Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.For diverse ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana grown in a common garden, we tested a three‐tier approach to clarifying the drivers of gmax. Our analyses yielded novel findings for this wide‐ranging species: a larger gmax was achieved through greater epidermal allocation to stomata, via a higher stomatal index and smaller epidermal pavement cells; larger ...

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3640-3655, September 2026.Evolution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes. Summary The evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores led to numerous plant adaptations, including spinescence. However, the balance between herbivory and abiotic conditions in the evolution of spinescence remains unclear. We integrated phylogenetic, geographic, and trait data for 2686 species of

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Lake Turkana, a large tropical East African Great Lake, is an ideal model for examining how consumer fish species may mediate the coupling of fast and slow energy channels within food webs. We explored the ecological niche dynamics of five important Lake Turkana fish species across ontogeny and used a Bayesian isotope mixing model approach to identify ...

Higher transpiration in plant invasive species impacts soil water
Environmental and Sustainability IndicatorsStudies on plant invasives are largely focused on their impacts on plant community structure, native biodiversity, ecosystem services, and economy, but their ecosystem effects as high water-spenders are underestimated. Here, we report contrasting results

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Effects of burn severity [pyrodiversity] on avian community were studied in a tropical deciduous forest of Western Ghats. Bird community composition varied significantly across burn severity classes and the pyrodiversity‐biodiversity hypothesis was supported. Functional guilds showed contrasting patterns in the postfire environment.

Invasive plant species for compost production: Review of environmental and economic insights
Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Abstract Invasive plant species pose significant ecological and economic challenges, threatening biodiversity and altering soil properties, while conventional control methods are often costly and resource‐intensive. This review examines the potential of composting invasive plant biomass as a viable and sustainable alternative that aligns with circular ...

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Abstract In Ethiopia, the use of fertilizer is low due to high cost and limited availability, leading to low yields. Using organic amendment, such as biochar together with mineral fertilizers could be a more effective solution. A field experiment was conducted in clay‐textured soil with a slightly acidic pH of 5.82, located in southern Ethiopia to ...
