Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruit traits play a fundamental role in mediating plant‐frugivore interactions, shaping seed dispersal dynamics. Given the complexity of multi‐species interactions, these traits and, consequently, plant‐frugivore interactions can be indirectly influenced by third‐party ...

Life history induces markedly divergent insect responses to habitat loss
This study pioneers the use of deep learning to rapidly assess over 22,000 Amazonian insects, revealing life history‐dependent winners and losers from forest loss. It shows that terrestrial insects decline while aquatic insects thrive, with body size influencing dispersal, offering key insights for biodiversity conservation in tropical fragmented ...

Habitat‐Dependent Effects of Canopy Cover on Insect Predation in a Tropical Dry Forest Landscape
Our results reveal that arthropods, particularly chewing arthropods, were the dominant predators, and their activity was strongly influenced by both habitat type and canopy cover. Predation probability increased with canopy cover in forest plots but decreased in silvo‐pastures, highlighting an important interaction between vegetation structure and ...

ABSTRACT Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR‐RTs) are recognised as a significant evolutionary force capable of shaping the structure and function of the genomes in eukaryotes, including animals, plants, and fungi. However, much remains largely unknown about how LTR‐RTs influence the evolution of fungi at the chromosomal level.

Sensitive Environmental DNA Methods for Low‐Risk Surveillance of At‐Risk Bumble Bees
ABSTRACT Terrestrial environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques have been proposed as a means of sensitive, non‐lethal pollinator monitoring. To date, however, no studies have provided evidence that eDNA methods can achieve detection sensitivity on par with traditional pollinator surveys.
