Shrub canopies preserve climatic niche disparity among recruit species in Mediterranean drylands

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 10, October 2026.
Shrub canopies create microrefuges for recruit diversity. Across 10 Mediterranean shrublands, recruits beneath canopies encompassed a wider range of climatic niches and greater phylogenetic diversity than those in open ground. By hosting diverse climatic strategies, plant canopies may help sustain biodiversity under climate change, offering a ...

Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 1845-1864, October 2026.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...

Preventing Invasive Non‐Native Species: A Horizon Scanning for the Canary Islands

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Oceanic islands host exceptional biodiversity and endemism but are highly vulnerable to biological invasions. We aimed to identify non‐native species with high potential to invade the Canary Islands within the next decade and to prioritise them based on their environmental and socioeconomic risks.

The Role of Environmental Parameters in the Evolution of Holm Oak (Quercus ilex L. subsp. ballota (Desf.) Samp) Decline: Studies in the Iberian Peninsula

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The combination of geographical factors (climate, slope, orientation, lithology, water availability, etc.) and the pathogenicity of agents such as the oomycete from the kingdom Straminopile Phytophthora or Pythium species causes the plant disease known as oak decline in the Iberian Peninsula. Leaving aside the presence of the pathogen, the aim

Optimising Defoliation Frequency and Intensity to Enhance Forage Accumulation in Annual Ryegrass

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, October/December 2026.
ABSTRACT To increase grazing efficiency, it is necessary to understand morphogenetic responses and how they drive forage harvest. Our objective was to evaluate defoliation frequency (time between defoliations required for the expansion of 2, 3 and 4 leaves) and intensity (low: maintenance of 50% stubble height; intermediate: maintenance of 25% stubble ...
