Ants do not prey upon an extrafloral‐nectar‐feeding predatory mite
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 876-885, October 2025.The predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus is an important natural enemy of various crop pests and occurs in agroforestry coffee systems, where it feeds on the extrafloral nectar of Inga trees. Because extrafloral nectaries are often vigorously defended by ants, we tested whether ants would attack and kill the mites near nectaries.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 8, Page 844-853, August 2025.The web‐nesting spider mite Schizotetranychus brevisetosus Ehara attacks predators outside the nest, but the effectiveness of this behaviour is unknown. Spreading predator‐mimicking glass beads over the web induced intense patrolling behaviour in females, which even captured and attacked beads.

Soil Use and Management, Volume 41, Issue 3, July‐September 2025.ABSTRACT Soil is a key compartment providing important ecosystem services for sustainable agriculture. Our study examined the effects of three inter‐row vegetation types on soil biological activity, mesofauna, and organic matter decomposition in 15 Mediterranean vineyards of South‐eastern France. The three vegetation types included inter‐rows sown with

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1498-1509, June 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract How populations of ecosystem engineers are both driven by and drive biodiversity is poorly known, even less so in detrital subsystems. Deadwood plays a key role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functions.
