High‐quality litter drives a stronger home‐field advantage of leaf decomposition in young plantations

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 97-112, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐field advantage (HFA) describes the tendency of litter to decompose accelerated in its native habitat than in other environments. Although the interactions between soil fauna and microbial communities during litter decomposition are well documented, the specific ...

Repeated Independent Formation of Triploid Lineages Contributes to Clonal Diversity in Heteronotia binoei Parthenogens

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Parthenogenesis, or all‐female clonal reproduction, is rare among vertebrates. This is often attributed to the selective disadvantages of assumed reduction of genetic diversity in the absence of sex. However, parthenogenetic vertebrates have highly complex evolutionary histories, with most arising through hybridisation and many being polyploid.

Death by a Thousand Ants: Predation on Grasshoppers by Invasive Ants in a Grassland

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Invasive ants are known to disrupt litter‐dwelling arthropod communities, but their impacts on large, mobile aboveground insects are less clear. We document predation by the invasive tawny crazy ant (Nylanderia fulva) on adult grasshoppers in a coastal tallgrass prairie, where nearly half of tethered individuals were killed within 24 h, and stable ...

Bryo‐zoophily: a new look at the ecology of moss and animal interactions

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 2275-2299, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Interactions between plants and animals often play a major role in the ecology of both partners. While such interactions are well studied in vascular plants such as angiosperms and gymnosperms, they are less well understood in bryophytes. However, an extensive search of the scientific literature reveals several cases of known and suspected ...
