Landscape conservation forecasting to evaluate ecological condition and wildlife habitat suitability in eastern Nevada U.S.A.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Cooperation among managers of protected areas and federal multiple use lands with private inholdings to increase restoration success and economies of scale creates ecological and regulatory complexity best studied with state‐and‐transition simulation models (STSM).

Contrasting elevational patterns in microbial necromass carbon content and contribution across soil depths of a subtropical alpine ecosystem

Ecological Processes
Background Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) is a critical component of persistent soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the elevational patterns of MNC accumulation and its contribution to SOC across different soil layers remain poorly understood in ...

Primula octopoda, a Stoloniferous New Species From Western Sichuan, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Primula octopoda W.B.Ju & Q.Huang, a new species of Primula (Primulaceae) in sect. Aleuritia, is herein described and illustrated from Batang County, Sichuan Province, southwestern China. Morphologically, P. octopoda is most similar to P. stenocalyx, but it can be readily distinguished by its dwarf habit, the presence of stolons 2–7 cm in length ending

Habitat characteristics along spring migration routes of elk, mule deer, and pronghorn in the southern San Juan Mountains

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
We evaluated habitat characteristics of spring migration routes and stopover sites for adult female elk (Cervus canadensis), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in the San Juan Mountains (2021–2022) and found species‐specific differences in vegetation structure, terrain, and proximity to land cover types relative to ...

Farmers versus wolves: how geographic, social cognitive, and experiential factors influence attitudes towards a predator in Italy

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
A survey of 426 Italian farmers reveals that tolerance toward wolves varies geographically, with northern regions showing less acceptance. Negative intentions were linked to poor knowledge, while use of preventive methods fostered positive beliefs. These findings highlight the need for region‐specific, socially informed wolf management strategies in ...

Ecological Assessments and Community‐Based Restoration: Co‐Designing a Vegetation Monitoring Protocol for Community Science in Mexico's Water Forest

Community Science, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Community science is a community‐led scientific mode of inquiry, sustained by social learning, for the purpose of transforming environmental governance. We present a case study of a community science initiative from Mexico's Water Forest, where a grassroots organization, the Milpa Alta Biological Monitoring Group, co‐designed a vegetation ...

Cross‐ploidy hybridisation in Alpine woodrushes is associated with ecological additivity and scale‐dependent niche divergence

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3669-3686, September 2026.
Genetic differentiation among the study species. Summary Hybridisation and whole‐genome duplication (WGD) are widespread in plants, yet their ecological consequences remain challenging to predict. In allopolyploids, where both processes coincide, ecological divergence is typically evaluated against a null hypothesis of ecological additivity.

Climate and soil shape vertical carbon sequestration patterns in high-altitude grasslands of the Qinghai–Xizang plateau

Ecological Indicators
The alpine grasslands of the Qinghai–Xizang plateau (QXP) serve as significant carbon reservoirs, storing approximately 2.5% of global soil organic carbon (SOC).

Alpine Secondary Forest Types Influence Soil Microbial Community Structure and Enzyme Activities on the Eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10107-10126, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities and enzyme activities influence soil functions and tree growth in ecologically fragile alpine regions. However, differences in soil microbial communities among secondary forests remain poorly understood in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.
