Energy Internet, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Smart energy management systems (EMS) are entering a phase of rapid transformation. Artificial intelligence (AI)—including machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and reinforcement learning (RL)—has become the computational backbone for real‐time forecasting, scheduling, and control of renewable‐rich power systems.

The cost of promiscuity: sexual transmission of Nosema microsporidian parasites in polyandrous honey bees [PDF]
, 2015 Multiple mating (and insemination) by females with different males, polyandry, is widespread across animals, due to material and/or genetic benefits for females.

Elevation reverses the effects of forest structure on folivory and leaf asymmetry
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.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
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.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.

Genome analysis of two Pseudonocardia phylotypes associated with Acromyrmex leafcutter ants reveals their biosynthetic potential [PDF]
, 2016 The attine ants of South and Central America are ancient farmers, having evolved a symbiosis with a fungal food crop >50 million years ago. The most evolutionarily derived attines are the Atta and Acromyrmex leafcutter ants, which harvest fresh leaves to

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.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.
