Context‐Dependent Movement Responses of Large Carabids to Forest Gap Cuttings
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.This study investigates the effects of forest management on the movement of ground beetles within an oak‐hornbeam forest in northern Hungary. We compared a closed‐canopy control stand with various small‐scale canopy gaps. To track movement and habitat use within these treatments, two carabid species, Carabus ullrichii and C.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Melanophila acuminata's core suitable habitat is projected to shrink by ~36% and shift northwestward under high‐emission scenarios, with Northern Europe and Canada as key future conservation priorities. ABSTRACT The pyrophilous beetle Melanophila acuminata is a decomposer of freshly burned wood, playing a critical role in nutrient cycling within forest

Temporal dynamics of insect herbivory in understory trees across temperate and tropical forests
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Insect herbivory shapes forest ecosystems by affecting plant growth, nutrient cycling, and regeneration. It is commonly believed that tropical forest understories face greater insect herbivory pressure than their temperate counterparts. Yet, the magnitude of this tropical–temperate contrast remains debated. To address this gap, we examined how

Notes on invasive and expansive trees and shrubs
Journal of Forest Science, 2005 Expansion and invasion of plants indicate successful colonization and competitive abilities of species. There are fewer invasive and expansive woody plants than herbs.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Oak woodlands are among California's least protected yet most ecologically important ecosystems, providing critical habitat for a wide variety of plant and animal species. These foundational plant communities are increasingly threatened by drought, wildfire, and other climate‐driven disturbances, which have contributed to significant declines ...

Native earthworms and roe deer in temperate forests: Friends in the sun, foes in the shade
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Given increasing deer populations and rising canopy openness through tree mortality in European forests, understanding how these changes affect above‐belowground communities and ecosystem functioning is becoming more important. Earthworms comprise the largest animal biomass in European forest soils and play a central role in decomposition ...

Increasing Respiration Weakens the Carbon Sink Over Two Decades in a Temperate Deciduous Forest
Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.Using a 20‐year eddy covariance record from a temperate deciduous forest, we show that net carbon uptake declined over two decades. Both the trend and interannual variability in net carbon exchange were respiration driven, with warming winters and increasing late‐summer diffuse light driving the trend in respiration.
