Trait‐based approaches to restoration ecology: Synthesizing insights from diverse systems

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Under accelerating global change, trait‐based approaches are emerging as essential tools in the ecological restoration toolbox. Where restoration has traditionally focused on the recovery of focal species in isolated systems, trait‐based methods can provide a common language that extends beyond species‐ or system‐specific contexts, allowing ...

Trade‐Offs in the Moonlight: Influence of Interspecific Pressures, Temperature, and Moon Phases on the Activity Patterns of Asiatic Brush‐Tailed Porcupine

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Using camera trap data from a tropical rainforest, we show that the Asiatic brush‐tailed porcupine uses behavioral trade‐offs: avoiding full moons, preferring 15°C–22°C, and shifting activity to reduce conflict with predators/competitors. This plasticity reveals how it balances foraging efficiency and survival risks, offering insights into conserving ...

Precipitation and tree biomass correlate with the diversity and functional composition of tropical rainforest cricket assemblages across climate and disturbance gradients

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Disturbance‐driven changes in rainforest structure and environmental conditions can alter ecosystem functioning, yet the consequences for invertebrate communities – key contributors to decomposition, herbivory, and trophic interactions – are not fully understood, particularly in relation to structural changes in vegetation.

Remote sensing and geospatial analysis for the study of plant community regeneration in human‐modified landscapes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Natural regeneration is essential for maintaining functionally diverse and resilient plant communities in human‐modified landscapes. To design and implement successful conservation and restoration initiatives in these landscapes, research on the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of natural regeneration must be scaled up beyond ...

Phenological shifts and increases in voltinism within a moth community over a century of anthropogenic change

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In temperate ecosystems, warming temperatures can advance spring phenology, extend autumn phenology, disrupt dormancy regulation, result in phenological mismatch across taxa, and even lead to increases in the number of generations per year (i.e., increases in voltinism).

Insect herbivores reduce plant biomass loss and enhance plant recovery in response to extreme drought

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Plant species are responding to anthropogenic climate change by expanding their distributions to higher latitudes and altitudes. This is generating novel communities consisting of a mixture of range‐expanding and native plant species. These communities are increasingly subject to extreme droughts and are shaped by herbivory.

Detection of Hidden Volumetric Changes Caused by the Southern Green Stink Bug, Nezara viridula, on Soybean Pods Using Micro‐CT Imaging

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an important arable crop playing a major role in human nutrition and animal feed. Piercing‐sucking pests are compromising the safety of soybean cultivation worldwide, mostly by their enzyme‐containing saliva causing deformation, and tissue death within the pierced plant parts.

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.
