Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Food webs consist of trophic interactions of variable strength. However, it remains challenging to predict how changes in environmental conditions, such as nutrient enrichment, can affect these interactions. In this paper, we propose to integrate food web theory with ecological stoichiometry, which predicts how elemental ratios affect trophic ...

Forest Loss Influences Biomass Distribution Across Trophic Groups of Amazonian Stream Insects
Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Changes in resource availability caused by deforestation can negatively impact freshwater ecosystems, with implications for trophic chains. We investigated both the direct and indirect effects of forest cover and allochthonous resource availability on the biomass distribution of larvae of aquatic insects (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera

Integrating eDNA and community science to monitor urban Odonata diversity
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 84-92, January 2026.Environmental DNA captured rare and underrepresented taxa often missed by community science observations. Community science revealed adult‐stage observations across a broader temporal window. Integrating both methods improved detection across life stages, seasons, and species prevalence.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Male Mnais damselflies occur in two genetically controlled morphs: an orange‐winged territorial morph that defends oviposition sites and actively courts females and a co‐occurring clear‐winged sneaker morph that does not defend territories or display, yet mates opportunistically with females.

Fish predation cues induce drifting and emergence in an experimental stream mesocosm system
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S364-S376, December 2025.Abstract Predator–prey interactions are important drivers of adaptation in aquatic communities, shaping the behavior of invertebrates with cascading effects on community dynamics. Behavioral responses, such as moving with the downstream current (drift) or altering the timing of emergence, are strategies that reduce the risk of predator encounters ...

Zygoptera systematics: past, present, and future
Insect Systematics and DiversityAbstract Odonata is a midsized insect order (~6420 species) containing 3 suborders: Anisoptera (dragonflies, 3,120 species), Zygoptera (damselflies, ~3,297 species), and the intermediate Anisozygoptera (~3 species). In this review of the suborder Zygoptera, we provide a brief overview of their biology, ecology, and natural history.

Guild diversity impacts demographic outcomes of novel species interactions following range shifts
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 2062-2078, October 2025.This study applies the theory of biotic resistance, a common concept in invasion ecology, to the world of climate driven range shifts, and finds support that biotic resistance may create a life‐stage dependent benefit to resident species, alleviating the competitive impacts of range shifters on native communities.
