The feasibility principle in community ecology

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
The structure and function of ecological communities emerge from interactions among populations within specific environmental contexts. Yet we still lack general principles that explain how communities assemble, which patterns we should expect, and when transitions occur across diverse settings.

Beyond Temperature: Relative Humidity Systematically Shifts Juvenile Thermal Performance and Projected Population Growth in a Malaria Vector

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
Understanding how ectotherms respond to environmental change requires accounting for multiple interacting climatic factors; yet relative humidity is rarely integrated with temperature in trait‐based performance frameworks. Using laboratory experiments and an analytic population growth model, we show that humidity systematically modifies juvenile life ...

How multilingual is scholarly communication? Mapping the global distribution of languages in publications and citations

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 77, Issue 5, Page 699-713, May 2026.
Abstract Language is a major source of systemic inequities in science, particularly among scholars whose first language is not English. Studies have examined scientists' linguistic practices in specific contexts; few, however, have provided a global analysis of multilingualism in science. Using two major bibliometric databases (OpenAlex and Dimensions),

Overexploitation can counteract top‐down control and the paradox of enrichment in simple food chains

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Because of its high abundance or its high feeding intensity, a consumer can overexploit its resource by consuming it on a shorter timescale than resource regeneration. While this short‐term overexploitation is widespread in nature, its general implications for biotic control patterns and ecosystem stability are not clear.

The optimality‐based active region model for fingering flow in the vadose zone: Theory, model validation, and generalization

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Traditional macroscopic models for water flow in the vadose zone often assume local equilibrium within a representative element volume. However, under fingering flow this assumption breaks down on a macroscale involving sub‐grid figuring because local equilibrium does not hold between the fingering and non‐fingering domains.
