Climate Change Reshapes Habitat Suitability of Two Fungus‐Growing Termites With Contrasting Modes of Termitomyces Symbiont Transmission in Côte d'Ivoire (West Africa)- African Journal of Ecology

African Journal of Ecology — 2026-08-13T05:21:28Z

ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly reshaping species distributions and ecological interactions, yet its effects on obligate mutualisms remain poorly understood. One of the most remarkable examples is the ancient symbiosis between fungus-growing termites (Macrotermitinae) and their obligate fungal partners of the genus Termitomyces, a mutualism that underpins nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, soil engineering and ecosystem productivity throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

Understanding Wild Bee Abundance on Marrubium vulgare (Lamiaceae) : Biodiversity Patterns in Relation to Phenology, Foraging Time and Sex Ratio- African Journal of Ecology

African Journal of Ecology — 2026-08-11T06:49:02Z

ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions are fundamental to ecosystem functioning, particularly in semi-arid environments where floral resources are strongly limited during the summer. Marrubium vulgare L. (Lamiaceae), a widespread wild plant species in Algeria that flowers during the summer period, may therefore represent a key floral resource for wild pollinators. This study investigates the diversity, structure and temporal dynamics of wild bee assemblages associated with M. vulgare in (…) @Izuba - Ecology / Mediarezo
