Variable species establishment in response to microhabitat indicates different likelihoods of climate‐driven range shifts

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Climate change is causing geographic range shifts globally, and understanding the factors that influence species' range expansions is crucial for predicting future biodiversity changes. A common, yet untested, assumption in forecasting approaches is that species will shift beyond current range edges into new habitats as they become macroclimatically ...

Lagged climate‐driven range shifts at species' leading, but not trailing, range edges revealed by multispecies seed addition experiment

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Climate change is causing many species' ranges to shift upslope to higher elevations as species track their climatic requirements. However, many species have not shifted in pace with recent warming (i.e. ‘range stasis'), possibly due to demographic lags or microclimatic buffering.

Plant Domestication Affects the Oviposition Behavior and Performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a Parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 908-921, August 2026.
In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

A new pest recorded in Italy: The South African citrus thrips, Scirtothrips aurantii (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 56, Issue 2, Page 309-316, August 2026.
Abstract The South African citrus thrips, Scirtothrips aurantii Faure, 1929, has been recorded in Italy for the first time. This species was recently reported in Spain and Portugal. Its presence has been confirmed in the major citrus‐growing area of Catania province (Sicily), infesting citrus trees. S. aurantii is currently included in the EPPO A1 List

Long‐Term Biodiversity–Stability Relationship in Temperate Mountain Forests

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Theories on ecological stability lack the long‐term observational data necessary to comprehend the dynamics of durable and complex ecosystems like forests; consequently, the influence of biodiversity on ecosystem stability remains predominantly unexplained.

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2747-2767, August 2026.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Reconfiguring biofortification strategies to transform food systems and address micronutrient deficiency of the 21st century

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2511-2547, August 2026.
This review explores how to make staple foods and horticultural crops more nutritious, including how artificial intelligence‐based screening of gene banks helps deploy nutritionally rich germplasm into breeding. Genome editing can help develop crops richer in minerals, vitamins, and health‐promoting compounds, supporting healthier diets and more ...

Arctic plants can take up inorganic nitrogen year‐round

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1694-1708, August 2026.
Schematic overview of year‐round, Arctic seasonal periods as used throughout the paper and their relation to the 15 repeated measuring periods (top) and the three a priori contrasts (middle) used for statistical testing of seasonality in N‐uptake. Summary Arctic tundra experiences strong climatic seasonality, with cold and long winters, but effective ...
