Frugivory‐mediated trophic cascades: how apex predators can shape the recruitment of a fleshy‐fruited tree

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The recovery of large carnivores offers unique opportunities to study their cascading impacts on plant population dynamics. Medium‐sized carnivores, both prey and seed dispersers, are suppressed by apex predators, indirectly increasing seed‐eating rodent's populations and potentially altering plant establishment.

Increased temperature and drought do not threaten the mycelium of Tuber melanosporum in Mediterranean regions

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 556-562, March 2026.
Drought and high temperatures are expected to increase in Europe, in particular in Mediterranean regions, where black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) is mainly harvested. This fungus, living in symbiotic ectomycorrhizal association with trees, is important in forest ecosystems and agricultural diversification.

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

Integrating fecal DNA and telemetry to estimate wildlife densities in anthropogenic landscapes

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Density estimation is central to wildlife management efforts but can be challenging in anthropogenic landscapes due to small parcel sizes, access restrictions, and limited green space. We evaluated (a) the use of a plot‐based spatial capture‐recapture sampling design to estimate deer density in developed landscapes and (b) if integrating telemetry data

The phenological growth stages, heat unit requirement and anti‐tyrosinase activity of Greyia radlkoferi Szyszyl

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 549-560, March 2026.
Phenological growth stages of Greyia radlkoferi: The phenological growth stages of Greyia radlkoferi were monitored for a period of 3 years from 2018, 2019 and 2020. The flower budding, bud burst, flowering, fading, fruiting, seeding, leaf senescence and vegetative stage were recorded. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of G.

Bright and Long: Day Length Modulates the Phenology of Two Myrtaceae Species in Upper Montane Mixed Ombrophilous Forest

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Upper Montane Mixed Ombrophilous Forest is a humid montane ecosystem characterised by cold winters and a rich Myrtaceae flora. We investigated the vegetative and reproductive phenology of Myrceugenia euosma (O. Berg) D. Legrand and Siphoneugena reitzii D.

Patterns of Composition, Richness and Endemicity of Cyperaceae Across Open and Closed Habitats in Madagascar's Central Highlands

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We assessed Cyperaceae species composition, richness and endemicity across closed (forest), dry open (dry grasslands, rocky outcrops, bare dry soils), and wet open (marshes, swamps, wet grasslands, riparian areas) habitats in Isalo National Park and the Itremo Massif Protected Area, both in Madagascar's Central Highlands.

Regeneration of woody plants under isolated shrubs in a sector of the Iberá marshlands, Corrientes Province, Argentina, ethnoecological implications.

Bonplandia, 2016
A study of the natural regeneration of woody species under isolated bushes in a sector of northeast of Ibera Macrosystem is presented. The aim of the study was to evaluate the nurse effect of shrubs and structural parameters of regeneration. We show that

Home ranges, feeding sites, and daily movement behavior of the highly threatened Livingstone's fruit bat revealed through GPS tracking

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Livingstone's fruit bat GPS tracks during day‐ and nighttime on Anjouan, Comoros, identifying likely feeding sites. Abstract The highly threatened Livingstone's fruit bat, Pteropus livingstonii, is endemic to only two islands of the Union of the Comoros, a country with some of the highest deforestation rates worldwide.
