Chromosome fusions shaped karyotype evolution and evolutionary relationships in the model family Brassicaceae

open access: yesNature Communications
The ancestral crucifer karyotype and 22 conserved genomic blocks (CGBs) facilitate phylogenomic analyses in the Brassicaceae. Chromosomal rearrangements reshuffled CGBs of ancestral chromosomes during karyotype evolution.

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

open access: yesEcology 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.

Responses of SOM decomposition to changing temperature in Zoige alpine wetland, China

open access: yes, 2015
Alpine wetlands are considered to be very sensitive to future climate warming. Understanding changes in decomposition rates (Rs) of soil organic matter (SOM) and temperature sensitivity (Q (10)) in alpine wetlands, under the scenarios of a warming ...

Disease, Drought, and Warming: A Triple Threat to a Declining High‐Elevation Amphibian

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We developed a dynamic co‐occurrence occupancy model to explore the effects of climate change on the occupancy of boreal toads (Anaxyrus boreas) and the amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Bd) in the southern Rocky Mountains. We derived novel covariates to test hypotheses related to multi‐generational impacts of climate on the ...

From Inventories to Insights: Environmental Gradients Structuring Macro‐Moths Assemblages Recorded in Nature Reserves

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The article analyses macro‐moth (Lepidoptera) inventory data from 292 nature reserves across the Czech Republic, comprising 941 species. It examines how reserve characteristics, geographic position and altitude influence species richness, community composition and their associations with species traits.

Patterns of Sulfur and Carbon Biogeochemistry in Three Wetland Types Across an Alpine Landscape, Niwot Ridge, Colorado

open access: yes, 2021
Wetlands serve as important locations of disproportionately high biogeochemical activity and plant productivity in many lowland regions. However, little is known about the function of alpine wetlands, or about how their biogeochemical cycling compares ...

How Does the Phasianidae Maintain Its Diversity in Central China?

open access: yesEcology 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.

Effects of alpine swamp wetland change on rainfall season runoff and flood characteristics in the headwater area of the Yangtze River [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The effects of changes in alpine swamp wetland (ASW) on rainfall season runoff and flood characteristics have not been quantified adequately in the headwater area of the Yangtze River (HYR).

Females Fly Further—Sex‐Specific and Seasonal Differences in Migration Patterns of Pied Avocets

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
GPS tracking of 122 pied avocets revealed pronounced sex‐ and season‐specific migration strategies, with females migrating further than males, while spring migration was faster and more fragmented than autumn migration. Avocets spent a substantial part of their annual cycle in the Wadden Sea during the post‐breeding period before starting migration to ...
