AutoPollS: A tool for automated monitoring of pollinators using deep learning

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1743-1753, June 2026.
Abstract Deep learning and computer vision hold enormous potential for automated monitoring of biodiversity, including pollinators and other insects. Efficient, scalable monitoring of insect pollinators is crucial given pollinators' role in supporting biodiversity and agricultural productivity amidst declining pollinator populations.

Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Scenarios and strategies for future‐proofing ecosystem management under climatic novelty

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Climate change is driving unprecedented declines in dominant, habitat‐forming foundation species across marine and terrestrial ecosystems globally. As climatic novelty becomes the norm, ecosystem reassembly will become increasingly common. Predicting and understanding these transitions, and their implications for future ecosystem functioning ...

Widespread Aquatic Insect Responses to Recent Warming in Swiss Mountain Lakes

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Chironomids in surface sediment from 24 Swiss mountain lakes were studied and compared with surveys conducted on the same lakes in 1993/2002 to assess biological responses to recent climate warming. Most lakes show significant shifts in this important group of aquatic insects towards assemblages typical of warmer conditions, while a subset exhibits ...

Satellite Remote Sensing of Alpine Vegetation Dynamics: Challenges and Perspectives

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Satellite greening has become a key tool for monitoring alpine vegetation change, but a positive vegetation‐index trend is not an ecological observation in itself. This perspective shows that interpreting alpine greening requires addressing two sequential challenges: methodological complexity, which can bias trends during image processing, and ...

The (Im)possibilities of Repopulation: How Supply‐Side Factors Hinder the Revitalisation of Vacant Houses in Rural Mountain Regions

open access: yesThe Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract Industrialisation has reshaped European rural areas, leading to both depopulation and, in some cases, lifestyle‐driven repopulation. Our research highlights supply‐side barriers to Alpine repopulation by unpacking the impossibilities of vacant farmhouses revitalisation. Both land transfer traditions ingrained over generation (micro‐level

Unravelling a Rapid Radiation: Biogeography and Niche Evolution of Carex sect. Echinochlaenae Kük. (Cyperaceae)

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Carex section Echinochlaenae has a disjunct distribution across the Southern Hemisphere. It displays a clear center of diversity in New Zealand coupled with extreme morphological and ecological diversification, suggesting a potential evolutionary radiation.
