The contribution of small trees to carbon stocks along a recovery gradient in the Amazonia

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Most ecological knowledge about carbon recovery during natural regeneration in tropical regions has focused on individuals exceeding 10 cm in diameter. However, the contribution of smaller individuals to aboveground carbon (AGC) across successional gradients remains poorly quantified, despite their potentially substantial role during early ...

Herbaceous Plants in Forest Ecosystems: One Hundred Fundamental and Applied Questions

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Herbaceous plants (herbs) found in the understory of forests contribute substantially to the biodiversity of these ecosystems, as well as being important socio‐culturally, economically, and for advancing ecological theory. However, the ecology of herbs is less well understood compared with woody plants, despite evidence that herbs are ...

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 660-674, May 2026.
Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.
