Within‐crown microclimatic variation and growth‐stage shape oak leaf chemistry with limited consequences for herbivore performance

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mature trees exhibit distinct vertical gradients in temperature and light. These within‐crown microclimatic gradients have been linked to spatial variation in leaf chemistry and herbivory.

What's the buzz around polyploids? Plant–pollinator interactions among sympatric cytotypes in an African grassland bulb

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Polyploidisation is one of the primary ways by which instantaneous speciation may occur, since it has the potential to result in immediate reproductive isolation.

Early‐life environment drives long‐term decrease in adult body mass in a wild bird population

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using more than 90,000 body mass measures of adult and nestling great tits Parus major, we show that the 1 SD decline in adult mass between 1978 and 2024 is a consequence of changes in the environment (i.e. increase in population density) experienced at early life.

Beta diversity of Arctiinae moths (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) along a recovering tropical forest gradient

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using novel approaches of Hill‐number based and coverage‐standardized dissimilarity metrics and community‐weighted traits, we show that tiger moth communities exhibit various traits prone to land‐use intensity and undergo a complex and non‐linear response to tropical rainforest recovery, corroborating recent findings on biotic differentiation (Keck et ...

Infection and Treatment Protocols in Galleria mellonella for In Vivo Anti-Candida Drug Screening

Future Pharmacology
Background/Objectives: Galleria mellonella (G. mellonella) larvae have emerged as a valuable in vivo model for antifungal drug screening. This study aimed to determine the optimal inoculum concentrations of Candida albicans (C. albicans) in G. mellonella,

ACCOUNTING FOR BIODIVERSITY: Periphery Urbanization, Environmental Conflict, and Spatial Inequality in Monetizing the Value of Nature

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In terms of mainstream sustainability economics, market‐led initiatives aimed at biodiversity restoration represent a productive, morally conscientious choice. Under this view, efforts in areas such as biodiversity offsetting, net gain, or finance are considered effective tools for preventing or managing environmental degradation.

Offspring performance does not explain oviposition preference in the leafminer Stigmella sorbi (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae): a tri‐trophic perspective

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We studied oviposition site selection in a leaf‐mining moth (Stigmella sorbi) on rowan trees (Sorbus aucuparia) in northwestern Russia, assessing larval performance across different shoot types, leaf positions, and leaflets. Larval survival was highest on long vegetative shoots, yet females showed no preference for these optimal sites.

La polilla Copitarsia decolora: revisión del complejo de especies con base en la morfología genital masculina y de los huevos (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010
Copitarsia decolora es una especie polífaga ampliamente distribuida con un gran número de cambios nominales debido a su plasticidad fenotípica. Examinamos 14 machos de México, Colombia, Venezuela, Perú y Chile y revisamos la literatura producida entre ...
