Ants do not prey upon an extrafloral‐nectar‐feeding predatory mite

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 876-885, October 2025.
The predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus is an important natural enemy of various crop pests and occurs in agroforestry coffee systems, where it feeds on the extrafloral nectar of Inga trees. Because extrafloral nectaries are often vigorously defended by ants, we tested whether ants would attack and kill the mites near nectaries.

Using Flower eDNA Metabarcoding to Identify the Effects of Forest Structure and Microclimate on Flower‐Visiting Arthropods

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
Flower eDNA reveals diverse and highly specific arthropod communities in a forest. Using sentinel plants across a gradient of forest density and tree species composition, we show that forest structure features (particularly those related to light availability) drive flower‐visiting arthropod richness.

The humus profile of an alpine ericaceous heath (Savoie, France): A high‐resolution micromorphological analysis

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract The characteristics used to distinguish between Mor and Moder differ among the various classifications of humus forms. Mor is often associated with ericaceous heathland that develops at high altitude or latitude, or in lowlands when soils are nutrient‐poor, sandy, and acidic.

The use of plant, bacterial and fungal resources in soil food webs of ecto‐ and arbuscular mycorrhiza‐dominated deciduous forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2398-2412, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil food webs, driven by complex interactions among plants, microbes and invertebrates, are crucial for carbon and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Over the last decade, it has become evident that forests dominated by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) or ...
