Woody Plant Diversity and Community Structure Along Elevational and Soil Gradients in Betula platyphylla Forests, Southeastern Tibetan Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study investigates the species composition, distribution, and diversity of Betula platyphylla forests in the Nyang River Basin in southeastern Tibet. The results show that elevation is the primary factor influencing species diversity in plant communities, with diversity indices significantly decreasing with increasing elevation.

Pollinator Dependency and Regional Climate Affect Crop Yield Development Under Climate Change

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study addresses the question if and how climate change, with rising temperatures and increasing risks of drought events, has affected the yield of entomophilous, that is, insect‐pollinator‐dependent, crops in the past decades. We found weaker yield increases with warming.

Camera‐Trap Evidence of Myricaria sp. Consumption and Head‐Rubbing by a Wild Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia) in an Alpine Ecosystem

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Camera‐trap footage from the Shamshy co‐managed nature protected area, Kyrgyzstan, provides the first direct evidence of a wild snow leopard ingesting woody Myricaria sp., often alongside sniffing and head‐rubbing. Species‐specific use—snow leopards feeding in leaf‐poor periods vs.

Characterizing and Detecting Multiscenario Degradation of the Maidika Alpine Wetland Nature Reserve in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau Using Landsat Time Series

Journal of Remote Sensing
Monitoring alpine wetland degradation on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is crucial for understanding the responses to and resilience against climate change but has been challenging due to limited images in cloudy high-mountain areas.

The roles of beetles and flies in yak dung removal in an alpine meadow of eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

, 2010
Flies and beetles are 2 major functional invertebrate groups responsible for dung removal and nutrient cycling in many alpine pastures. In order to determine the effect of the 2 groups on dung removal rate, as well as the associated mechanisms, we ...

Ecological and Social Dimensions of Human–Bear Coexistence in Nepal's Gaurishankar Conservation Area

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We modelled habitat suitability for Asiatic black bears in Nepal's Gaurishankar Conservation Area and combined it with community surveys to understand human–bear coexistence. Our results show that bear habitat is concentrated between 1000 and 3000 m and that conflict is rising in forest‐edge communities.

How Does the Phasianidae Maintain Its Diversity in Central China?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The hypothesis of allopatric speciation suggests that spatial separation is the major driver to speciation. The ecological niche theory suggests that differentiations in niche dimensions allow more species to co‐exist in ecological communities.

Oxytropis ikhbogdicus (Section Mesogaea, Fabaceae), A New Species From Mongolia Based on Morphological and Molecular Analyses

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Oxytropis ikhbogdicus, a new species endemic to Mongolia, is described and illustrated. The new species was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis based on the complete plastome genome and combined nuclear ribosome internal transcribed spacer (ITS), psbA‐trnH, and trnF‐L sequence data as well as morphological characteristics. ABSTRACT Oxytropis ikhbogdicus,

Habitat Utilization Preference by Small Mammals Is Associated With Geomorphic and Soil Properties: A Case Study of the Plateau Pika From the Eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study, through a large‐scale survey, reveals a close relationship between plateau pika habitat use preferences and geomorphic and soil characteristics. The findings indicate that pikas prefer flat, sun‐facing terrain near water sources, as well as specific ranges of soil depth, organic matter, and moisture.
