Inferring alternative ecosystem states with field survey data
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Many ecosystems potentially exhibit alternative stable states, where distinct states can coexist under identical environmental conditions. While simulation models have generated key hypotheses in alternative stable states theory, they often rely on scale‐free parameters disconnected from real ecosystems.

Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1906-1920, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1878-1891, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...

, 2019 冠层型水草轮叶黑藻在富营养情况下，生长迅速，覆盖水面，对于草甸型水草密刺苦草具有明显的竞争优势.为控制轮叶黑藻的竞争优势，于湖北省鄂州市团头鲂原种场的一个池塘进行了原位围隔（10 m×10 m）实验，研究不同密度（0、0.5和1尾/m2）团头鲂牧食作用对轮叶黑藻和密刺苦草群落结构的影响，并通过无人机数字图像处理获取水草覆盖度信息.实验过程中，沉水植物总覆盖度未发生变化.研究发现，团头鲂选择性牧食使得密刺苦草生物量和覆盖度显著增加.随着牧食强度的加大，团头鲂对轮叶黑藻的控制效果显著，放养密度为1尾 ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.This study reveals a shift in woody plant community assembly from competitive exclusion in early succession to habitat filtering in later stages within karst areas. Environmental distance (80.54%) contributed significantly more than geographical distance (9.95%), providing strong quantitative evidence that niche processes, particularly habitat ...

Haiyang yu huzhao为了解岱衢洋海域游泳动物资源及其群落稳定性特征，根据2023年10月(秋)和2024年4月(春)对岱衢洋海域两个航次的渔业资源调查资料，运用ABC曲线法和聚类分析对游泳动物群落结构进行分析，并构建了鱼类和甲壳类生物量粒径谱，比较分析了春、秋季节两个群落生物量粒径谱的特征参数差异性。结果显示，鱼类种类数减少，甲壳类种类增加；春季鱼类、甲壳类Sheldon型生物量粒径谱均呈现不规则锯齿状，秋季鱼类、甲壳类生物量粒径谱呈现“M”形；春季标准化生物量粒径谱鱼类曲率大于秋季，曲线较平缓，受干扰程度较小；春 ...
