Beaver dam analogues increase amphibian breeding occupancy and bat activity
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Beavers are ecosystem engineers that can create ponds, increase stream complexity, and enhance biodiversity. To mimic these and other effects, restoration practitioners increasingly install beaver dam analogues (BDAs) in degraded streams.

PlantsLandmark-based geometric morphometrics (GM) was used to examine, for the first time, spontaneous hybridization between Alnus incana (L.) Moench and Alnus rohlenae Vít, Douda and Mandák, and to assess inter- and intrapopulation variability in leaf shape ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 303-321, April 2026.We experimentally manipulated top‐down (predator exclusion) and bottom‐up (fertilisation) forces in a temperate forest understory to test effects on arthropod densities, body sizes and herbivory. Predator exclusion had no detectable effect on arthropod density, herbivory damage or body size, whereas fertilisation increased herbivory damage and ...

Taxonomic reintroduction of Taphrina viridis (Taphrinales, Ascomycota) associated with Alnus alnobetula as one of five well defined European species colonizing alders [PDF]
MycoKeysPhylogenetic analysis of four DNA regions (ITS, LSU, mtSSU and tef1α) supported the existence of five European Taphrina species which colonise Alnus in Europe. In addition to previously well-defined species, T.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We documented arboreal, multi‐species mammal latrines in montane cloud forests of Costa Rica by surveying 169 trees across 29 species. Latrines were found exclusively on Ficus tuerckheimii, with 11 occurrences across two mountain ranges and an additional observation in Honduras.

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2000 In search of plant genes expressed during early interactions between Casuarina glauca and Frankia, we have isolated and characterized a C. glauca gene that has strong homology to subtilisin-like protease gene families of several plants including the ...

Marsh Interspersion and Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) Habitat Use
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We used camera traps to measure intensity of habitat use by muskrats along a gradient of marsh interspersion to determine whether reduced interspersion, which may be linked to the invasion of Typha x glauca, may be contributing to widespread muskrat population declines.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This systematic review of 107 studies on the factors behind the elevational range limits of alpine vascular plants shows a persistent emphasis on upper limits and abiotic factors, especially temperature, while work at lower limits is more evenly distributed across water availability, plant–plant interactions, and selection/local adaptation.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract The North American beaver (Castor canadensis) is expanding its distribution in the Arctic tundra. Due to the species' capacity to engineer ecosystems, they can transform surface water dynamics and biogeochemistry, permafrost stability, vegetation composition, and impact Indigenous subsistence practices.
