Morphological, Molecular, and Isotopic Approaches to Termite Ecology: A Mangrove Case Study

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
Termite communities in Caribbean mangroves, though species‐poor, sustain crucial decomposition and nutrient cycling. Their overlapping niches and stochastic assembly highlight termites' resilience and ecological importance in supporting the functioning of these challenging coastal ecosystems.

Lessons from an eradication under multiple constraints of an island rat population of record density

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Invasive rats threaten island biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems and endangering native species. Although rat eradication has succeeded on many islands, tropical islands present unique management challenges. Strict regulations and financial constraints on some tropical islands further limit proven eradication methods, complicating rodent ...

Height and phytotelm size affect the invertebrate communities of epiphytic bromeliads in the Amazon rainforest

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 221-234, April 2026.
The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...

Schismatoglottideae (Araceae) of Borneo LXXX: Bau djinna, a New Species From the Rejang Basin, Sarawak

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Bau djinna is described as a new species from Central Sarawak and compared with three species to which it is most similar. Recognition of B. djinna takes the genus to 27 species, 25 of which are endemic to Borneo. A brief note is provided on Schismatoglottis ambigua, a recently published name synonymous with Bau inculta.

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 397-417, March 2026.
Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

Phytochemical diversity of naturally regenerated plants in a biodiversity enrichment experiment

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
Tree islands established within an industrial oil palm plantation promoted the recovery of phytochemical diversity through natural regeneration. Ten years after planting, untargeted metabolomics of 76 regenerating woody species detected 27,122 phytochemical features, including many novel compounds. Larger islands supported higher woody species richness

Lightning‐caused disturbance frequency and severity varies with topography in an Afromontane forest

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
The results indicate that lightning disturbance severity differs within and among sites, potentially mediated by differences in lightning tolerance among tree species, and provide preliminary support for the hypothesis that disturbance severity declines with disturbance frequency. Abstract Lightning is an important agent of tropical tree mortality, but
