Animal‐Mediated Dispersal and Clonal Growth Drive Prunus cerasus Invasion in Andean Temperate Forest
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Prunus cerasus reproduces by clonality and by seed dispersal and germination. P. cerasus is invading Patagonian protected areas. The relative relevance of germination and clonal reproduction changes along the time of P. cerasus arrival at a site. Seed dispersal by foxes is primarily responsible for the spread of P. cerasus to new areas.

Link prediction in ecological meta‐networks under extreme taxonomic bias
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Ecological networks offer powerful insights into community function but, without first characterizing these networks accurately, our ability to detect and interpret changes under environmental stress is limited. We develop an extension of the Covariate‐Informed Link Prediction (COIL) framework to reduce bias in ecological link prediction when ...

Ants contribute to raspberry pollination in protected cropping systems
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Ants visited raspberry flowers more frequently than European honey bees (Apis mellifera), Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria) and flies, many transporting raspberry pollen on their bodies, indicating potential pollination capacity. Ants were active flower visitors at most times of the day and may extend the daily pollination window and ...

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

Spatial and seasonal patterns of potential orchard pollinators across a Lake Ontario gradient
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Potential pollinator captures varied by season, trap height and distance from Lake Ontario, indicating that flower visitors were not evenly distributed during apple bloom. Several common bee genera, including Lasioglossum, Agapostemon, Andrena and Apis, overlapped more closely with apple bloom than the dominant retained fly genus, Toxomerus.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Four‐year field monitoring and laboratory studies revealed M. dirhodum occurs regularly in barley with high reproductive potential and extended adult longevity. Populations peaked during vulnerable crop stages, creating optimal conditions for BYDV transmission during critical infection windows. M.

Change in habitat over time for the rare, endemic Pediocactus paradinei
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Pediocactus paradinei is a rare endemic cactus on the Colorado Plateau that may be increasingly vulnerable to ongoing ecological and climatic change. In 2022, we resampled ecological monitoring plots originally surveyed in 2005 to assess changes in vegetation, habitat conditions, and characteristics related to pollinator habitat across the species ...
