Both synergism and interaction diversity explain the mixtures of defensive monoterpenes in spruce oleoresin

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Chemical defences, such as the monoterpenes of conifer oleoresin, frequently occur as complex blends of many components, but the selective pressures that maintain these mixtures are not yet known.

Does a shift to a novel host plant create a defence‐free space for a specialist herbivore species?

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While host switches can promote speciation in herbivorous insects, the benefits of switching hosts have only been ascribed to escaping competition and natural enemies. Herbivores might also escape from the defences of their ancestral host if their new host species lacks

Tracking large bees in open landscapes with active radio tags—Advantages and challenges using stationary receivers

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Studying the spatial ecology of ecologically relevant species supports the development of effective conservation strategies. Recent technological advancements in remote tracking methods now enable researchers to study large flower‐visiting insects and important pollinators, such as carpenter bees.

Bottom‐up and top‐down effects combine to drive predator–prey interactions in a forest biodiversity experiment

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study constructed a real spider–prey interaction network using metabarcoding, integrating multitrophic levels (Plant–Prey–Spider) and multiple diversity indices (taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity) to analyse how bottom‐up effects from tree communities and top‐down effects from spider communities influence spider–prey interactions in
