Understanding Pollination in Urban Food Production: The Importance of Data Validation and Participant Feedback for Citizen Science Project Design

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 157-175, January 2026.
Urban agriculture depends on insect pollination, but knowledge gaps persist due to difficulties accessing diverse growing spaces. We developed a citizen science approach for monitoring insect visits to crops and compared grower‐collected data to that of a trained researcher while also gathering participant feedback.

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Do functional traits improve prediction of predation rates for a disparate group of aphid predators? [PDF]

, 2008
Aphid predators are a systematically disparate group of arthropods united on the basis that they consume aphids as part of their diet. In Europe, this group includes Araneae, Opiliones, Heteroptera, chrysopids, Forficulina, syrphid larvae, carabids ...

Enhancing Active Channel Delineation in Alluvial Rivers Using Monthly Aggregation of Sentinel‐2 Imagery

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The active channel of alluvial rivers delineates areas of geomorphic activity over a defined time window. While increasing satellite data availability enables monthly active channel delineations, multi‐year analyses often rely on temporal aggregates (e.g., annual medians) to reduce computational costs and intra‐annual variability.

Synchronous seasonal plasticity in coloration, behaviour and visual gene expression in a wild butterfly population

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 51-69, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phenotypic plasticity allows many animals to quickly respond to seasonal changes in their environment. Seasonal changes to physiological systems, such as sensory systems, may explain other more obvious changes in behaviour, often working synergistically with changes in ...
