Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.For the first time in Gammarus insensibilis, a single‐organism 1H NMR metabolomics approach was applied to investigate the intrapopulation variability in growth trajectories showing how divergent size classes, despite being of the same age, reflect alternative resource‐allocation strategies.

Catchment Influences on Carbon Stable Isotope Variation in Trout; Might It Be Methane?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Trout stable carbon isotope values vary significantly and appear to relate to catchment characteristics. Low carbon stable isotope values are linked to catchments with low drainage soil and high cover of pasture land use. This is likely to be linked to high levels of methane‐derived carbon entering the stream food web.

Ecological Trap in the Nest: Human Hair Causes the Death of Breeding Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The prevalence of anthropogenic materials in barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) nests and their association with entanglement injury or mortality was studied. We report for the first time that hair incorporated into nests can cause entanglement mortality in barn swallows.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.We used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding across 135 temperate forest plots in Germany to examine how deadwood, tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs), and forest structure shape saproxylic arthropod communities. Structural equation modeling revealed that TreM richness and deadwood volume are key predictors of arthropod diversity, highlighting the ...

Soil Property Responses to Push‐Pull Cropping in East Africa
Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT Push‐pull technology is increasingly promoted in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly for pest management and enhancing crop productivity. However, its influence on soil properties remains understudied, despite its potential implications for soil health and sustainable soil fertility management. This study examines soil properties in push‐pull and
