Selecting for Seed Size Diversity Can Support a Variety of Plant Colonization Strategies in Caatinga Restoration

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Seed traits offer valuable insights into colonization strategies under climatic unpredictability. In seasonally dry tropical forests, such traits help explain species adaptations to water availability, which is critical for effective restoration.

Moonlight Duration and Intensity Favour Nocturnal Activity in a Diurnal Desert Bird

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 629-641, September 2026.
Accelerometer data show that Canarian houbara bustards increase nocturnal activity two‐ to fivefold when the moon is visible, with activity rising as moonlit duration and illumination increase. Both display and non‐display behaviours peaked around full moon, reaching up to half of peak daytime levels, with males increasing visual displays during ...

Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.
To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

Projected Climate‐Suitable Area for Apis mellifera (Apidae) and Its Spatial Overlap With a Mining Tailings Footprint in South‐East Brazil

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1017-1024, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change and environmental disasters can jointly impact species distributions and ecosystem stability, including pollinators and the resources they rely on. We used occurrence and climate data to predict the distribution of Apis mellifera in the Doce River Basin, south‐east Brazil, under baseline and future scenarios (2050).

Riding the Storm: Microeukaryote Community Responses to Hurricane Disturbance

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Sandy beaches are dynamic ecosystems where terrestrial and marine organisms coexist, resulting in diverse communities where microeukaryotes (protists, microalgae, and meiofauna) are key drivers. Understanding their diversity patterns and responses to stressors is essential for elucidating ecological processes, yet information on this subject ...
