Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Here, we de novo assembled the chloroplast genomes of Ranunculus arvensis and Ranunculus laetus, providing comprehensive comparative analysis with 21 congeners. The genomes exhibited conserved quadripartite structures with no major rearrangements, though lineage‐specific variations in atpH position were detected in two species.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Euryops pinifolius, vulnerable plant species in Ethiopia's Afroalpine ecosystem, faces serious threats from overexploitation for fuelwood. Using the MaxEnt model (AUC = 0.985), this study identified key environmental factors‐such as temperature, altitude, vegetation cover, and precipitation seasonality‐affecting its current and future habitat ...

Corticosterone as a Physiological Biomarker: Decoding the Environment‐Cort‐Energy Paradigm
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Corticosterone (cort) is increasingly used as a biomarker in wildlife conservation, though debate remains over which measures best capture physiological and environmental relationships. Using structural equation modeling on a 14‐year dataset, we evaluated the total hormone, free hormone, and CBG profile hypotheses linking cort, energetic state, and ...

Differences in Phenological Estimation From Multi‐Vegetation Indices Across the Yellow River Basin
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.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).

Seed germination improves air classification efficiency of pea and faba bean flours
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 7, Page 4320-4330, May 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Increasing interest in incorporating pulses into human diets has increased demand for their fractionation into diverse food ingredients. Air classification has relatively low capital and operating costs, uses no water, and preserves the native protein structure.

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

Assessing multifunctional mountain landscape in an Eastern European framework
Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.The research introduces the Biocultural Resilience Index (BRI), a novel tool for assessing multifunctional landscape sustainability. By integrating biological, cultural, and socio‐economic indicators, the BRI identifies vulnerable areas and informs strategies for sustainable management.

Risk Status of Australia's Alpine and Subalpine Ecosystems
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Alpine and subalpine ecosystems are threatened by changing climate and disturbance regimes because they exist under extreme geographical and climatic conditions. Understanding the threats to and risk status of alpine and subalpine ecosystems is vital to guide their conservation, inform monitoring programs and identify the relative impact of ...
