Greater climate change adaptation potential in populations of Quercus macrocarpa at edges of latitudinal gradient

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1313-1329, April 2026.
Summary With current climate trajectories, tree populations will encounter novel selection pressures that risk local extinction if they are unable to acclimate or adapt. Within a reciprocal transplant experiment with Quercus macrocarpa L. established across a latitudinal gradient, we asked: (1) Is there genetic variation within populations?

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Mitigate Drought‐Enhanced Herbivore Performance in Maize

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 2080-2094, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought events are becoming increasingly frequent and intense, posing major challenges to crop productivity. Beyond direct water stress, drought can indirectly affect plants by enhancing herbivore performance. While arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been proposed to alleviate drought stress and to enhance plant resistance to herbivory ...

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.

Characterizing the causes and consequences of calcium oxalate crystal presence in Vitis riparia

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Premise Calcium oxalate biomineralization in plants is phylogenetically widespread and morphologically diverse, but the function of these inorganic crystals is an area of active debate. The variety of environmental conditions that produce the crystals, as well as the inconsistent evidence that they provide antiherbivore defense across plant ...

Synthetic Peptide Inhibition of Trypsin‐Like Proteases in Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): Evaluating the Influence of Gut Microbiota

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 121, Issue 3, March 2026.
Synthetic peptides (GORE1 and GORE2) inhibit trypsin‐like proteases in Spodoptera frugiperda, impairing digestion and nutritional performance. Microbiota disruption did not markedly alter enzymatic inhibition but modulated certain developmental responses.
