Water amount, rather than watering frequency, structures root‐associated microbial communities and their links to plant performance

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is altering both the amount and temporal distribution of precipitation, yet drought is often simplified to a single gradient of water reduction. As a result, how experimentally imposed variation in water amount and watering frequency jointly shape root ...

Root‐associated fungi modulate plant recruitment in Mediterranean forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Established plants affect directly and indirectly the success of juvenile plants recruiting in their close vicinity, what is defined as a canopy–recruit interaction. Such interactions affect plant species demography and community dynamics.

Saline versus alkaline stresses in paddy soils drive divergent microbial nutrient limitations despite shared carbon constraints

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil salinization and alkalization often suppress microbial functional activity, triggering negative feedback loops in microbial metabolism, degrading nutrients and agricultural productivity.

Thermoregulation in Heliconius butterflies is determined by habitat association and morphology but not phylogeny

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The roles of morphology and phylogeny in thermoregulation were studied in mimetic Heliconius butterflies across habitats. Buffering ability differed among habitats, likely due to morphology. Live heating rate decreased with iridescence and forewing length. No phylogenetic signal was detected.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
