Dietary Overlap of Sympatric Polyphagous Alpine Grasshoppers Includes Invasive Plant Species
The diets of three sympatric grasshopper species were compared using mandible morphological analysis, microhistological examination, and DNA metabarcoding of gut contents. Although mandible morphology differed across species and sexes, dietary divergence was not evident.

Differences in Phenological Estimation From Multi‐Vegetation Indices Across the Yellow River Basin
This study evaluated the differential performance of PPI, kNDVI, and EVI in monitoring land surface phenology across the Yellow River Basin. The three vegetation indices showed pronounced divergence in capturing autumn phenological metrics, particularly the downturn date (DD) and recession date (RD).

Seasonality and Grazing Exclusions Shape Bird Community Dynamics in West African Drylands
Seasonal changes, more than grazing exclusions, shape bird community composition in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso. However, grazing exclusions enhanced habitat heterogeneity, supporting regional bird biodiversity and providing seasonal refuges that mitigate the effects of overgrazing.
