Frugivore Declines Across Taxa Affect Forest Biomass

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
We examined how frugivore declines affect aboveground biomass in 260 1‐ha forest plots across Gabon using imputed frugivory networks between 122 frugivores and 99,349 trees. Simulated frugivore declines across Gabon tended to reduce aboveground biomass, with effects varying by taxon and geography.

Variation in Climate Shapes Seedling Recruitment Along Resource Gradients in a Northern Hardwood Forest

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Seedling counts over 26 years revealed that wetter‐site temperate tree species struggle to recruit in warmer, drier years, whereas drier‐site species are more climate‐tolerant. Shadier forests buffered seedlings from heat and drought. Local soils and canopy cover strongly shaped outcomes, revealing considerable differences among species in climate ...

Vegetation, Water Infiltration, and Soil Carbon Responses to Adaptive Multi‐Paddock and Conventional Grazing in Northern Great Plains, USA, Ranches

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Adaptive Multi‐Paddock (AMP) grazing involves alternating short‐duration, high‐intensity grazing with extended recovery periods. It offers the potential to regenerate degraded rangelands while enhancing productivity. We compared vegetation, soil carbon, and water infiltration responses between nine matched pairs of ranches in North and South ...

Cabomba caroliniana and Schoenoplectus californicus as Antifouling Candidates: Anti‐Attachment and Toxicological Effects in Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 356-372, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

Predation on Artificial Caterpillars Varies With Vertical Stratification but Not Light Gradients in a Sugar Maple Temperate Forest

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 559-569, June 2026.
Predation pressure varies vertically, with highest arthropod predation in the understory and highest bird predation in the canopy. Light availability differs across vertical strata, but predation patterns are more strongly influenced by height and forest structure than by light gradients.

Leaf Extracts of Coffea racemosa Inhibit Trypsin Activity and Affect Larval Development in Spodoptera frugiperda and Diatraea saccharalis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 527-535, June 2026.
Leaf extracts of Coffea racemosa inhibit digestive trypsins and impair the development of two major lepidopteran pests, Spodoptera frugiperda and Diatraea saccharalis. While both species showed significant enzymatic inhibition, biological responses differed markedly. D. saccharalis exhibited high mortality, whereas S.

Phylogenetic history shapes the composition of floral scents in a specialized pollination mutualism

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3428-3443, June 2026.
Summary Most studies of the chemical ecology of plant–pollinator interactions emphasize the role of pollinator‐mediated selection in shaping floral scent composition. Nevertheless, phylogeny may constrain the metabolic pathways underlying these profiles, thereby influencing the evolutionary trajectory of the emitted signals.

Constitutive and inducible oleoresin defenses share genetic architectures and mechanisms in Pinus taeda

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2966-2987, June 2026.
Summary The oleoresin defense system of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) protects trees from insects and pathogens and is an important source of renewable biofuels and chemicals, but the genetic basis of oleoresin production is poorly understood. We characterized the genetic architecture of oleoresin flow, resin canal number, stem wood terpene content, and ...
