Multiple signalling increases both prey response and diversity in a carnivorous pitcher plant

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 451-462, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organisms across the tree of life use multiple signals such as colour, movement sound, and many types of chemical signals to convey seemingly the same information. These signals are potentially costly, yet the repeated evolution of multiple signalling across systems ...

Entomobrya petri sp. nov.: A new species of springtail found in the British Isles

Soil Organisms
A new species of elongate springtail (Collembola: Entomobryomorpha) is described from a churchyard in Edinburgh: Entomobrya petri sp. nov. Microscopic examination of specimens from another site in the UK supports that this new species represents the ...

Long term effect of fire, flood and grazing on invertebrates in Australia’s arid zone: Collembola and Formicidae

Soil Organisms, 2023
An extensive fire followed almost immediately by a large scale flood occurred in the semi-arid/arid Olary Creek area in southwest New South Wales. In order to monitor the short and long term effect of these extreme events on vegetation, replicate paired

From Permits to Samples: Addressing Key Challenges for High‐Quality Reference Genome Generation in Europe

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐quality reference genome assemblies have become essential for deepening our understanding of biodiversity, yet obtaining them for many species remains surprisingly challenging. Drawing on experiences from the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) community, we focus on permit and sample‐handling procedures leading up to nucleic acid ...

Solar parks provide heterogeneous habitats for winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 59-73, February 2026.
Forest provides stable temperature and high humidity, harbouring mainly forest‐associated winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods. Grassland and abandoned farmland experience extreme temperatures, favouring mainly dry‐habitat winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods.

Vegetation biomass and landscape context influence web‐building spider dietary breadth in urban vacant lots

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 126-140, February 2026.
Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.
