Bottom–up and top–down drivers influence urbanization effects on insect herbivory in oaks
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Urban forests provide essential ecosystem services, including pest control, biodiversity conservation, and human health benefits. Herbivory is a widespread biotic interaction that shapes ecosystem functions, such as primary productivity and soil fertility, which underpin these services.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 411-421, March 2026.Woodlands globally are threatened by environmental change and biodiversity loss. Temperate rainforests are an ecologically rich ecosystem found in wet regions of the temperate zone, and Britain has the potential for major temperate rainforest coverage in its nature‐depleted landscape.

Molecular mechanisms associated with rootstock–scion interactions in rubber trees
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) is the main source of natural rubber worldwide. In commercial plantations, high‐yield rubber tree clones are propagated by grafting onto seedling rootstocks. In this study, the transcriptomes of the RRIM 600 clone grafted on different rootstocks in southeastern Brazil were evaluated. Exclusively expressed genes

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 736-749, March 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant defence phenotypes commonly integrate physical and chemical traits that may act synergistically against herbivores, but empirical evidence for synergy as a defence strategy remains limited.

Temporal changes in the foliar chemical composition of forest trees after fire
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.This study shows that fire can change the leaf chemistry of a critical food resource for arboreal folivores. This could influence diet selection and quality after fire by altering trade‐offs between nutrient acquisition and plant defence. This has implications for our understanding of the habitat requirements for threatened folivores, particularly ...

Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.In this study, we demonstrate that urbanization intensity reduces the abundance of stem galls on Turnera subulata, while increased vegetation cover and plant vigor promote higher occurrence and abundance. These findings highlight the importance of native vegetation in sustaining specialized insect‐plant interactions and provide evidence that plant ...
