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

Ecology 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 ...

Glacial refugia, postglacial dynamics, and hybrid zones of Pinaceae in Eurasia captured from sedimentary ancient DNA

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Boreal forests cover nearly one‐third of global forest area. Glacial cycles have shaped the distribution and connectivity of modern Pinaceae genera, yet species‐level refugia, postglacial migrations, and hybridization patterns remain unclear due to limited high‐resolution taxonomic and temporal data. We applied a hybridization capture approach

Study on Water Consumption Law of Typical Alpine Meadow and Alpine Swamp Wetland Vegetation in Qinghai-Xizang Plateau

Gaoyuan qixiang, 2022
In order to reveal the water consumption characteristics of typical alpine meadow and alpine swamp wetland on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau， taking alpine meadow in Maqin area and alpine swamp wetland in Yushu Longbao area of Qinghai-Xizang Plateau as observation stations， the actual evapotranspiration was taken as the research object.The eddy correlation

The seed bank created by the dung of large herbivores drives seed circulation in an alpine meadow

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Seed circulation (i.e., sexual reproduction) is vital for the regeneration of aboveground grassland vegetation (AGV). It occurs in several steps: seed production (seed rain, SR), dispersal (endozoochory, i.e., dung seed bank, DSB), formation of the soil seed bank (SSB), germination, seedling growth, and establishment of adult plants.

Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?

A New and Minuscule Annual Species of Montia (Montiaceae) From Alpine Fens in Otago, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Montia minuscula Heenan is recognised as a new species from alpine habitats in Otago, South Island, New Zealand. It is currently known from only two locations, one in the Old Man Range (Kopuwai Conservation Area) and another in The Remarkables. It grows in palustrine fens that are associated with groundwater seepage such as from snowmelt and snowbanks.

Evaluating commonly used tools to quantify human activity for protected area management

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1692-1704, June 2026.
Abstract Recreation in protected areas (PAs) is growing worldwide, potentially conflicting with wildlife and ecosystem protection. Efficiently estimating human activity in PAs is crucial for balancing a dual mandate of supporting visitor access and biodiversity, but managers lack clear recommendations about the conditions under which specific tools are

Inter‐Annual Variation in Alpha and Beta Diversity of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Communities in Agricultural Ditches

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 997-1010, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Ditches are essential elements of the agricultural landscape because of their role as habitat or refuge for aquatic species, especially in homogenized and intensively cultivated areas. However, data on the biodiversity associated with agricultural ditches, and its variation over time, are underrepresented in ecological research.
