Exploring metapopulation‐scale suppression alternatives for a global invader in a river network experiencing climate change

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Invasive species can dramatically alter ecosystems, but eradication is difficult, and suppression is expensive once they are established. Uncertainties in the potential for expansion and impacts by an invader can lead to delayed and inadequate suppression, allowing for establishment.

Land use overrides climatic controls on soil organic nitrogen transformations: Contrasting responsiveness between forest and cropland ecosystems

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil organic nitrogen (SON) transformation is critical for global nutrient cycling and ecosystem productivity, yet how its responsiveness to climate change differs across diverse land use types remains poorly resolved.

Complete elliptic Fourier descriptor normalization and its application in quantitative morphological analysis

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Elliptic Fourier analysis (EFA) is often employed in geometric morphometrics (GM), but the normalization of elliptic Fourier descriptor (EFD) has persistently posed challenges for obtaining unique and comparable results, especially in the application of outline‐based GM methods, which limits the implementation in automated analysis of numerous,

Psychometric framework for coexistence with large carnivores

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human–carnivore coexistence is essential for biodiversity conservation, yet measuring the attitudes and behaviors that support it remains methodologically challenging. We developed psychometric scales to assess willingness to coexist with carnivores and the underlying beliefs of this coexistence through an iterative expert elicitation process ...

Structural Distortion for Polyoxometalate‐Derived Metal Sulfide Induced by In Situ Intercalation With Organic Ligands Achieving Efficient Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Performance in Alkaline/Seawater Medium

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The electrocatalytic water splitting technique was widely taken for hydrogen evolution, due to its cost‐effectiveness and environmental friendliness. The design of electrode material as electrocatalysts play a key role in achieving high efficiency.

Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

open access: yesConservation 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 ...

Tunable Redox‐Active Anhydride‐Based Linear Polymer as Organic Cathodes for Chemically Self‐Charging Aqueous Zinc–Ion Batteries

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemically self‐charging aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) have emerged as promising candidates for energy storage technologies owing to their environmental autonomy and structural simplicity. Nonetheless, the self‐charging performance is significantly compromised by the limited potential difference between cathodes and oxygen, as well as the

Climate stability drives multidimensional nestedness of amphibian assemblages in a Chinese sky island system

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 636-654, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate
