Gall responses to drying habitats: Insights from the community of galling herbivores associated with the superhost Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. (Caryocaraceae)

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Drying processes in the Brazilian palm swamps or Veredas, impact the gall community in adjacent vegetation by reducing the abundance of more sensitive galls, while more resilient galls acclimate to increased dryness by developing thicker protective tissues. Abstract Galls are new plant organs formed in response to the stimuli of gall‐inducing organisms,

Water availability shapes temporal patterns of extrafloral nectar secretion and ant visitation to a Neotropical legume

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Drought duration affects ant–plant interactions: extrafloral nectar quality initially increases and subsequently declines, and ant interaction patterns closely track these nectar dynamics. Abstract Mutualistic plants use non‐structural sugar (NSC) to produce carbon‐based resources to reward partners.

Ecological divergence in the silver moss Bryum argenteum: developmental, ontogenetic and life‐history trait variations across contrasting tropical ecosystems

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Ecotypes of the cosmopolitan moss Bryum argenteum differ markedly in growth, reproductive timing, and allocation across contrasting tropical ecosystems. These patterns reveal strong environment‐ and sex‐dependent life‐history strategies, highlighting the species as a model for studying ecological divergence in bryophytes.

Resilience of floral scent emission after florivory

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Florivory is thought to affect floral traits, impacting pollination. However, our data suggest a stability in post‐florivory scent emission, which may guarantee the maintenance of pollinator visitation regardless of florivory, indicating a resilience of natural systems with multiple and simultaneous interactions. Created in BioRender. Tunes, P.

Individual variability shapes interaction rewiring and fosters ecosystem restoration by reintroduced giant tortoises in the Seychelles

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Giant tortoises are critical for restoring lost ecological interactions on islands. Following their extinction in Seychelles centuries ago, key ecosystem processes like seed dispersal, browsing, and nutrient cycling were disrupted.

Limited contribution by non‐volant small mammals to regeneration in ironstone rocky outcrops

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Animal‐mediated seed dispersal contributes substantially to natural regeneration in degraded areas. However, the role of seed dispersal by non‐volant small mammals (NVSM), mainly marsupials and rodents, in contributing to regeneration remains underexplored, especially in mountaintop, open‐canopy ecosystems.

Evaluating Bayesian Morphological Clocks for Estimating a Dated Phylogeny in a Relict and Fossil‐Rich Family of Wasps (Hymenoptera, Chrysidoidea)

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, a wide array of tools originally developed for molecular dating analyses has been adapted for use within a morphological clock perspective. This is of paramount relevance for taxonomic groups that cannot be sampled in forms suitable for DNA extraction.
