Novel Worker‐Like Behavior Observed in Gynes of the Social Parasite Tetramorium microgyna
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Our article reports, to our knowledge, the first observations of inquiline gynes performing worker tasks for their host colony. We dissected these gynes to establish that they were all unmated. We hypothesize that nest excavation by social parasites represents an artifact of a non‐parasitic past.

Supplemental feeding as experimental tool to understand why birds do not lay earlier in the season
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.The timing of avian reproduction might be affected by the costs of egg production in early spring. To study these costs, supplemental feeding experiments have been conducted where birds are provided with food prior to egg laying. We discuss the opportunities and pitfalls of such experiments.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.Adjusted mowing dates and, in productive grasslands, an increased mowing frequency may benefit grassland arthropod communities under current environmental conditions. Abstract Arthropod diversity is rapidly declining in semi‐natural grasslands. Among the driving factors are nitrogen deposition and climate change, which typically increase vegetation ...
