The dual influence of top‐down and bottom‐up processes on a mesopredator and the consequences for prey

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ecosystem dynamics are shaped by interacting top‐down and bottom‐up processes, yet their relative importance may vary through time following disturbances such as disease outbreaks and changes in apex predator communities. Using a 52‐year time series in south‐central Sweden, we examined how disease, apex predators, and prey availability jointly impact a

Global threats, local opportunities: ice‐related landforms provide refugia for high‐elevation plants and arthropods

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ice‐related landforms in mountain areas have been hypothesized to play a key role in the survival of cold‐adapted species threatened by climate change. However, our understanding of such landforms acting as refugia remains speculative. Here we analyse occurrence data, collected through a standardized sampling at 471 sampling points across the European ...

Synergistic mechanisms foster declines in native fish community stability following the introduction of non‐native species

Ecography, EarlyView.
Non‐native species introductions profoundly alter freshwater communities, yet the mechanisms by which non‐native fishes affect native community stability remain unclear. Using a multi‐decadal dataset on fish community composition and abundance collected across France, we quantified native community stability and decomposed this metric into its main ...

Molecular Palaeontology Prospects From Exceptionally Preserved Eocene Brackish‐Water Bivalve Batissa sitakaraensis (Venerida: Corbiculidae) From Hokkaido, Japan

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
This study reports the exceptional preservation of the Eocene freshwater bivalve Batissa sitakaraensis from Hokkaido, Japan. Multimodal analyses reveal that both the aragonitic shell mineralogy and the delicate organic periostracum retain their original structural and chemical characteristics after millions of years.

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Enhanced spontaneous polarization in directional interlayer sliding γ‐InSe for self‐powered, all‐day visual adaptation and motion perception

InfoMat, EarlyView.
This study develops a retinal‐inspired optoelectronic sensor based on two‐dimensional γ‐InSe, wherein engineered interlayer sliding enhanced spontaneous polarization. The system utilizes the photo‐pyroelectric effect to simulate the snake's all‐day visual function.
