Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 660-674, May 2026.Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 1950-1965, April 2026.ABSTRACT Plant defensins (PDFs) are cysteine‐rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are important components of plant immunity. They occur constitutively in various plant tissues but are also upregulated upon stress. Therefore, these molecules are of great interest as markers for the diagnosis of early forest stress response in plants at the molecular

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 924-938, April 2026.Drying processes in the Brazilian palm swamps or Veredas, impact the gall community in adjacent vegetation by reducing the abundance of more sensitive galls, while more resilient galls acclimate to increased dryness by developing thicker protective tissues. Abstract Galls are new plant organs formed in response to the stimuli of gall‐inducing organisms,

Phylogenomics illuminates the complex evolutionary history of Bibionomorpha (Diptera)
Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.Phylogenomics supports Bibionomorpha (Anisopodoidea, Bibionoidea, Scatopsoidea, Sciaroidea) as a sister to Brachycera, and Axymyiidae and Perissommatidae as a sister to Bibionomorpha + Brachycera. Phylogenetic network analysis tentatively suggests a possible reticulation leading to Bolitophilidae, and mitochondrial data support sex‐specific ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.Mitogenomes from 166 Eurytomidae confirm Eurytoma is polyphyletic; 10 species groups are recovered in Eurytoma s.s., and several lineages are reassigned to other genera or newly delimited clades. Conservative head and mesosoma traits, especially the postgenal depression and ventral shelf, track mitogenomic clades closely, supporting their diagnostic ...

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.In this study, we demonstrate that urbanization intensity reduces the abundance of stem galls on Turnera subulata, while increased vegetation cover and plant vigor promote higher occurrence and abundance. These findings highlight the importance of native vegetation in sustaining specialized insect‐plant interactions and provide evidence that plant ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim To describe and compare the diets of an Arctic‐breeding shorebird, the Red Knot (Calidris canutus), across three geographically distinct breeding sites. We aimed to document the dietary patterns and identify key prey groups that characterise each population's foraging ecology.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We developed the MPG Ranch Arthropod Library (MPG‐AL), a COI DNA barcode reference library for arthropods of the Northern Rocky Mountains, to address gaps in barcode coverage for the western United States. From 86,533 specimens collected in Montana, we generated 52,270 DNA barcodes spanning 38 orders and 1793 species, adding 5154 Barcode Index Numbers (

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Geranium sylvaticum*
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.Geranium sylvaticum is a perennial forb of upland grasslands, woodlands and riverbanks in northern Britain, with scattered native occurrences also in Wales, central England and Northern Ireland. It has an extensive native range in Europe and Asia. The species is gynodioecious, with individual plants typically female or hermaphrodite.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 126-140, February 2026.Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.
