Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Biofumigation with brassica cover crops (BCCs) is gaining momentum in the United States as an ecologically sound alternative to chemical pest suppression in agricultural systems. This review critically evaluates the impacts of Brassica species on soil health, weed suppression, disease mitigation, and control of plant‐parasitic nematodes (PPNs)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Using extensive field, herbarium, and database records, we examine patterns of species richness, phylogenetic diversity, and community assembly along elevational and climatic gradients in an understudied region of Central Asia. ABSTRACT Biodiversity plays a fundamental role in ecosystem structure, function, and stability, but its response to ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The first regional survey of spontaneous plant communities across 17 cities on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau shows that natural climatic conditions, especially precipitation and wind speed, are the primary drivers of variation in community diversity, while urbanization and habitat quality jointly structure plant community composition.

Dietary Overlap of Sympatric Polyphagous Alpine Grasshoppers Includes Invasive Plant Species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The diets of three sympatric grasshopper species were compared using mandible morphological analysis, microhistological examination, and DNA metabarcoding of gut contents. Although mandible morphology differed across species and sexes, dietary divergence was not evident.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The study investigated how the horizontal structure and functional composition of grassland vegetation influence the occupancy and density of the highly endangered Hungarian meadow viper. Using plant community data and viper surveys from 59 quadrats, the best models showed that vipers prefer wetter meadows with fewer and shorter plant species, and a ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Using feral pigeons in urban environments, we show that microbiome diversity and composition vary seasonally despite stable diet composition. ABSTRACT Gut microbiomes play a crucial role in host physiology and seasonal adaptation. While seasonal shifts in avian gut microbiota are often attributed to seasonal diet variation, environmental factors may be

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Rodent population cycles are observed in highly seasonal environments. As most rodents are herbivorous, the availability and the quality of their food resources vary greatly across seasons. Furthermore, it is well documented that herbivore densities have a measurable effect on vegetation and, conversely, that vegetation dynamics can influence ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Decades of forest management in the boreal biome have involved digging drainage ditches and modifying streams to increase timber production, altering terrestrial ecosystems and expanding stream networks. Modified waterways and drainage ditches represent widespread novel aquatic and riparian ecosystems, with little known about their ...

Fine‐Scale Temporal Dynamics of the Honey Bee Hive Microbiome and Foraging Revealed by Airborne eDNA
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.Airborne eDNA collected within honey bee hives reveals diverse plant and microbial communities. While richness remains stable, seasonal shifts in plant and microbiome composition highlight dynamic resource use, demonstrating eDNA's potential for non‐invasive, fine‐scale monitoring of foraging and colony health. ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) has the
