Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Observations in San Antonio, Texas documented rare interspecific allopreening between crested caracaras and black vultures at Phil Hardberger Park. This represents the first recorded instance of such behavior in an urban green space, expanding the known ecological and geographic scope of interspecies social interactions.

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

Sister predatory mites collectively protect their eggs against predators
OecologiaGroup-living animals sometimes cooperatively protect their offspring against predators. This behavior is observed in a wide range of taxa but, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of its occurrence in arthropods that are not eusocial.

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Understanding the mechanisms shaping food chain length (FCL) has long been central to food web ecology. FCL is a key determinant of stability, energy flow efficiency, and biodiversity maintenance, but there is an ongoing debate about its underlying drivers.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 365-376, January 2026.Maize varieties producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have become an important component of integrated pest management worldwide. For regulatory approval of such plants, risks to the environment need to be assessed. To make such assessments less expensive and time‐consuming, conclusions drawn from data collected in one region

Effects of lithium chloride on queen egg‐laying performance and worker honey bee behavior
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 965-971, January 2026.Chronic oral lithium chloride (LiCl) exposure effectively increases Varroa mite mortality without impairing queen egg laying or brood care behaviors, while significantly reducing worker bee aggression, suggesting its potential for safe Varroa management and mitigating colony aggression.
