A primer on forest structure measurement with lidar for ecologists

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Light detection and ranging (lidar) technology has fundamentally advanced the way we measure forest structure, facilitating new insights into ecological processes. Lidar for forest ecology applications is deployed on multiple types of platforms that operate from the ground, air, or space, and each has associated strengths and limitations ...

DNA barcoding for identification of species involved in wildlife strikes at Brazilian airports

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
A collaborative network of 42 Brazilian airports applied DNA barcoding to identify 80 species involved in wildlife strikes. Among them, 32 species (17 birds and 15 bats) were not currently available in Brazil's wildlife strike reporting database, underscoring the value of molecular tools for strengthening wildlife strike monitoring. Abstract This study

Dicrananthera hedyotidea C. Presl. (Melastomataceae) in Maranhão state, Brazil: first record and ecological niche model of the species

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Dicrananthera C. Presl. is a monospecific genus of the tribe Marcetieae, comprising perennial herbs typically occurring in areas adjacent to wetlands. The species exhibits a disjunct distribution, with confirmed records in both the Amazon and Atlantic Forest domains.

Cybianthus anthuriophyllus (Primulaceae), a new record for the flora of Colombia: distribution modeling and conservation assessment

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Cybianthus anthuriophyllus (Primulaceae) was previously known from eastern Ecuador and northern Peru. Here we document the first confirmed occurrences of this species in Colombia and develop a distribution model based on collections from the Andean–Amazonian foothills of Caquetá, Cauca, and Putumayo departments, in order to clarify its conservation ...

The impact of tropical forests on local climate: Comparing recent research with conservation practitioner information priorities

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2828-2846, August 2026.
Abstract The local‐scale climate impacts of tropical forests (LCIF), such as reducing temperatures and increasing rainfall, are directly relevant to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Strengthening understanding of these local climate benefits can encourage actions to conserve natural forests, with positive implications for climate resilience ...

New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus

Revisiting the nomenclature of Carludovica microcephala, type species of Dicranopygium (Cyclanthaceae)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The name Carludovica microcephala, basionym of the type species of Dicranopygium (Cyclanthaceae), has long been attributed to J.D. Hooker (1892), based on plants cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. A reassessment of nineteenth‐century horticultural literature shows that the name had already been validly published 35 years earlier, in

Can a Persistence‐Based Prediction of GRACE Gravity Field Coefficients Reduce Uncertainties at Finer Temporal Scales?

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Enhancing the applicability of Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) products poses challenges due to the trade‐off between the temporal and the spatial resolution within limits posed by the mission design. If a Kalman filter framework was adopted to characterize the relationship between monthly and finer temporal scales, it could ...

Cascading River‐Lake Hydrological Regulation Reshapes Carbon Budgets of Floodplain Lakes in the Yangtze River Basin

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The carbon budget of floodplain lakes is regulated by natural hydrological processes, yet the role of human interventions, including cascade river‐lake hydraulic projects, remains unclear. We evaluated the combined effects of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) located on the Yangtze River and the proposed lake‐specific hydraulic projects (LHPs) on the

Global River Discharge Projections From a Large Multi‐Model Ensemble of CMIP6 and ISIMIP3b Simulations

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Rivers are central to the global hydrological cycle, supporting ecosystems and human water use. River discharge, one of the best observed hydrological variables, is expected to change under anthropogenic warming with potentially devastating consequences.
