Reciprocal relations shape cultural landscapes: Women's environmental stewardship in Ait Bouguemez (High Atlas, Morocco)

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2847-2865, August 2026.
Abstract Mountain social–ecological systems encompass steep ecological gradients and diverse cultural practices, yet the relative roles of these factors in shaping mountain landscapes remain underexplored. In particular, the knowledge and practices of women in coproducing biocultural landscapes are often invisible in the academic literature. In the Ait

Tree canopy shapes the survival of oak and beech saplings during the regeneration stage along an elevation‐driven temperature gradient

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Forests are complex, multilayered systems in which canopy cover strongly influences understorey microclimates. Here, we show that the temperature‐buffering effect of the forest canopy affects tree regeneration differently among species along an elevation gradient in the French Pyrenees.

Diverging Effects of Elevation on Species Richness of Freshwater Organisms: A Global Meta‐Analysis

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT A primary ecological challenge is to disentangle how abiotic factors affect species richness using measured environmental variables in addition to broad proxies such as elevation. Considering direct ecogeographical gradients, such as climate harshness, it is therefore essential to understand whether these underlying abiotic factors might ...

Altitude illness

BMJ, 2003
Summary points: Altitude related illness is rare at altitudes below 2500 metres but is common in travellers to 3500 metres or more. The occurrence is increased by a rapid gain in altitude and reduced by a slow ascent, allowing time for acclimatisation. For most travellers, altitude related illness is an unpleasant but self limiting and benign syndrome,

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

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1933-1945, June 2026.
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, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
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.

First record of Epidendrum schunkei D.E. Benn & Christenson (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae) from the southwestern Andes of Ecuador

ACI Avances en Ciencias e Ingenierías, 2015
Epidendrum schunkei D.E. Benn & Christenson was collected at foothill semideciduous and evergreen forests in the province of El Oro, Ecuador. This species was previously known from the extreme northwestern Andes of Peru, and the Ecuadorian localities
