The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Searching for the beasts in the archive as methodological praxis
Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.This article offers searching for the beasts in the archive as a methodological tool available to researchers invested in both anticolonialism and antianthropocentrism. By focusing on three basic units of reference—categories, histories, and borders—the article shows how searching for the beasts unsettles some taken‐for‐granted assumptions that ...

Yeasts on Tree Gum: Taxonomic, Genetic and Phenotypic Diversity
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.Taxonomically highly diverse yeasts are associated with sour cherry gum, including genetically and physiologically heterogeneous Metschnikowia pulcherrima strains that antagonise other fungi by releasing pulcherriminic acid. ABSTRACT Depending on their composition, exudates oozing from trees can support or inhibit the growth of microorganisms.

Plant Disease, 2014 Thousand cankers disease (TCD) is a disease complex caused by the fungus Geosmithia morbida Kolařik (Ascomycota, Hypocreales) and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis Blackman 1928 (Coleoptera, Scolytinae; walnut twig beetle, WTB). Since the mid-1990s, the disease was responsible for widespread mortality of many walnut species in the United States (4 ...

Mycorrhizal legacy mediates seedling success following timber harvesting in Northeastern forests
Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 5, July 2026.Abstract Overstory trees rely on arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi for establishment and growth. However, we know very little about how timber harvesting affects the biotic (e.g., mycorrhizal fungi) and abiotic (e.g., nutrient availability) legacies left behind by AM and EcM trees.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Small saproxylic beetles and parasitoids peaked soon after the disturbance. Large saproxylic beetles and predatory beetles were more abundant in the next year. Life‐history traits and density‐dependence interactions shaped insect responses. ABSTRACT Saproxylic beetles (dead wood‐dependent) are among the organisms that can benefit from the conditions ...
