Host plant specialization and bioturbation by the Amazonian cicada Orialella aerizulae (Hemiptera: Cicadidae)

European Journal of Entomology
Adult cicadas in temperate zones are known for their synchronized, loud emergences after spending years underground as nymphs feeding on xylem sap. In contrast, the nymphal stage - where cicadas spend most of their lives - remains poorly understood ...

Savanna soil carbon accrual occurs through particulate organic matter from grass rather than tree biomass, regardless of atmospheric CO2 levels

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Afforestation schemes in savannas are increasingly promoted as a carbon storage strategy despite threats to biodiversity. We also lack a clear understanding of how trees and grasses differentially contribute to the major carbon store in savannas, that is, soil organic ...

Facilitation and competition between Acacia species and phosphorus‐mobilising plants in severely phosphorus‐impoverished habitats

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants in fire‐prone severely phosphorus (P)‐impoverished environments exhibit diverse P‐acquisition strategies coordinated with root morphological traits. Fire transiently enhances plant‐available soil P, making efficient post‐fire P acquisition crucial for seedling ...

Pollinator community composition and pollen resource use in calcareous grasslands under different landscape contexts across Europe

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In this paper, we show that pronounced differences in pollinator communities exist between grasslands embedded in contrasting agricultural landscape contexts. Opportunistic foraging strategies of most pollinators resulted in large interaction turnover, but these shifts did not translate into major changes in overall network structure, most likely as a ...

Taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a Mediterranean coastal area: implications for dune conservation in a long‐term ecological research eLTER site

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a protected coastal dune system in Central Italy, revealing strong ecological associations between moth assemblages and dune zonation. Differences in species composition and trait attributes, along with the presence of habitat‐exclusive species, highlight the role of ...

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.
