Different Effects of Induced Plant Defense on Population Densities of Specialist and Generalist Insects: An Explanation by Mathematical Modeling

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Induced defense chemicals in plants determine the community structure of different insect (herbivore) groups. In particular, specialists are endemic and generalists are non‐endemic in the wild because of the ecological roles of induced secondary metabolites.

From Suitability to Invasion Risk: Integrating Correlative and Mechanistic Models for Predicting the Potential Distribution of the Red Palm Weevil

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The invasive Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (RPW) causes severe economic and ecological damage to palm systems worldwide. This study develops a hybrid modeling framework integrating correlative ecological niche models and a temperature‐driven mechanistic risk index, demonstrating superior predictive accuracy (sensitivity = 0.98) compared to individual ...

Host Call Frequency Drives Attractiveness to an Eavesdropping Micropredator

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Acoustic sexual signals are vulnerable to interception by eavesdropping unintended receivers, and signals are thus influenced by interacting selection pressures. Frequencies of 0.5–1.4 kHz attracted frog‐biting midges (Corethrella spp.) and closely matched the lowest‐calling local frog species.
