Niche Conservatism Shapes Invasion Patterns of Opuntia Species Despite Interspecific Differences in Expansion Dynamics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates an integrative framework combining ensemble species distribution models, PCA‐env niche quantification, and MESS similarity mapping to assess niche dynamics across four globally invasive Opuntia species. Results reveal predominant niche conservatism (89.6%–98.2% stability) with soil nutrient availability identified as ...

MaxEnt Projections of Climate‐Driven Distribution Shifts for Daphniphyllum calycinum in China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using an optimized MaxEnt model, this study projects climate‐driven distribution shifts of Daphniphyllum calycinum, an ecologically and medicinally important subtropical tree in China. Results reveal that annual mean temperature and dry season precipitation primarily govern its distribution, with future warming scenarios projecting significant habitat ...

Do Mimic Hoverflies Spatially Match Their Bumblebee Models? Evidence From a Polymorphic Mimicry System

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Polymorphic Batesian mimics are often expected to track the distributions of their respective model species. We found substantial overlap among color morphs of Volucella bombylans and their putative Bombus models, while habitat suitability for Bombus lapidarius positively predicted the occurrence of all three hoverfly morphs.

Coupling Climate Downscaling With Species Distribution Models to Identify Potential Climate Refugia for Giant Panda Forage Bamboos

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study addresses a critical gap in understanding how climate change will affect the foundation of giant panda habitat—its bamboo food resources—at a biologically meaningful scale. While previous assessments often relied on coarse‐resolution climate data, we present the first 30 m‐resolution projections for all 20 key bamboo species across the panda'

Comparative Distribution Projections of Hydrophilic and Xerophytic Invasive Species in Turkey Under CMIP6 Climate Scenarios

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using an ensemble species distribution modelling framework (MaxEnt, Random Forest and Boosted Regression Trees), we compared the projected climate‐driven range shifts of two ecologically contrasting invasive plants in Turkey—the hydrophilic Eichhornia crassipes and the xerophytic Solanum elaeagnifolium —under three CMIP6 scenarios (SSP2‐4.5, SSP3‐7.0 ...
