Autumn inversion tillage reduces beneficial arthropods and delays their recovery into the following crop growing season

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Responses to tillage were taxon‐specific and likely depended on life‐stage and the dependency on structural habitat complexity. Management should balance trade‐offs between retaining local communities, meeting the needs of multiple taxa, and accounting for taxonomic and functional richness over time.

Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere: Roles in Nutrient Cycling, Bacterial Community Structure, and Animal‐Mediated Dispersal

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

Contrasting effects of temperature across trophic levels in geothermally warmed soil food webs

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Global warming is altering the structure and dynamics of ecological communities, with significant consequences for soil food webs. Rising temperatures are expected to accelerate metabolic rates in organisms, potentially altering species interactions, and the structure and energetics of food webs.

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.
