Moth Communities Are More Diverse in the Understory Than in the Canopy of a Tropical Lowland Rainforest in NW Ecuador

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We investigate the stratification of five clades of Lepidoptera: Erebidae‐Arctiinae, Geometridae, Hedylidae, Saturniidae, and Sphingidae in a tropical rain forest of the Chocó region in NW Ecuador. Average species richness was higher in the understory, median sample sizes were similar between strata and we found more species in regenerating forests ...

Rapid Surveys Reveal Temporal Variation in Flowering Community Phenology in a Great Basin Desert Ecosystem

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Across four years of surveys in an arid Great Basin ecosystem, community flowering phenology showed strong seasonal, interannual, and trait‐based variation, with most differences occurring in spring and little variation in fall. Flowering patterns broadly corresponded with interannual climate variability, consistent with the importance of moisture ...

Forage Species and Nutrition Among Reintroduced Banteng (Bos javanicus d'Alton, 1823) in Salakphra Wildlife Sanctuary and Khao Kiew–Khao Chompoo Wildlife Sanctuary, Thailand

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Dietary management is an important factor affecting the health and survival of critically endangered wildlife. The natural habitat showed a significant seasonal difference which was also higher than in introduced habitat. Reintroduced banteng exhibit dietary flexibility and adaptability to different natural habitats.

Early Assessment of the Invasiveness of the Alien Plant Vernonia amygdalina Del. Introduced in China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study evaluates the invasion potential of Vernonia amygdalina by synthesizing evidence on its taxonomic background, morphological and life‐history traits, reproductive strategies, allelopathic effects, defense mechanisms, climatic suitability, and human‐mediated introduction and cultivation practices.

Plant diversity estimates of Mediterranean islands differ among biodiversity databases

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Large‐scale biodiversity databases encompass three main types of data for plants, namely single species point occurrences, co‐occurrences in vegetation plots, and checklists for specific areas. Evidence shows that such data types exhibit specific biases, reporting different species assemblages at local scales.

Environmental heterogeneity and spatial variation mediates plant diversity and ecosystem stability in mountain ecosystems of the Mediterranean Andes

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Globally, mountains are highly diverse ecosystems that serve as natural laboratories for testing ecological theories, while providing vital ecosystem services. Their biodiversity arises from the interaction between elevational gradients and topographic complexity, which generate strong variation in environmental conditions across short spatial scales ...
