Establishment of a Native Cavity‐Nesting Bee (Exoneura robusta) After Translocation Into an Urban Environment

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We translocated the native cavity‐nesting bee Exoneura robusta into an urban greenspace using artificial nests to test short‐term establishment success. Five of eleven nests persisted through a full annual cycle, demonstrating that urban environments can support early colony establishment.

Traits Explain Canopy Tree Occurrence Along Regional Environmental Gradients: A Subset Combine to Be Useful

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our paper addresses the problem of “How to predict where a tree can be found from its traits?” We show that wood density, bark thickness, maximum height and seed mass combine for a useful model of tree distributions. ABSTRACT Trait‐Species Distribution Models (trait‐SDM) help to understand the importance of plant strategies to niches, assess their ...

How Large, Decayed, and Moist Must Rotting Logs Be to Act as Thermally Buffered Microhabitats in Temperate Eastern United States Forests?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study addresses the ecological role of coarse woody debris (CWD) as a thermally buffered microhabitat for saproxylic organisms in temperate eastern US forests. We measured internal and external log temperatures across four seasons in Southern Appalachian forests to test how log diameter, decay stage, and moisture influence thermal buffering.

Solitary Confinement: Surprising Post‐Copulatory Behaviour of an Australian Species of Wishbone Spider (Mygalomorphae: Anamidae: Aname)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Araneomorph spiders are regarded as a model group for sexual selection studies, while the mating system of mygalomorph spiders remains largely unknown. We here report on the mating behaviour of an Australian wishbone spider species, involving a novel post‐copulatory behaviour for mygalomorph spiders (‘burrow plugging’).

Enhancing Stored Wheat Shelf Life: Advances in Storage Technologies, Integrated Pest Management, and Climate‐Responsive Approaches

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent advances in agricultural production and storage systems have contributed to a significant enhancement in annual wheat production and preservation, aimed at satisfying increasing consumer demands. Despite such potential developments, there are still significant post‐harvest losses in stored wheat, induced by destructive pests, grain ...
