Urbanization Effects on the Community Structure of Saproxylic Arthropods in Warm‐Temperate Japan
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.This study examined saproxylic arthropod communities in various landscapes, ranging from large to fragmented urban forests, and compared the structure and composition of these communities. The results showed that communities could be classified into three types based on species composition and that arthropod community types were correlated with forest ...

Balancing risk and opportunity: Nasute termite responses to predator and competitor chemical cues
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 654-663, August 2026.Nasutitermes corniger discriminates between heterospecific chemical cues during foraging, showing non‐random resource selection based on predator and competitor information. Predator chemical cues consistently reduce food resource selection, indicating avoidance driven by perceived predation risk rather than direct encounters.
