Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

From leaves to defenders: How the amount and dispersion of leaf damage affect extrafloral nectar production and ant‐mediated protection in wild cotton

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 395-404, April 2026.
Extrafloral nectar mediates interactions among plants, ants and herbivores; its contingency on damage amount and within‐plant uniformity is poorly understood. Here, we explore these factors in wild cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). Herbivory amount drove increases in extrafloral nectar induction per nectary, whereas within‐plant variability in damage ...

Bottom–up and top–down drivers influence urbanization effects on insect herbivory in oaks

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Urban forests provide essential ecosystem services, including pest control, biodiversity conservation, and human health benefits. Herbivory is a widespread biotic interaction that shapes ecosystem functions, such as primary productivity and soil fertility, which underpin these services.

Leaf‐chewing but not sap‐feeding herbivores create soil legacies that shape plant resistance through trait‐mediated, guild‐specific effects in Baccharis salicifolia

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 486-500, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory can affect the soil microbiome, creating legacies that affect plant resistance, but how these effects vary by feeding guild and the plant traits involved remain underexplored. We tested how soil legacies created by a leaf‐chewing caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua)

Global insular leaf size shifts follow the island rule, independently of insect herbivory and macroclimate

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
We found a positive, non‐linear, saturating relationship between mainland and island leaf sizes, reflecting an island rule‐like pattern. Small‐leaved mainland species tend to develop larger leaves on islands, while this effect weakens for larger‐leaved species, a pattern consistent across both conspecific and congeneric comparisons. Abstract The island

Drivers of plant phenolic concentration across global drylands

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study advances the understanding of how biotic and abiotic stressors shape plant defence strategies in global drylands. The findings shed novel insights about how plant secondary metabolites and their associated functions shift in response to changes in climate and grazing pressure, two key global change drivers with significant implications for ...

Mapping of resistance to corn borers in a MAGIC population of maize

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Corn borers constitute an important pest of maize around the world; in particular Sesamia nonagrioides Lefèbvre, named Mediterranean corn borer (MCB), causes important losses in Southern Europe.

Phantom Limbs: Affect, Haptics and ‘Partes De Mucha Gente’ in Mariana Enriquez's Nuestra Parte De Noche

Bulletin of Latin American Research, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
In Mariana Enriquez's Nuestra parte de noche (Our Share of Night), the insistence on narrating putrid wounds and hewn limbs seeks to reinvigorate stagnant tropes, to highlight the corporeal cruelty obfuscated by the ghostly. This article explores the association between textures and emotions, specifically questioning what it can lead to when remains ...

The forgotten, ancient olive trees of the Spanish northwest: A first molecular and botanical analysis

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2019
No country has a larger area under olive (Olea europaea subs. europaea var. europaea) cultivation than Spain. In the Spanish northwest, however, this crop has largely been forgotten, even though olive oil was once an important product of the area. Sadly,
