspectives
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study investigates mangrove phenology in the northern subtropical zone of Zhanjiang, China, using satellite‐derived Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) time series. Our results reveal clear annual phenological patterns with significant variation across species and datasets, highlighting the superior sensitivity of Sentinel‐2 over Landsat 8.

Intraspecific Niche Evolution in a Drought Deciduous Shrub With Implications for Climate Resiliency
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.The abstract explains that Aloysia gratissima (whitebrush) has two geographically isolated populations in North and South America that experience distinct climatic conditions. Using species distribution models, principal component analysis, and reciprocal spatial transfers, the study tested for evidence of climatic niche divergence versus conservatism ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.We assessed current and future habitat suitability for the vulnerable conifer Fokienia hodginsii across the Wuyi Mountains using climate, soil, and human footprint data, comparing four species distribution models and selecting MaxEnt as best. Climate—especially temperature ranges—dominated suitability, while soil and human influence were secondary ...
