The wood economics spectrum modulates the positive effects of termite foraging intensity on deadwood invertebrate diversity

open access: yesFunctional 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.

Why oaks should stay with their close relatives: growing in a distantly related neighbourhood delays and reorganizes nutrient recycling during litter decomposition

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 4, April 2025.
Closely related species often conserve similar niches despite interacting negatively. We suggest that close relatives may interact positively via ecosystem feedbacks: leaf litter produced or exposed in a closely related neighbourhood (low phylogenetic isolation) may decompose more quickly, leading to more rapid nutrient recycling.

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.
Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

Sustainable Land Use Strengthens Microbial and Herbivore Controls in Soil Food Webs in Current and Future Climates

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 11, November 2024.
Our study examines how climate change and farming practices impact soil ecosystems, focusing on energy flux through the soil food web. We found that less intensive, sustainable farming methods help maintain soil ecosystem functioning, even under changing climate conditions.
