Climate‐induced shifts in long‐term tropical tree reproductive phenology: Insights from species dependent on and independent of biotic pollination

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1286-1298, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the

Landscape features predict broad‐scale seed rain patterns across fragments of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Along with precipitation, forest cover emerges as a fundamental driver of alpha and beta diversity in the seed rain. This highlights the role of habitat amount at the landscape level over patch‐level features, like patch size, for seed dispersal. However, increased seed density can be related to higher dispersal rates in forest borders.

UNC45B Reduction With Aging: A Myofiber‐Intrinsic Promoting Factor for Sarcopenia

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2026.
Aging reduces Unc45b expression in fast‐twitch muscle, concomitant with reduction in muscle contractile capacity and muscle mass in mice. Unc45b deficiency initially reduces depolarization‐induced force, followed by a decline in fast‐twitch muscle mass in adult mice.

Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): I. The Role of Tree Structure

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
A portion of rainfall that contacts tree canopies is drained down tree stems as stemflow. Stemflow is an underexamined component of rainfall partitioning in tropical forests. To investigate how tree canopy structural attributes influence stemflow in the Brazilian Amazon, we measured stemflow, rainfall, and dendrometric parameters of 56 trees in the ...

Environmental Contamination Affects Associated Bacterial Communities in a Neotropical Arboreal Ant

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
Environmental stressors such as contamination from mining tailings can alter microbial communities associated with insects, including social ants. Ants, as widespread and ecologically influential insects with stable microbial associations, offer a relevant model to examine these effects.
