How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.This study assessed the effects of construction‐related factors, including ALAN, on nocturnal Lepidoptera larvae in mega‐project areas. The results suggest that local environmental conditions play a greater role than ALAN intensity in shaping larval assemblages.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.This study investigates the oviposition ecology of the iconic Troidini butterflies on their host plants of the genus Aristolochia in Sabah, where we made the first observation of HR‐like cell death and neoplasm formation in response to oviposition of Troidini, signifying the first such record in the entire Magnoliid clade (> 10,000 spp.).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.Based on a desert steppe ecosystem, this study constructed four vegetation functional groups, measured their height, coverage, density, and biomass, and determined soil physicochemical properties to explore their interrelationships. ABSTRACT Grazing is a key driver of structural and functional changes in desert steppe ecosystems.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Climate warming is increasingly enabling species to cross bioclimatic barriers, driving altitudinal range expansions of species and facilitating biological invasions into ecosystems that were historically protected by low temperatures. Among these cold ecosystems are tropical alpine systems—páramos—found in the tropical Andes above 3000 m ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Theory predicts that plant defense against herbivores should be greatest towards the equator due to the strong selective pressure of more populous and diverse herbivore communities; yet recent work suggests variation in plant defense is more complex, predicting divergent patterns of investment across defense types and underlying environmental ...

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 4, Page 1738-1763, Otober 2026.ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1178-1199, October 2026.ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...

Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia
JSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 10, Page 430-439, October 2026.Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...
