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 ...

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
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 ...

Chemical and biological controls and soil amendments for plant‐parasitic nematode management
This review synthesizes sustainable strategies for managing plant‐parasitic nematodes, emphasizing eco‐friendly biocontrol agents and soil amendments. It critically evaluates the impacts of chemical nematicides on nontarget soil organisms and advocates integrated approaches to enhance soil health, crop productivity, and agricultural sustainability ...

Ecological changes in historically polluted soils: Metal(loid) bioaccumulation in microarthropods and their impact on community structure [PDF]
International audienceSoil pollution by persistent metal(loid)s present environmental and sanitary risks. While the effects of metal(loid)s on vegetation and macrofauna have been widely studied, their impact on microarthropods (millimetre scale) and ...

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