Asphalted parking lots are environmental filters for multiple propagule dispersal and pollination strategies

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Understanding community assembly for wild species in anthropogenic settings has become increasingly important as biodiversity and ecosystem services are threatened by development pressures. Urban hardscape habitats such as parking lots are widespread, extreme, terrestrial anthropogenic environments that influence plant community assembly by way of ...

Signatures of Wild Animal Life in Earth's Landscapes

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Animals shape Earth surface processes and landforms by displacing Earth surface materials and by making them more or less susceptible to geophysical processes. Despite increased recognition of the global significance of animal landscape “signatures”, analysis of their magnitude and generality has not been possible until now.

Elevation reverses the effects of forest structure on folivory and leaf asymmetry

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1061-1073, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Centuries of timber production have homogenized many forests by reducing variation in canopy density and deadwood availability, with far‐reaching consequences for biodiversity and trophic interactions.

Species‐specific scents, targeted enemies: Volatile cues mediate predator attraction in willows

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1074-1087, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in response to herbivory. Such signals mediate plant interactions with herbivores and their natural enemies. Different herbivores can elicit distinct responses in plants, influencing predator attraction.

Mammalian herbivory indirectly shapes savanna arthropod communities but only at very low or high levels

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 658-671, April 2026.
This study investigates how large mammalian herbivores shape arthropod communities in African savannas, using a broad gradient of herbivory types and intensities to assess these effects under real‐world, non‐experimental conditions. Abstract Savanna ecosystems support unique biodiversity and provide livelihoods for millions of people.

Towards a Novel Biocontrol Strategy: High Performance of Optimised Cell Wall‐Degrading Enzymes Secreted by Escovopsis primorosea LBM 277

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Escovopsis primorosea LBM 277 efficiently produced proteases, β‐1,3‐glucanases and chitinases under submerged fermentation using Leucoagaricus gongylophorus cell walls and Mandels complex. RSM‐BBD optimization significantly increased enzyme activity. The enzymatic cocktail remained stable for 30 days at room temperature and pH 4–6, aligning with the ...

LEAF CUTTING ANTS OUTSIDE THE EUCALYPT PLANTATIONS

open access: yes, 2011
Existe uma grande dificuldade em aperfeiçoar as técnicas de manejo de formigas cortadeiras, sobretudo no que diz respeito aos sauveiros externos localizados próximos a plantios florestais. Por causa disso, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo caracterizar aspectos como tamanho e distância de sauveiros externos em plantações de eucaliptos.
