Vegetation type mediates how urbanization reshapes the structure, function, and spatial variation of soil food webs

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 956-968, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization represents one of the major anthropogenic alterations of the Earth's surface, with significant impacts on biodiversity and its functions. Soil animals are essential components of biodiversity, and their trophic interactions play integral roles in the ...

Carboniferous fossils enlighten the systematics and evolution of Hemiptera

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Fossils are witnesses to the evolutionary processes undergone by living lineages. The earliest occurrence of clades provides rich insights into the timing of diversification of lineages and better delimits the groups that compose them. Hemiptera are a remarkable order within the insects due to their high morphological and ecological diversity.

Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...

Large‐Scale Integrative Taxonomy of the Smallest Insects Reveals Astonishing Temperate Diversity (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Fairyflies (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae) are a diverse but taxonomically understudied group of parasitoid wasps that attack the eggs of other insects. Being among the very smallest of all insects, they are often ignored in biodiversity surveys despite being one of the most abundant microhymenoptera in many habitats.
