The macroecology of immunity: predominant influence of climate on invertebrate immune response

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
The immune system is the primary defense against parasites. With the ever‐increasing rate of disease, epidemiologic models considering geographic variation in immune responses could prove useful. Despite increasing interest in the macroecology of parasitism and infectious diseases, we know little about the macroecology of immune responses (i.e ...

Validating a low‐cost alternative to body surface area estimation: Implications for energy budgets and scaling relationships of ectotherms

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1204-1217, April 2026.
Abstract The surface area of organisms is a key parameter in ecological and evolutionary applications. For example, surface area‐dependent traits such as rates of cutaneous water loss and of heat absorbed are relevant for predicting animal desiccation rates and body temperatures.

Consistent Trait Patterns in a Hyper Diverse Moth Clade Along a Western Himalayan Elevational Gradient

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study examines how Geometrid moth assemblages along a 1500‐m elevational gradient in the western Himalayas respond to temperature and air density shifts. While species diversity declines with elevation and turnover occurs from low to high elevations, no significant changes in morphological or flight traits were observed at the assemblage level ...

Rapid postfire color shift in a Mediterranean lizard

Journal of Zoology, Volume 328, Issue 3, Page 248-255, March 2026.
We quantified dorsal luminosity and color composition of Psammodromus algirus in burned and adjacent unburned habitats at different times since fire. Lizards inhabiting recently burned areas displayed lighter dorsal coloration, particularly during the early stages of postfire succession, with the effect being more pronounced in larger individuals ...

Environmental Factors and Co‐Occurrence Patterns Influence Dorsal Brightness in Two Jumping Mice Species in the Western United States

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We examined how dorsal coloration varies in the endangered New Mexico jumping mouse (Zapus luteus) and its close relative, the western jumping mouse (Z. princeps) in relation to environmental variables and co‐occurence patterns using standardized photographs of museum specimens.

Nutritional effects on the expression of cryptic pigmentation in freshwater isopods

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Cryptic pigmentation is a key phenotypic adaptation that helps many benthic invertebrates evade visual predators. However, little is known about whether and how the expression of pigmentation phenotypes that match the habitat background is influenced by the availability of nutritional resources.

Winter fruit contribution to the performance of the invasive fruit fly Drosophila suzukii under different thermal regimes

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 377-395, February 2026.
Highlights: The contribution of winter and early spring‐available fruit (Aucuba japonica, Elaeagnus ×submacrophylla, and Viscum album) to the performance of D. suzukii depended on their P:C ratio and biophysical properties Even though D. suzukii performance was the lowest in A.

Cover Picture and Issue Information

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1009-1011, April 2026.
Cover image: This month's cover image shows a southern rock agama lizard basking on top of a rock outcrop in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. These lizards change body position, shape, and orientation among rocks to fine‐tune multiple pathways of heat exchange with the environment.
