Forest type and leaf habit mediate thermal and drought tolerance across a tropical elevational gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding how local climate patterns select for thermal and drought tolerance traits is needed to predict differential responses to climate change across complex ecosystems.

Harnessing social media data to track species range shifts

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs and citizen science data remain heavily biased toward the Global North. Especially in megadiverse countries with limited biodiversity records, incorporating social media data can help address existing data gaps.

Elevation, rather than land use, causes important dietary shifts in the Mediterranean golden eagle

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
In an ever‐changing landscape, golden eagles in the Iberian Peninsula demonstrate remarkable dietary adaptability. We monitored 50 distinct breeding events over 4 years using camera traps, collecting over 520 000 images. Elevation, rather than land use, emerged as the main driver of prey composition: lagomorphs and columbiforms dominated at lower ...

Wealth inequality and epidemics in the Republic of Venice (1400–1800)

The Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 811-849, May 2026.
Abstract This article analyses wealth inequality in the Republic of Venice during 1400–1800. The availability of a large database of homogeneous inequality measurements allows us to produce the most in‐depth study of the factors affecting inequality at the local level available thus far for any preindustrial society.

Use of species’ responses to cryptic anthropogenic disturbances for monitoring biodiversity outcomes in tropical forests

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Athletes at altitude [PDF]

The Journal of Physiology, 1967
1. Six international middle‐distance runners were investigated during 4 weeks in England and during a similar period in Mexico City (2270 m (7450 ft.))2. In 3‐mile (4828 m) time trials at 2270 m the increase in time taken by four subjects compared with sea level was 8·5% on the 4th day and 5·7% on the 29th day.

Amphibians' Expansion to Record Elevations Influences Chytrid (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) Infection Dynamics

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Peruvian frogs underwent a climate‐driven range expansion into deglaciating mountains, exposing themselves and their fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) to challenging new thermal environments. Bd has dispersed extensively in these new habitats, and elevation may mediate the apparent sublethal impacts of infection for frogs.
