Trees Inside and Outside of Forests in Guanacaste, Costa Rica: Comparisons Among Conservation Areas, Fencerows, and Urban Parks

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We compared the abundance and characteristics of trees in replicated plots across a rural to urban gradient in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Trees in urban parks, fencerows, and national parks provide complementary benefits and have distinct compositions.

Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii – enemy release and plant–soil feedbacks

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3060-3071, March 2026.
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

Climate Change‐Induced Distribution Shifts of Keratin‐Feeding Beetle Omorgus (Omorgus) suberosus: Implications for Olive Ridley Sea Turtle Lepidochelys olivacea Conservation

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 803-816, December 2025.
Our study projects significant climate change‐induced distribution shifts of a keratin‐feeding beetle Omorgus suberosus, with expansions into higher latitudes in Europe and North America and notable habitat losses in tropical regions by 2100. Ecological niche models predict a global habitat reduction of 9.5% under SSP2–4.5 and 20.8% under SSP5–8.5 ...

Analysis of morphological attributes as a driver of trade in poison dart frogs

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract The unsustainable use of wildlife is a threat to biodiversity on a global scale, and the insatiable demand is driven by the attributes of the species, their parts, and derivatives. However, not all species are equally valued; certain attributes command a higher price. One example is the exotic pet trade in amphibians and reptiles.

Unexpected spatial aggregation between two species of hummingbirds and their inconsistent spatial interactions with native and exotic plants in an urban ecological reserve

Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 4, Page 927-944, October 2025.
Hummingbirds play an important role as pollinators and are one of the primary examples of animal–plant coevolution. However, factors such as land‐use change, urbanization, exotic species introductions and the disappearance of native plants can negatively affect the persistence of hummingbird populations.
