Overexploitation can counteract top‐down control and the paradox of enrichment in simple food chains

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Because of its high abundance or its high feeding intensity, a consumer can overexploit its resource by consuming it on a shorter timescale than resource regeneration. While this short‐term overexploitation is widespread in nature, its general implications for biotic control patterns and ecosystem stability are not clear.

Meteorological versus spatial drivers of the spatial synchrony of forest insect pest outbreaks in North America

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Spatial synchrony of population fluctuations has major consequences for the impacts of forest insect pest outbreaks at regional scales. We tested the predictions that the strength and drivers of this synchrony would differ among species according to their dispersal abilities and feeding guilds.

Efficacy evaluation of pneumatic solid set canopy delivery system to control powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) in Washington vineyards

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4815-4828, May 2026.
The findings of this study indicate that powdery mildew control achieved with the pneumatic solid set canopy delivery system (PSD‐SSCDS) was comparable with that of a conventional airblast sprayer. These results highlight the PSD‐SSCDS as a promising alternative spray technology. Abstract BACKGROUND In this study, a previously optimized pneumatic spray

Internal physiological drivers of leaf development in trees: Understanding the relationship between non‐structural carbohydrates and leaf phenology

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1151-1164, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phenology is crucial for understanding plant growth and climate feedback. It affects canopy structure, surface albedo, and carbon and water fluxes. While the influence of environmental factors on phenology is well‐documented, the role of plant intrinsic factors ...

Below the leaves: Integrating above‐ and below‐ground phenology for earth‐system predictability

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1251-1269, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Almost every aspect of biological systems has phenology—a pattern in activity or function linked to annual cycles. Most terrestrial phenology research focusses on leaves, the onset of leaf out or senescence.

Landscape, stand and tree characteristics influence the distribution of lightning damage in Central African forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1385-1398, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The impact of lightning in tropical forests remains uncertain. Specifically, the factors that influence the spatial distribution of lightning damage within forests remain unknown.

Low‐nitrogen addition amplifies the positive effect of grazing exclusion on plant diversity and community stability

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1352-1368, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Grazing exclusion is widely used for grassland restoration but often improves productivity slowly, whereas nitrogen (N) addition can rapidly boost productivity yet may erode plant diversity and community stability over the long term.
