Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Consumer–resource interactions can shift from exploitative to mutualistic when reciprocal benefits such as nutrient exchange offset the costs of damage or mortality, though these benefits are often difficult to detect. Carnivorous pitcher plants are typically viewed as exploiters of arthropod prey, yet most visitors escape capture and may gain

A Comparative Study of iDNA and airDNA for Biodiversity Assessments in Tropical Forest Fragments
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.Comparing invertebrate‐derived DNA and airborne eDNA across fragmented tropical forests, we show that iDNA recovers higher vertebrate richness from fewer samples, while airDNA offers greater field reliability. Together, both methods capture functional diversity gradients, supporting a combined approach for agroforestry biodiversity monitoring ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 575-586, May 2026.ABSTRACT The second half of the Allerød interstadial in the Netherlands is characterised by pine forest. Excavated trunks of 165 pine trees at Leusden‐Den Treek in the central Netherlands (LETR16) were dated by dendrochronology and radiocarbon. Two chronologically separated pine forest phases occurred during relatively warm periods as recorded in ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1127-1137, May 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1286-1298, May 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Increasing local floral richness can support pollination success of specialised plants in dense urban landscapes. However, a floral enrichment strategy alone is less effective for generalist plants, which are typically more abundant in plant communities.

Bat Tongues and Foraging: Linking Morphology to Hunting Strategies
Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 540-551, May 2026.We linked the bat tongue's mediodorsal lobe (MDL), a muscular prominence, to foraging strategies. Aerial hawkers exhibit tall MDLs and prominent forward‐pointing papillae. The MDL may function as a barrier or filter, preventing unintentional ingestion of non‐food material, aiding in prey handling, and controlling food access during fast flight ...
