Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Field Margin Vegetation Structure Buffers Microclimate Extremes in Temperate Agricultural Landscapes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Tree‐rich field margins strongly buffered thermal extremes, lowering maximum and raising minimum temperatures compared to adjacent crop fields. Paired shielded and unshielded sensors showed how vegetation modifies thermal conditions and how measurement approach influences estimates of thermal buffering, supporting the potential role of treed margins as

Shifts in Southeastern Bat Communities Driven by Landscape Composition Rather Than Ecological Release

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using 25 years of capture data from Fort Campbell Military Installation, we evaluated whether white‐nose syndrome (WNS)‐driven declines in susceptible bats were followed by increases in non‐susceptible species (ecological release) versus shifts driven by land use change, at the installation and site specific spatial scales.

MaxEnt Projections of Climate‐Driven Distribution Shifts for Daphniphyllum calycinum in China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using an optimized MaxEnt model, this study projects climate‐driven distribution shifts of Daphniphyllum calycinum, an ecologically and medicinally important subtropical tree in China. Results reveal that annual mean temperature and dry season precipitation primarily govern its distribution, with future warming scenarios projecting significant habitat ...
