Anti‐Predation and Size‐Dependent Gas Exchange Functions of Amazonian Architect Cicada Towers

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Clay towers built by cicada nymphs before metamorphosis are poorly understood. We experimentally show that towers of the Amazonian cicada Guyalna chlorogena reduce predation risk and exhibit size‐dependent growth responses to gas exchange obstruction, supporting their interpretation as adaptive extended phenotypes.

Animal–Plant Interactions Under Defaunation: Consequences for Amazonian Trees of Commercial Interest

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We experimentally investigated the effects of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal defaunation on the removal and fate of seeds from economically important forest species in Amazonian forests. Our results show that mammal exclusion significantly reduced seed removal, although the magnitude of this effect varied among plant species.

Beyond Ecology: How Environmental and Social Landscapes Shape Tropical Forest Restoration in Southeast Brazil

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Restoration was more associated with environmental variables than socioeconomics. Active restoration was utilized in degraded areas and pasture abandonment favored natural regeneration. Successful tropical restoration is dependent on a complex interdependent mix of factors.

Exploring Young Autistic Children's Family and Independent Digital Experiences at Home

open access: yesChildren &Society, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 254-264, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated how young autistic children engaged with digital technologies within the home context. Studying the everyday lives of three families in Queensland, Australia provided opportunities to identify the digital technologies they used and the purpose and potential of the children's digital interactions.
