Phylogenetics, Niche Evolution, and Distribution Dynamics of Isatis Species Under Climate Change

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study systematically elucidates the adaptive evolution of Isatis species from the perspective of life‐history strategies and niche evolution, highlights the increased extinction risk faced by wild relatives, and provides a critical scientific basis for the conservation and sustainable use of the germplasm resources of this genus.

Alpha and beta diversity of birds along elevational vegetation zones on the southern slope of Altai Mountains: Implication for conservation

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
1: Understanding species diversity patterns is important for conservation planning. We studied birds’ alpha and beta diversity along vegetation gradients in three watersheds in the Altai Mountains, a global biodiversity hotspot; and tested whether ...

First Record of Dark‐sided Flycatcher (Muscicapa sibirica) for Temperate North America: Intercontinental Vagrancy and Migratory Misorientation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We document the extraordinary occurrence of a Dark‐sided Flycatcher (Muscicapa sibirica)—a migratory passerine from East Asia—in California, USA. We discuss the little‐known phenomenon of intercontinental vagrancy in migratory landbirds and examine this case study in detail, providing analysis of the age, molt status, subspecies, and likely origins of ...

Zone Matcher: A climate‐based web application for deployment and assisted migration of forest trees

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Populations of forest trees are generally adapted to the climates they inhabit. The farther trees are moved from their local climates, the more long‐term growth and survival tend to decrease. Current tree deployment and assisted migration rely on “climate distance thresholds” (CDTs), which are climatic distances beyond which tree performance ...

Pterophorus poculidactyla sp. n. from the Altai Mountains (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae) [PDF]

, 2001
Pterophorus poculidactyla sp. n. is described from the Altai Mountains. Two male specimens were collected by net in late June 2000 on an alpine meadow at an elevation of 2500 m. The new taxon is a close relative to P.

Free rein: Are feral horses competing with native ungulates in British Columbia?

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
We investigated little‐studied feral horses in west‐central British Columbia, Canada, as a potential competitor for native moose and mule deer. We did not find strong evidence that feral horses exclude moose or deer from habitat or resources at a large landscape scale or smaller spatiotemporal patch scale.

Tracing the origin of the east-west population admixture in the Altai region (Central Asia).

PLoS ONE, 2012
A recent discovery of Iron Age burials (Pazyryk culture) in the Altai Mountains of Mongolia may shed light on the mode and tempo of the generation of the current genetic east-west population admixture in Central Asia. Studies on ancient mitochondrial DNA

Effects of Surface Characteristics on the Existence of Isolated Permafrost in Northeastern Mongolia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 240-253, April/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Isolated patches of permafrost, where ground thermal changes are affected by ecosystem factors such as vegetation cover rather than climate, may be vulnerable to environmental disturbances in semiarid regions. However, the impacts of ecosystem factors remain underevaluated in Mongolia.

Scythris clavella (Zeller, 1855) in Italy (Lepidoptera, Gelechioidea, Scythrididae)

Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research, 2016
During an extensive collection of Lepidoptera in Reatini Mountains (Central Apennines, Italy) a male of Scythris clavella (Zeller, 1855) was collected. This species is distributed in Central and Southern Europe and eastwards to Bulgaria, Greece, Southern
