Community‐level effects of Müllerian mimicry on pollinator diversity and functioning

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 599-610, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Müllerian mimicry, a mutualistic interaction in which harmful species evolve similar warning signals, is often accompanied by niche divergence among mimetic species. While these aspects have traditionally been studied in an evolutionary context, their community‐level ...

Toward a global repository of insect traits (GRIT)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 253-267, March 2026.
Biodiversity loss is accelerating, yet insect conservation is hindered by the absence of a centralised, comprehensive trait database. We propose the GRIT, a FAIR, open‐access platform uniting datasets and collaborators worldwide. GRIT will harness advanced computational tools for trait acquisition and imputation, enabling large‐scale ecological ...

Distance and habitat drive fine scale stingless bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) community turnover across naturally heterogeneous forests in the western Amazon

Sociobiology, 2014
High tree species richness in the western Amazon has been attributed to heterogeneous soils, which harbor edaphic specialist trees. While rapid transitions in tree communities are well documented across these variable soils few studies have investigated ...

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...
