New opportunities for grassland species in warming temperate winters

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1138-1150, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Temperate winters are getting warmer, the length of the growing season is increasing and mid‐winter fluctuations of warm and freezing temperatures are more frequent. Although typically winter dormant, some herbaceous perennials can maintain or grow green leaves during ...

Living by the lake: Plant food diversity in a prehistoric lake‐dwelling community in the Republic of North Macedonia

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S47-S68, May 2026.
Abstract This paper explores the relationship between wetland ecosystems and prehistoric lakeshore settlements within the Lake Ohrid basin (a biodiversity hotspot) by considering plant food systems at Ploča Mičov Grad, North Macedonia. The mid‐fifth millennium (c.4555–4373 to 4437–4241 cal BCE) waterlogged assemblage contained a diverse spectrum of ...

Four near-complete genome assemblies reveal the landscape and evolution of centromeres in Salicaceae

open access: yesGenome Biology
Background Centromeres play a crucial role in maintaining genomic stability during cell division. They are typically composed of large arrays of tandem satellite repeats, which hinder high-quality assembly and complicate our efforts to understand their ...

Wet Season Carbon (δ13C) and Nitrogen (δ15N) Composition of Modern Plants as Isotopic Framework for Agropastoral and Palaeoecological Studies in Northern Greece

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S150-S160, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Mediterranean wetlands are one of Europe's most vital and endangered biodiversity hotspots. This study determined the carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope values of modern plants to construct an isotopic framework by which to contextualize agropastoral management in and around past wetland ecosystems.

Landscape genetics reveal broad and fine‐scale population structure due to landscape features and climate history in the northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens) in North Dakota [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Prehistoric climate and landscape features play large roles structuring wildlife populations. The amphibians of the northern Great Plains of North America present an opportunity to investigate how these factors affect colonization, migration, and current

Exploring the complexity of community perceptions toward Przewalski's gazelle conservation

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
To understand local perceptions toward Przewalski's gazelle conservation, we combined two clustering analysis methods to identify four primary types of perspectives and key influencing factors regarding the conservation of Przewalski's gazelle within the local community.

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

From Purpose to Persistence: How Intentional Introductions by Humans Influence Ecological Niches of Non‐Native Plants

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The intentional or unintentional transport of non‐native plants is key to overcoming geographic barriers. However, it remains unclear whether such introduction pathways associate with overcoming environmental barriers, which is key for successful invasion.
