Intensive management negatively impacts field margin ecosystem service indicators at both field and landscape levels

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Vegetated field margins generally increase plant biodiversity and connectivity in agricultural landscapes. They can deliver ecosystem services, such as providing food and shelter for insects, or maintaining biotic regulation. But they can also represent a risk, for example by hosting competitor plants or cultivated crop pests. In this work, we

Longitudinal Monitoring of Systemic Cytokines After Mild Zika Virus Infection Revealed an Association Between Th17 Polarization and Clinical and Serological Outcomes

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Zika virus (ZIKV) is a neurotropic virus that can cause a variety of neurological manifestations, ranging from mild forms to severe disorders like Guillain–Barré syndrome and congenital Zika syndrome. The pathophysiology of these complications is not fully understood, but they have been linked to host immune responses, particularly a ...

The Diverse Reactions of Butterflies and Zygaenids (Lepidoptera) to Climate Change—A Large Scale, Multi‐Species Study

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim An extensive dataset was used to decipher the different responses of 46 species of butterflies and Zygaenids (Lepidoptera) to climate change. The study included more than 1.5 million observations from four databases in Europe, with a south–north extension of about 1200 km from south‐eastern France, via Switzerland and Baden‐Württemberg ...

Dung beetles, but not rodents, contribute to brown bear feces removal, disaggregation, and secondary seed dispersal

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Seed dispersal by endozoochory is essential to plant dynamics, but once released in the feces, the seeds face a hostile environment that is not always favorable to germination. Indeed, feces may contain inhibitors, have high seed density, and be densely structured.

Aedes albopictus Is Rapidly Invading Its Climatic Niche in France: Wider Implications for Biting Nuisance and Arbovirus Control in Western Europe

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
Aedes albopictus is invading Western Europe, causing autochthonous cases of arboviral diseases. Through a mechanistic modeling framework, we simulated the impacts of climate changes on the extension of the area environmentally suitable for the presence of this vector and for the transmission of arboviruses.

Plant Communities in the Americas Are Highly Bee Dependent Regardless of Biome or Local Bee Diversity

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim All bees depend on angiosperms for survival, while many angiosperms depend on bees for reproduction. However, bee and flowering plant species richness do not peak in the same geographical regions of the world, suggesting that the flora in regions where bees are not as diverse, such as the tropics, may be relatively less bee‐dependent.

INSECT LIFE AND LETTERS: THE STUDIES OF HANNS HEINZ EWERS AND OTTO AND ROSE HECHT

open access: yesGerman Life and Letters, Volume 78, Issue 3, Page 342-363, July 2025.
ABSTRACT This article argues that vast histories of war and displacement in the twentieth century are connected to the small and almost unnoticeable lives of insects, and that philology has much to gain from paying attention to insect worlds. We examine two case studies: the work of the German entomologist Otto Hecht and his wife, Rose Caro Hecht, and ...

High Temporal Beta‐Diversity of Pollinators in Early Successional Forests After Windthrow

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
We described the temporal dynamics of vascular plants and pollinating insects by sampling the same windthrow sites after 3 and 5 years from a major storm event in the Italian Alps. Pollinator communities exhibited high temporal β‐diversity, while the understory plant community changed the least.

Prolonged Zika Virus NS1 Protein Circulation in Patient Sera Impacts Clinical Outcome Before the Rise of a Specific IgM Response

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Zika virus (ZIKV) is a neurotropic virus that can be transmitted congenitally. In ZIKV‐infected pregnant women, placental dysfunction is associated with the secretion of nonstructural protein 1 (NS1). In this study, the kinetics of NS1 secretion and antibody response were assessed and characterized in the serum of ZIKV‐positive adult patients ...

Handbook of protocols for standardized measurements of floral traits for pollinators in temperate communities

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 988-1001, May 2025.
Abstract Floral traits describe organs or structures directly related to plant reproduction, and they are essential to understanding plant–pollinator interactions, notably for conservation purposes. The growth of plant trait‐based approaches lies in the availability of data shared by the international research community on dedicated platforms, as well ...
