Between birch and berries: seasonal dietary niche partitioning among sympatric alpine herbivorous birds

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 ...

Detecting social‐ecological fit in Natura 2000 governance and management: Evidence from LIFE projects focused on forest protected habitat types

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 ...

All pieces together now? A phylogenomic analysis and tribe‐level classification of the heterogeneous family Plantaginaceae

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The plant family Plantaginaceae comprises approximately 2100 species in 106 genera, representing around 1% of all eudicots. The current circumscription of the family has been established in recent decades based on insights from DNA‐based phylogenetic analyses, which have united genera previously considered unrelated.

Spatial Heterogeneity and Nonlinear Influencing Mechanisms of Vegetation Carbon Sequestration Capacity in the Southwest China Karst Region

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 ...
