Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

A link between increased temperature and avian body condition in a logged tropical forest

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The combined effects of anthropogenic disturbances, such as logging and climate change, remain poorly understood; yet, they are the main threats to tropical biodiversity. Most tropical African countries lack long‐term climate data, so climate impacts on biodiversity cannot be assessed.

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Interfacial Engineering of Sodiophilic Metal Layers on Liquid Alloys for Dendrite‐Free Sodium Metal Anodes

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Sodium metal batteries hold significant promise for large‐scale energy storage due to the high theoretical capacity and abundant sodium sources, yet sodium‐metal anodes are hindered by dendrite propagation, unstable solid electrolyte interphase, and poor cycling efficiency arising from uneven Na deposition and volume changes.

Effect of Heterogenous Gradient Structure Induced by High Cu Content on Nanocrystallization Process and Magnetic Properties of Fe‐Based Nanocrystalline Alloys

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The pre‐existing α‐Fe crystals have important effects on the precipitation and growth of nanocrystals and finally determine the comprehensive soft magnetic properties (SMPs) of the nanocrystalline alloys (NAs). In this work, a high content of Cu elements has been added to Nanomet‐type alloys to enhance the gradient heterogeneity in order to ...

Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa.

Urbanization and Seasonality Increase Introduced Plant Consumption by the World's Southernmost Parrot 城市化与季节性增加了全球最南端鹦鹉对引入植物的取食

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 86-103, March 2026.
Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...

Are Galliformes of the High Himalayas Well Protected? Identifying Conservation Priority Areas Using an Assemblage‐Level Approach 高喜马拉雅地区的鸡形目鸟类是否得到了有效保护？利用群落水平方法确定优先保护区域

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 74-85, March 2026.
This study investigates distribution patterns of Galliforms in the Indian Himalayas, focusing on factors influencing their occurrence, regions of high diversity and endemism, and their overlap with protected areas. Our study highlights the need for assemblage‐level conservation strategies in high Himalaya which primarily relies on snow leopard‐focused ...
