Nest‐Site Selection in Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica): Patterns Consistent With the Human Proximity Hypothesis Across Three Regions of China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Whether humans facilitate or impede avian reproduction remains a matter of debate. Barn swallows preferentially seek human protection by nesting in inhabited buildings, show a marked preference for older structures. Swallow outdoor nests are higher than indoor nests. ABSTRACT Nest‐site selection is critical to avian reproductive success. Although human

First Documentation of Two Rare Fern Species in Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, Yunnan, China

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 173-176, June 2026.
We report two rare ferns in Menglun Sub‐reserve in Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province, China. These represent the first documented distribution of the previous Laotian endemic fern species in Yunnan and China as well. Our observations confirmed the shared plant diversity in China‐Laos border and also represent the need for more ...

Coupled Above‐ and Belowground Ecosystem Stability Worldwide

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 28, 18 May 2026.
Are the worlds above and below our feet in sync? This global exploration reveals an entangled fate between above‐ and belowground ecosystem stability. It identifies arid regions as hotspots for this coupling and highlights temperature stability as a vital safeguard for maintaining ecosystem balance across our warming planet.

The Larger the Egg, the Safer the Nest: A Study on the Negative Correlation Between Nest Predation Rates and Egg Size of Two Tropical Phasianids in Hainan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
There is a lack of research on the predation of tropical pheasant nests. The study conducted artificial nest experiments based on egg size and we have supported the viewpoint that using experimental eggs matched in size with those of natural eggs improves the accuracy of artificial nest simulation studies. ABSTRACT Nest predation is the principal cause

Effects of Geraniol on Survival, Reproduction, Endophytes, and Transcriptome of Tea Green Leafhoppers (Empoasca onukii)

Agronomy
Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) serve as powerful defense mechanisms that help plants mitigate pest-induced stress. Geraniol is a HIPV released by tea leaves in response to damage inflicted by tea green leafhoppers.

Seasonal home range utilization of Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) in a secondary tropical forest of Hainan Island, South China

Global Ecology and Conservation
The home range utilization of primates reflects their behavioral and ecological strategies to adapt to their environment. However, little is known about the home range behavior of endemic gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) found in a secondary tropical forest ...
