Coupling Climate Downscaling With Species Distribution Models to Identify Potential Climate Refugia for Giant Panda Forage Bamboos

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study addresses a critical gap in understanding how climate change will affect the foundation of giant panda habitat—its bamboo food resources—at a biologically meaningful scale. While previous assessments often relied on coarse‐resolution climate data, we present the first 30 m‐resolution projections for all 20 key bamboo species across the panda'

Temporal and Spatial Responses of Chinese Red Pandas to Anthropogenic Disturbance in Meigu Dafengding National Nature Reserve, Sichuan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We explored red panda behavioral adaptations to disturbances from both temporal and spatial perspectives. Red pandas favor high‐altitude areas with minimal disturbance and abundant resources. Findings provide a foundation for developing cohesive protection strategies, crucial for long‐term conservation.

Warming reduces the quality of forage resources in a Colorado meadow ecosystem

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Rangelands provide ecosystem services that support approximately 30% of the human population. To maintain sustainable forage resources for animals in grasslands, it is essential to manage grazing pressures by adapting to changes in the quantity and nutritional quality of vegetation affected by climate change and subsequent shifts in plant ...

Integrating multispecies habitat suitability and landscape connectivity to design biodiversity corridors for mountains

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract In the Himalayan region, habitat loss from infrastructure development and land use changes threatens biodiversity by degrading biological corridors. Despite increased protected areas (PAs), maintaining connectivity between them remains challenging.

Morphodynamic adjustment in a watershed affected by megafires: Deadman River, British Columbia, Canada

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
The Deadman River watershed (British Columbia, Canada) was severely impacted by the Sparks Lake Fire in 2021. Timelapse photogrammetry reveals sharp post‐fire channel widening and increase in migration rate. Through multispectral remote‐sensing analysis, these morphodynamic changes are related to burn severity affecting the watershed.
