The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Exploring Costa Rica's fungal trends: Insights from digitized specimens
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1256-1274, July 2026.Fungi are essential to tropical ecosystems but remain largely absent from conservation agendas. By analyzing over 78,000 fungal records from Costa Rica—a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot—this study reveals key patterns in fungal diversity, distribution, and seasonality.

From forest stand decline to salvage logging: Cascading impacts on saproxylic beetle diversity
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.Given the pronounced context dependency of the processes driving these cascading community dynamics, and considering the increasing frequency, severity and spatial extent of forest disturbances and global stand decline, it is imperative to integrate this complexity into management and conservation frameworks.
