Holocene History of the Lower Seine Estuary and the Commerce Valley Tributary (Normandy, France): A Palaeoenvironmental Framework for the Roman Landscape of Juliobona (Lillebonne) and Implication for Port Conditions

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT The sediment infill deposits of the Lower Commerce Valley in the Seine estuary, located near the Roman city of Juliobona (now Lillebonne, Normandy), provide valuable data on environmental changes during the Holocene, including sea‐level changes, sediment supply and anthropogenic influences.

Incorporating Refugia Capacity in Assessing Plant Climate Vulnerability: A Study Case on Alpine Endemics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study assesses the impact of climate change on seven endemic plant species in the Alps by modelling future habitat suitability under different climate scenarios. By identifying long‐term refugia, holdouts and stepping stones, the study reveals species‐specific patterns of persistence and highlights the limited potential for range shifts.

Investigating Anthropogenic and Social Influences on Diet of Semi‐Urban Vervet Monkeys Using DNA Metabarcoding

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We used eDNA metabarcoding of faecal samples to quantify the dietary composition of two vervet monkey populations in a semi‐urban environment in South Africa over a 4‐month period, and compared these results with visual observations. We found that both methods yielded similar results, but eDNA metabarcoding revealed a greater diversity of consumed taxa.

Habitat Structure Shapes Mollusc Assemblages in an Urban Semiarid River: Implications for Conservation and Public Health

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fine‐scale environmental drivers shape freshwater mollusc assemblages in urban semiarid rivers. We examined how substrate composition and water chemistry influence mollusc richness and abundance along a polluted stretch of a river in the Brazilian semiarid region. Surveys at five sites recorded 2479 individuals.

Grow With the Flow? Impact of Experimental Floods on Riparian Vegetation in an Alpine River

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 162-175, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Experimental floods have been proposed as a measure to mitigate effects of river flow regulation, primarily vegetation encroachment, streambed colmation, and loss of bed and channel mobility. In this study, we investigated the short‐ and long‐term biogeomorphic effects of an experimental flood programme conducted in the Spöl River (Swiss Alps)

At‐sea distribution of seals on the Northwest European Shelf: Towards transboundary conservation and management

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study provides the first comprehensive, regionally scalable distribution estimates for pinnipeds across the NWES and its constituent countries. The modelling framework is adaptable to other central‐place and migratory species, supporting transboundary biodiversity assessments and international conservation policy. We discuss common limitations and

A pan‐European citizen science study shows population size, climate and land use are related to biased morph ratios in the heterostylous plant Primula veris

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
A large‐scale citizen science study involving thousands of cowslip (Primula veris) observations from all over Europe revealed an unexpected prevalence of S‐morphs over L‐morphs, which was influenced by climatic as well as land use factors. Furthermore, general morph ratios were often unbalanced with the strongest shifts occurring in smaller populations.

Chimpanzees and Elephants Can Be Used as Reliable Flagship‐Umbrella Species for Eco‐Labels

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study assessed the potential of two flagship species, chimpanzees and elephants, to be used as reliable umbrella species for broader biodiversity conservation around Kibale National Park, Uganda. Using 4 years of camera‐trap and illegal activity data, we modeled species co‐occurrence and species‐specific responses to anthropogenic pressures ...

Mapping the density of giant trees in the Amazon

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 152-168, January 2026.
Summary Tall trees (height ≥ 60 m) are keystone elements of tropical forests, strongly influencing biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecosystem resilience. Yet, their density and spatial distribution remain poorly quantified, especially in remote Amazonian regions, limiting our understanding of their ecological roles and contribution to forest–climate ...
