An integrated social–ecological–evolutionary–phenotypic (SEEP) approach to understanding animal responses to urbanization

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 419-436, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Humans play key roles in shaping the structure and processes of ecosystems globally, especially in cities. This recognition has prompted a recent focus on understanding urban systems via interactions between human social systems and ecological and evolutionary processes.

Emergence, spread, and impact of high‐pathogenicity avian influenza H5 in wild birds and mammals of South America and Antarctica

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The currently circulating high‐pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus of the subtype H5 causes variable illness and death in wild and domestic birds and mammals, as well as in humans. This virus evolved from the Goose/Guangdong lineage of the HPAI H5 virus, which emerged in commercial poultry in China in 1996, spilled over into wild birds,

Influence of forest cover and sex on wing size and shape of a spider‐hunting wasp in the Brazilian Atlantic forest

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 165-176, February 2026.
Forest cover significantly influences the wing shape of female Trypoxylon lactitarse. Females exhibit longer and narrower wings, linked to greater flight efficiency and dispersal. Sexual dimorphism indicates that females respond differently to ecological pressures, underscoring the role of forest cover in species persistence.

Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 1-17, February 2026.
Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

Rapid Evolution in a Coral Population Following a Mass Mortality Event

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, corals face an increased frequency of mass mortality events (MMEs) as populations experience repeated marine heatwaves which disrupt their obligate algal symbiosis. Despite greater occurrences of MMEs, the relative roles of the environment, host, and symbiont genetic variation in survival, subsequent recovery, and carry‐over effects ...

The Interplay of Climate Change, Urbanisation, and Species Traits Shapes European Butterfly Population Trends

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To examine how butterfly population trends respond to climate change and urbanisation at a continental scale, and whether responses differ between urban and rural environments. Location 869 sites across 12 European countries, spanning six bioclimatic zones. Time Period 1976–2021. Major Taxa Studied Butterflies (Lepidoptera).
