Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 497-511, November 2025.
Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental

Linking anatomical diversity with functional life strategies in a liana community of central Africa

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1225-1244, November 2025.
Summary Studying lianas involves unique challenges due to their high functional diversity. Despite their prominence in tropical forests, gaps in the understanding of anatomical organisation affect interpretations of their co‐existing functional strategies.

Photosynthetic Heat Tolerance Partially Acclimates to Growth Temperature in Tropical Montane Tree Species

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 11, Page 7848-7861, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Climate warming increases the risk of harmful leaf temperatures in terrestrial plants, particularly in tropical tree species that have evolved in warm and thermally stable environments. We examined heat tolerance thresholds of photosynthetic light reactions in sun‐exposed leaves of 12 tropical montane tree species with different strategies for

Genomic Evolution and Patterns of Horizontal Gene Transfer in Coccomorpha Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study reveals the genomic adaptations of Coccoidea pests through comparative analysis of five chromosome‐level genomes. Key findings include whole‐genome duplication events, expansion of antioxidant‐related gene families, horizontal gene transfer for nutrient metabolism, and species‐specific detoxification mechanisms linked to pesticide resistance.

Jumping plant-lice of the Paurocephalinae (Insecta, Hemiptera, Psylloidea): systematics and phylogeny [PDF]

, 2003
Much confusion exists with respect to the content and definition of the psyUid subfamily Paurocephalinae. Based on a cladistic analysis of 22 morphological characters (16 adult and 6 larval), the subfamily is redefined to comprise the following five ...

Rhizosheath Characteristics of Annual Ephemerals in Sandy and Gravelly Habitats of Northern Xinjiang Deserts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
The rhizosheath is an important root trait that plays a critical role in enhancing plant uptake of water and nutrients, contributing to the adaptation of plant species to specific environmental conditions. This study investigates the formation and characteristics of rhizosheaths in annual ephemeral plants in the desert environment of northern Xinjiang ...

Metabarcoding Reveals Fine Scale Patterns of Trophic Resource Use and Partitioning Along Gradients of Land Use and Deer Density in a Multi‐Species Ungulate Community

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We used DNA metabarcoding of 2,568 fecal samples to examine seasonal diets and resource partitioning among four deer species (moose, roe deer, red deer, fallow deer) across two Swedish landscapes. Deer consumed a wide range of plants, but diets were typically dominated by a few key taxa, with distinct dietary separation between moose and smaller deer ...
