Enhancing crop resilience through elite pre‐breeding lines with key traits for dry direct‐seeded rice

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Dry direct‐seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.; DDSR) is an alternative to transplanted puddled rice (TPR) that enhances water use efficiency and mechanization and reduces labor, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and global warming potential (GWP). To address the limited availability of DDSR‐suitable varieties, we initiated a genomic‐assisted breeding ...

Rooted disruptions: Below‐ground herbivory drives contrasting natural enemy foraging for hosts and prey

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3704-3717, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although research on below‐ground multitrophic interactions has increased, comparative studies examining how root herbivores influence the foraging behaviour of different natural enemies—especially generalist predators—remains limited.

Nutritional geometry provides insight into the dual roles of natural and sexual selection in insect cuticular hydrocarbon evolution

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3646-3658, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Interactions between natural and sexual selection have been integral to the development of sexual selection theory, yet the role of natural selection in sexual trait evolution has received far less empirical attention than the role of sexual selection, and the extent to

Wildfire disturbance and ecological cascades: Teasing apart the direct and indirect effects of fire on tick populations

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3421-3435, December 2025.
This study highlights the importance of integrating multiple data sources and ecological scales to predict wildfire impacts on ecosystems and public health. By advancing our understanding of wildfire effects on ticks, the research offers valuable insights for ecosystem management and disease vector control.
