Intraspecific plant chemodiversity at plot level has contrasting effects on arthropod functional groups

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3732-3750, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant chemistry mediates interactions between plants and their environment. While intraspecific chemodiversity at the individual plant level is well studied, the effects of chemodiversity at the plant community level on arthropod interactions need more attention.

Ecosystem services provided by spiders

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2217-2236, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ecosystems, contributing a multitude of ecosystem services critical to human well‐being.

Efecto de los nidos de Acromyrmex lobicornis (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) sobre la descomposición de hojarasca, en el desierto del Monte

Boletín de la Sociedad Argentina de Botánica, 2018
La descomposición es un proceso fundamental de los ecosistemas. En ambientes áridos y semiáridos, estos procesos se ralentizan debido a las condiciones climáticas desfavorables para la actividad microbiana, por lo que, organismos como las hormigas se ...

Do Island Spiders Descend From Trees? – A Tale of Island Colonisation and Niche Expansion

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Oceanic islands are known for being home to drastically different communities compared to the mainland, as their isolation and limited area significantly favour clades able to travel long distances over water. On spiders, this happens mainly, although not exclusively, through ballooning whose propensity is unevenly distributed across ...

Importancia de la heterogeneidad de hábitats para la biodiversidad de hormigas en los Andes de Colombia

Acta Agronómica, 2009
Entre marzo y octubre de 2002 se compararon los ensamblajes de hormigas que forrajean en el suelo en un sistema no manejado (reserva natural El Ciprés) y en algunas fincas vecinas. En dos transectos de 100 m se instalaron estaciones de muestreo cada 10 m

Monitoreo de la reserva natural Paititi mediante el uso de grupos funcionales de hormigas (Hymenóptera: Formicidae), Buenos Aires, Argentina [PDF]

, 2017
La utilización de hormigas en programas de monitoreo es muy escasa. La excepción es Australia, en donde éstas se han utilizado exitosamente durante años como indicadoras en la recuperación de sitios impactados por la industria minera principalmente.

LIST, ASSEMBLAGE, INTERRUPTION: MIGRANT LITERATURE AGAINST STORY

History and Theory, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 413-421, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Building on the centrality of translation theory in literary studies, this essay makes the case for the utility of literature in understanding the experience of migration. Rather than assuming that this means narrative fiction or nonfiction, it explores arguments against narrative.

Deforestation and wildlife management: are elephants attracted by recently deforested areas? [PDF]

, 2019
Deforestation is a major cause or wildlife decline in tropical ecosystems. The conversion of mature forest to fields by shifting cultivation leaves behind follow lands with secondary vegetation.

Ants on flowers: Protective ants impose a low but variable cost to pollination, moderated by location of extrafloral nectaries and type of flower visitor

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 8, Page 2187-2198, August 2025.
Individuals who engage in multiple mutualisms often have to pay indirect costs because of the interference of one mutualism on another. We found that protective ants had a low but variable impact on pollination, especially on the flower visitation by bees and when EFNs are close to inflorescences.
