Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 832-837, August 2026.
Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...

Resilience of floral scent emission after florivory

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1491-1506, August 2026.
Florivory is thought to affect floral traits, impacting pollination. However, our data suggest a stability in post‐florivory scent emission, which may guarantee the maintenance of pollinator visitation regardless of florivory, indicating a resilience of natural systems with multiple and simultaneous interactions. Created in BioRender. Tunes, P.

Attraction of nocturnal scarab beetles by unusual floral volatiles in a Banksia (Proteaceae) with functionally diverse pollinators

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1454-1466, August 2026.
Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...

Indirect selection criteria against clean wool colour in Corriedale sheep and their effects on wool production traits

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2002
The potential of greasy wool colour subjective assessment Visual Colour Score (VCS) and the yellow predictive test (YPC) as indirect selection criteria for reduction of clean wool colour (CWC) in Corriedale sheep was examined.

A Comparison of Nest Structure and Materials in Three Species of Penduline Tits (Remiz spp.)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We present the first quantitative descriptions of nest structural parameters and material composition for the White‐crowned and Black‐headed Penduline Tits. We further conducted a comparative analysis of nest architecture and materials in three penduline tit species (Remiz consobrinus, R. coronatus, and R.

Balancing the Risk: Heritability of Leaf Phenology and Frost Resistance in the Dominant Temperate Forest Tree European Beech

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We quantified the heritability of spring and autumn phenology and frost tolerance in European beech using a common‐garden experiment with 961 seedlings from half‐sib families. Spring leaf out and autumn senescence showed moderate heritability, indicating substantial adaptive potential, whereas bud and leaf frost tolerance exhibited low heritability ...

Rhizobacteria regulate colonising Sitobion avenae aphid populations through induced host resistance and alter plant volatiles promoting early parasitoid recruitment on barley (Hordeum vulgare)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7050-7061, July 2026.
Rhizobacterial inoculation of barley reduced Sitobion avenae populations by inducing plant resistance and modifying volatiles that attracted parasitoid wasps earlier, enhancing both bottom‐up and top‐down pest control. Abstract BACKGROUND Soil rhizobacteria can enhance crop resistance to insect herbivores and influence higher trophic interactions ...

Reference Intervals for Schirmer Tear Test and Intraocular Pressure in Healthy Hamdani Crossbred Sheep

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
This study establishes reference intervals for Schirmer tear test (STT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in healthy Hamdani crossbred sheep. STT values were lower and IOP values higher than previously reported, highlighting the importance of breed‐specific reference ranges in clinical ophthalmic evaluation.
