Comparative foraging ecology of lynx and coyotes in three Gulf of Alaska national parks

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Consumers exhibit varying degrees of dietary specialization, with foraging strategies shaped by both evolutionary history and local food availability. In boreal systems, Canada lynx are considered snowshoe hare specialists, whereas coyotes are classically generalist foragers capable of exploiting diverse resources.

When wolves aren't enough: revisiting trophic cascades in northern Wisconsin

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Elimination of top predators has allowed large herbivores to flourish in many terrestrial ecosystems, transforming food webs and ecosystem functions. Restoration of large predator communities is hoped to reverse negative effects of this trophic downgrading, but evidence for such effects is elusive.

Between birch and berries: seasonal dietary niche partitioning among sympatric alpine herbivorous birds

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Niche partitioning is important for the coexistence of closely related species, allowing species to reduce overlap in resource use despite shared ecological requirements. In alpine environments, harsh climatic conditions and low habitat complexity constrain opportunities for ecological segregation, making seasonal resource fluctuation especially ...

Testing optimal defense theory: Root resistance selection in chicory (Cichorium intybus) reduces foliar defense and alters aphid performance and feeding behavior

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7951-7960, August 2026.
Root‐focused resistance in chicory reduces defenses in leaves, impairing root aphids but enhancing foliar aphid performance. Selecting root resistance can create unintended trade‐offs across plant organs. Abstract BACKGROUND Plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of herbivores at both aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) levels, involving ...

Organ‐specific ozone and nitrogen legacies strengthen substrate control over litter decomposition

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2548-2559, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Elevated tropospheric ozone (O3) and nitrogen (N) deposition are concurrent atmospheric changes that strongly influence terrestrial carbon cycling, yet their combined effects on below‐ground decomposition remain poorly understood.
