It remains unclear how hundreds of sympatric species sharing the same temporal niche manage to coexist. To address this, we monitored the daily activity of the twilight-active, species-rich Drosophila genus under naturalistic conditions. Here we show that intense sociosexual interactions rapidly drive a species-specific reformatting of their canonical crepuscular niche. The dominant sensory modality used for sexual communication predicts niche-shift direction: reliance on chemosensation for courtship redirects behavioural activity into the night, while visual reliance shifts it into the day. This temporal plasticity bypasses the circadian clock, instead operating via a conserved dopaminergic pathway that simultaneously inhibits sleep and sustains sexual motivation. Our results reveal how mating imperatives enable conditional colonization of otherwise restricted temporal windows. Ultimately, by driving the divergence of previously overlapping niches, sociosexually induced temporal plasticity provides a powerful mechanism for sympatric coexistence in crowded environments. A study of daily activity of Drosophila species under naturalistic conditions shows that sociosexual interactions, via dopamine signalling, expand their temporal niche in a species-specific way according to their sensory ecology.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"10 10","pages":"1982-1996"},"PeriodicalIF":17.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149021709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whether different planting strategies lead to similar trajectories in C storage and how these affect soil microbial growth are poorly understood. Here we compile data on 1,158 paired afforestation/reforestation and reference sites across six continents. We find that afforestation has the potential to support greater soil microbial biomass and larger topsoil C storage across stand development spanning up to a century. Reforestation is associated with substantial recovery of soil C storage and soil microbial biomass, with both approaching original forest levels during the first three decades, but these gains are not sustained in older stands. Soil C and microbial biomass responses are generally coupled across prior land uses, climatic zones and planted tree species, with greater gains on degraded lands. Overall, our work provides evidence that afforestation and reforestation could contribute to soil C storage and support soil microbial growth under global change, offering critical insights for refining nature-based climate solutions.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149002276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here using a 13-year fully factorial field experiment manipulating elevated atmospheric CO2, nitrogen enrichment, warming and reduced rainfall, we show that grassland ecosystem stability is shaped by distinct single-driver effects and strongly non-additive, time-dependent interactions. At ambient levels of all other factors, elevated CO2 and, less markedly, nitrogen enrichment reduced stability by increasing temporal standard deviation more than mean productivity. In contrast, warming and reduced rainfall alone both increased stability through opposite mechanisms, with reduced rainfall suppressing temporal standard deviation and warming enhancing mean productivity disproportionately. Combined driver effects frequently shifted in magnitude and, in some cases, reversed their expected additive direction over time, revealing dynamics that would be missed in short-term studies. Across treatments, stability was governed primarily by species asynchrony, with secondary contributions from soil moisture and functional composition. Together, these findings demonstrate that ecosystem stability results from shifting, non-additive interactions among global change drivers, challenging inferences drawn from single-factor global change studies.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148970114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we examine the presence of carnivore adaptive zones and this form/function mismatch using a total-evidence phylogeny of living and extinct feliforms, modelling the evolution of body mass and dental toolkit (relative blade length of the lower carnassial). We identify three adaptive zones within feliforms: (1) an ancestral cataract of carnivory, comprising small-bodied, ecologically flexible taxa with largely stochastic dental evolution; (2) the broad ecology cursor, associated with restricted forelimb dexterity and increased reliance on cranial prey processing; and (3) the soft-flesh specialist, defined by strong selection for slicing-dominated dentitions in hypercarnivores. Extending beyond feliforms, we propose a fourth zone, the versatile omnivore, representing a distinct adaptive zone of dietary and morphological flexibility at large size. Across these regimes, dental morphology receives strong selection only in hypercarnivores, resulting in reliable predictions of diet. In contrast, taxa with broader diets show stochastic dental evolution, leading to the frequent misclassification observed in recent studies. This framework reconciles longstanding links between morphology and ecology with their inconsistencies, providing a predictive model for terrestrial carnivore evolution. The relationship between the form and function of terrestrial carnivore dentition is inconsistent, despite repeated evolution of similar ecomorphologies. Here the authors compile a total-evidence phylogeny to identify three adaptive zones within feliforms and to show that reliable predictions of diet can only be made in hypercarnivores.","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"10 10","pages":"1812-1822"},"PeriodicalIF":17.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148920009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
