Tomato plants control leaf sodium levels to limit damage by Spodoptera littoralis larvae
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3417-3427, June 2026.Summary Sodium is an essential element for animal growth and survival. Here we test the hypothesis that plants exposed to insect feeding can translocate sodium from the feeding site to other plant organs as a defense strategy against phytophagous insects, which need sodium in their diet.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3876-3896, June 2026.ABSTRACT Allelopathic rice is increasingly recognised as a promising strategy for sustainable weed management. Resistance to the herbicide quinclorac is widespread in barnyardgrass, but it remains unclear whether allelopathic rice exerts the same defence against herbicide‐susceptible and ‐resistant barnyardgrass. We conducted integrated transcriptomic,

Induced defence by a root hemiparasite increases host plant resistance against future infection
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 1279-1288, June 2026.Infection by root hemiparasites can increase mortality of parasites during future infection, indicating induced host defence mechanisms. Abstract European grassland plants are frequently attacked by root hemiparasites. However, little is known about host defence responses to parasitism.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Plantations are the spearhead of adaptive silviculture, yet we do not understand how damage from abiotic and biotic agents relates to seedlings’ survival. In this study, we used multi‐state models, which originate from the medical field, to evaluate the relation between ‘damage history’, silvicultural treatments, and planted tree survival.

Dietary Overlap of Sympatric Polyphagous Alpine Grasshoppers Includes Invasive Plant Species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The diets of three sympatric grasshopper species were compared using mandible morphological analysis, microhistological examination, and DNA metabarcoding of gut contents. Although mandible morphology differed across species and sexes, dietary divergence was not evident.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Invasive wildflowers pose a conservation paradox: While they often reduce the diversity and abundance of native wildflowers, they can provide resources for native pollinators, including imperiled species. Previous work has framed wildflower invasions as outcomes of global change, but less is known about how interacting anthropogenic drivers ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract In addition to causing loss of biodiversity, habitat fragmentation can alter species interactions. Relative to well‐studied effects of fragmentation on mutualistic interactions like pollination, effects on antagonistic interactions remain poorly understood.
