Food Subsidy Effects on Host Foraging Behavior Shape Host–Macroparasite Infection Dynamics
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Wildlife behavioral responses to different distributions of food subsidies could shape encounter and infection intensity of environmentally transmitted parasites. Using a mathematical model, we show that the way in which food subsidy changes transmission rate and variation in parasite burdens (e.g., through changes in time spent foraging and variation ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Biodiversity enhances stream ecosystem efficiency, with greater taxonomic and trait diversity improving functions like decomposition. Shredder diversity arises from both species differences and ontogenetic variation. We experimentally examined these factors to reveal how they shape the magnitude and timing of organic matter processing in streams ...

An Energetic Tradeoff Best Explains Parturition Timing in Grizzly Bears
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Capitalizing on latitudinal denning‐chronology variation among four grizzly bear populations in interior North America, and using grizzly bear parturition dates (27 Dec–28 Feb) previously predicted from anomalous daily motion counts, we found evidence supporting the hypothesis that birth is optimally timed relative to den exit to balance an energetic ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Soil hydrological properties were significantly altered by the land‐use change. Topsoil water retention was reduced by the conversion of tropical forests into betel nut plantations. Stable soil infiltration rates were reduced by the conversion of tropical forests into betel nut plantations.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.A six‐week field trial in Australian sugarcane soil used metabarcoding, trait‐based analysis and structural equation modelling to test how vermicompost affects soil biodiversity, decomposition and nitrate leaching under tropical conditions. Vermicompost shifted bacterial community composition and accelerated decomposition, yet increased nitrate ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Birds, insects and air each host distinct fungal spore communities in a Japanese temperate forest; birds and insects act as selective vectors, while air provides maximal diversity. Our study highlights the importance of analysing multiple taxa to understand ecosystem‐level fungal spore dispersal and interactions.

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...
