Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1311-1325, August 2026.
Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...

Leukocyte profiles reveal sex and age differences in immune investment in a polygynous bat

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1453-1463, August 2026.
Analysis of over 500 blood cell profiles, including repeat samples over four years, reveals that male bats from a long‐lived species with a polygynous mating system invest more in innate than adaptive immunity. Investment in innate immunity increases with age, as estimated by a DNA methylation clock and mark‐recapture data.

Artificial exposure to herbivore‐induced volatile organic compounds reduces herbivory and modulates gene expression in potato plants

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
These findings provide strong mechanistic evidence for VOCs mediating pest resistance and suggest that exposure to herbivore‐induced, plant‐derived VOCs can enhance pest resistance in potato crops. These results might offer novel information for developing ecologically sustainable plant volatile‐based strategies for boosting protection against pests in

Artificial Light at Night Does Not Elicit Transgenerational Effects in the Pacific Field Cricket, Teleogryllus oceanicus

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a pervasive anthropogenetic pollutant and a powerful chronodisruptor, as it can mask environmental light cues and negatively influence circadian and seasonal biological processes. Within‐generation negative effects of ALAN have been recorded across a broad range of species. However, few studies have explored

The immunity paradox: how do plants survive without adaptive immunity?

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY Higher plants and mammals exist in similar microbial environments and face similar challenges from microbial pathogens. Both taxonomic groups encode proteins capable of recognizing and triggering responses to pathogens; however, their recognitional capacities differ substantially.

Melatonin as a protector against endocrine disruption across tissues: A systematic review

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 15, August 2026.
Graphical Abstract showing the biological mechanisms by which melatonin protects tissues against endocrine disruption. Abstract Endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are widespread environmental pollutants that interfere with hormonal homeostasis and contribute to multisystem toxicity.
