Ten Strategies to Promote Climate Resilience and Sustainability of Global Forests

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 17, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Ten integrated strategies show how forests worldwide can withstand climate threats, protect biodiversity, and sustain human livelihoods through smarter conservation, diverse planting, community‐led action, adaptive management, and innovative governance, securing our future in a rapidly changing climate.

Size variation of an herbivorous insect affects host plant damage: Mechanisms behind the effect

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1504-1516, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Intraspecific trait variation can strengthen or weaken species interactions in ecological communities. A mechanistic understanding of how intraspecific variation affects species interactions will help identify general rules about when intraspecific variation strengthens

Defence traits vary across leaf ages in the thistles (Cardueae)

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1517-1531, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants produce a variety of structural and chemical defences to deter herbivores, which can covary across every scale of biological organization. Along these lines, it has been suggested that young leaves differ from old leaves in their defence strategies, but studies ...

Higher and more stable biological control of multiple herbivore species in diversified strip cropping systems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our results highlight that strip cropping can enhance and stabilize biological control. Even simple two‐crop designs provide clear benefits over monocultures, while increasing crop diversity to six crops offers additional advantages. Because the temporal stability of biological control increases with crop diversity, designing strip cropping systems ...

Tree‐based modelling of ecosystem services and climate‐adaptive silviculture strategies

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our years‐long collaboration contributed to a robust scientific basis for the next TVSF management plan, which is currently under development. More broadly, our findings demonstrate the adaptive capacity of communities in sparsely managed climate vulnerable forests is likely insufficient to offset declines in desired ecosystem services.

The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.

Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...

Feeding ecology of Australian Christmas beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae): Implications for conservation and habitat management

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Christmas beetles (subfamily Rutelinae, genera Anoplognathus, Calloodes and Repsimus) are an ecologically important and culturally significant group of Australian scarabs, known for their striking appearance and seasonal mass emergences. Over the last decade, anecdotal reports suggest widespread population declines, raising concerns about ...

Frost Decreases Fruit Production in a Neotropical Savanna: Implications for Frugivorous Bird Abundances

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
Severe frost events seem to be happening on average every 5 years, rather than 7 years, as previously reported in the southern limit of the Cerrado, a Neotropical savanna. We conducted this study in the Cerrado, where severe frost events allowed us to compare fruit production and frugivorous bird abundance before and after the disturbance.
