ABSTRACT Humans play key roles in shaping the structure and processes of ecosystems globally, especially in cities. This recognition has prompted a recent focus on understanding urban systems via interactions between human social systems and ecological and evolutionary processes.

Solar parks provide heterogeneous habitats for winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods
Forest provides stable temperature and high humidity, harbouring mainly forest‐associated winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods. Grassland and abandoned farmland experience extreme temperatures, favouring mainly dry‐habitat winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods.

Fruit function beyond dispersal: effect of fruit decomposition on the plant microbiome assembly
Summary The evolutionary role of fruits has primarily been linked to seed dispersal. However, their influence on the soil and plant microbiomes subsequent to their decomposition has received no attention. We hypothesized that fruit decomposition alters the soil microbiome, and consequently the plant microbiome and performance.

Summary Increasing frequencies of severe summer droughts and plant diversity loss disrupt ecosystem functioning and stability of European grasslands. Understanding how these factors interact with pathogens is crucial. We investigated the effects of plant diversity and repeated summer drought on soil‐borne parasites within a grassland biodiversity ...

Summary Plants typically host insect communities composed of multiple trophic levels that are intricately linked through interactions mediated by the shared food plant. Hyperparasitoids are top‐level carnivores in such systems, preying on parasitoid larvae developing inside herbivores. These hyperparasitoids can dramatically reduce the effectiveness of
