The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.During an outbreak of 7 wildfires in eastern Oregon, USA, we analyzed the home range and movement patterns of mule deer and elk before, during, and immediately after wildfires. Mule deer maintained high site fidelity during the wildfire but used their home range more uniformly and had higher daily displacement than deer unaffected by wildfire.

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Niche partitioning is important for the coexistence of closely related species, allowing species to reduce overlap in resource use despite shared ecological requirements. In alpine environments, harsh climatic conditions and low habitat complexity constrain opportunities for ecological segregation, making seasonal resource fluctuation especially ...

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2521-2540, August 2026.Abstract Protected areas represent complex social‐ecological systems that require governance and management approaches that valorise and enhance positive relationships between people and nature. This study analyses the alignment between social and ecological systems to detect the social‐ecological fit of projects focused on biodiversity conservation ...

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics of vegetation carbon sequestration capacity (VCSC) in Southwest China's contiguous karst region is critical for regional carbon cycling. Using MOD17A3 data from 2001 to 2023, we analyzed spatial heterogeneity in vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) and applied Geodetector to evaluate nonlinear ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2657-2667, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition significantly impacts plant functional traits in alpine meadows, yet the adaptive strategies of dominant species remain unclear. Understanding these strategies is crucial for predicting alpine grassland vegetation changes and ecosystem ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2421-2435, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract To investigate how niche and fitness differences determine the outcome of species interactions and shape local biodiversity patterns, research has typically focused on either simplified experimental systems that test specific mechanisms or observational studies where ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2462-2474, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Water transport is a fundamental constraint on plant growth in arid regions. Leaf vein architecture regulates carbon assimilation and transpiration through leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf), thereby influencing ecosystem water‐use efficiency (WUE) via community‐level ...
