Persistence without prosperity at the upper range margin: Elevation, microhabitat buffering and biotic pressure in a range‐expanding spider

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 926-943, October 2026.
Anthropogenic linear features facilitate high‐elevation colonization. Parasitoid pressure declines markedly with elevation. Cocoon damage increases despite reduced parasitism at high elevation. Abstract The upper elevational range limits of thermophilic arthropods reflect constraints on population persistence rather than simple presence.

NemEu: European Database on Nematode Communities at Genus or Family Level

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Motivation Soil communities are highly diverse. Due to a lack of spatially attributed data, our understanding of the geographical distribution of soil biodiversity across Europe and the factors driving this distribution remains limited. The NemEu database aims to fill this gap by providing nematode community data at genus or family level ...

Transhumance as a Prism. Toward a Planetary Rural Geography of Mountain Space

Geography Compass, Volume 20, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Transhumance is a marginal—yet crucial—practice within mountain and rural geographies at a global scale. The term refers to a wide range of extensive grazing systems characterized by the seasonal movement of herds and flocks between different altitudes, within diverse governance systems.

Seasonality and plasticity in the use of native and introduced plant resources by a large forest parrot

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1572-1588, October 2026.
Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

Dietary flexibility and high arthropod availability prevent food limitation in a mountain population of breeding Northern Wheatears

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1629-1648, October 2026.
Mountain ecosystems are under strong environmental pressure and are considered highly vulnerable to climate change, which is likely to lead to forest expansion and loss of open alpine grasslands, threatening many specialized species. However, for most alpine birds, even basic ecological knowledge, such as their diet, remains limited, restricting our ...
