Effects of Meadow Connectivity on Plant Diversity in China's Poyang Lake: New Perspective of Effective Biodiversity Conservation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Higher meadow connectivity leads to greater plant species richness but also increases plant community similarity. Functional connectivity explains plant diversity patterns better than structural connectivity. ABSTRACT The increasing global habitat fragmentation has led to a marked decline in landscape connectivity, posing a severe threat to ...

The Mean Temperature of the Coldest Season is the Main Factor Influencing the Relationship Between Biodiversity and Biomass in the Desert Shrubland of Western Inner Mongolia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Shrub biomass was directly determined by mean winter temperature and soil pH, whereas species richness had no significant direct effect. Climatic factors modulated the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationship indirectly through biomass, underscoring winter temperature as a critical driver for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change ...

Fire regime shift reveals 17th century socio‐ecological change in the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, New Mexico

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Humans have influenced ecosystems for millennia, and social changes can have notable ecological effects. Recent human influence on ecosystems is exemplified by the collapse of fire regimes circa 1900 in the western United States due to increased grazing, fire suppression, and declining Indigenous fire use.

Effects of wildfire on the distribution of mammals and birds in a working shrub‐steppe landscape

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The intensity, frequency, and extent of wildfire have increased drastically in the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecoregion within Washington, USA, over the last few decades. Wildfire on this landscape, already modified and fragmented by agriculture and other disturbances, may challenge the persistence of wildlife that depend on continuous ...

A Plant‐Derived Functional Oral Formulation Improves Growth Performance and Hepatic Metabolic Function in Poultry Under Heat Stress: A Nutritional Intervention Study

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Heat stress (35°C ± 2°C, 7 day) impaired growth performance, hepatic function, oxidative balance, and autophagy in broilers. Yinhuang oral liquid (YOL), a plant‐derived functional herbal formulation, alleviated these adverse effects by improving feed efficiency, reducing serum TBA, increasing GSH, and decreasing MDA. YOL also enhanced autophagy‐related

Effects of oiling common raven nests on ravens and greater sage‐grouse in sagebrush ecosystems

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
We oiled and sham‐oiled raven nests across 7 sites in the Great Basin to measure the effects of egg‐oiling on co‐occurring populations of ravens and sage‐grouse. Oiling raven eggs ended embryonic development of oiled eggs, reduced raven densities, resulted in more than a doubling of nest‐survival probabilities of sage‐grouse nests, and spurred ...
