A sweet tooth makes a fly a pest
Trends Ecol Evol. 2024 Mar 15:S0169-5347(24)00058-2. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2024.03.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe major insect pest of soft and stone fruits, the spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, has evolved a greater preference for laying eggs on ripe fruits over fermented ones. In a recent study, Cavey et al. found that higher responsiveness to low sugar concentrations has had an important role in this evolutionary shift in egg-laying behavior.PMID:38493056 | DOI:10.1016/j.tree.2024.03.002 (Source: Trends in Ecology and Evolution)

Data access is one major barrier to conducting peer review research. Accordingly, we propose pathways to broaden access to peer review data to people from more diverse backgrounds.PMID:38472078 | DOI:10.1016/j.tree.2024.02.003 (Source: Trends in Ecology and Evolution)

Context-dependent bird body mass responses to climate change
Trends Ecol Evol. 2024 Mar 8:S0169-5347(24)00056-9. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2024.02.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrevious studies demonstrated decreasing body size of birds in response to rising temperatures. Recently, Neate-Clegg et al. documented that birds have been becoming larger in an Afromontane forest over four decades. This highlights the complexity of morphological responses to climate, the importance of context, and the need to study phenomena in a diversity of regions.PMID:38461120 | DOI:10.1016/j.tree.2024.02.010 (Source: Trends in Ecology and Evolution)

Linking nematodes and ecosystem function: a trait-based framework

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTrait-based approaches are being increasingly adopted to understand species' ecological strategies and how organisms influence ecosystem function. Trait-based research on soil organisms, however, remains poorly developed compared with that for plants. The abundant and diverse soil nematodes are prime candidates to advance trait-based approaches belowground, but a unified trait framework to describe nematode ecological strategies and assess their linkages with ecosystem function is lacking.
