Management and incipient domestication of Chamaedorea tepejilote in agroforestry systems in Mexico
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Native wild plants are key elements in addressing global biodiversity loss and supporting sustainable food systems. We investigated how rural communities in Mexico manage Chamaedorea tepejilote, a wild palm with edible male inflorescences, by combining ethnobotanical, genetic, morphological and ecological approaches.

An urban evolved invasive plant tolerates experimental climate change
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Urbanization may drive invasive species evolution, resulting in greater invasion risks as global conditions change. We compared urban populations of the invasive Erigeron annuus in Zagreb, Croatia, to surrounding rural populations and found that urban‐evolved populations were more tolerant of experimental warming and drought than rural populations ...

frontiermetrics: An R Package for Characterizing Deforestation Frontiers
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Deforestation frontiers are major drivers of biodiversity loss, carbon emissions, and ecosystem degradation, yet our understanding of how deforestation progresses in these frontiers is limited. We present frontiermetrics, an R package to quantify a range of metrics describing the speed, severity, and spatio‐temporal patterns of forest loss. The package

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sexual selection in flowering plants often operates through male–male competition, yet the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain difficult to demonstrate. One potential arena for such competition is pollen placement on pollinators, where pollen grains from ...

Tree Squirrels Selectively Disperse High‐Quality Acorns Away From Tree Trunks
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Acorn quality and squirrel feeding behavior significantly structured spatial dispersal patterns of two Californian oak species. Non‐infested acorns were preferentially selected for embryo excision and dispersed farther than infested ones. Acorns were fully consumed near tree trunks, signaling rapid feeding in safe refuges, whereas non‐eaten, partially ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Here, we adopt an integrative framework (molecular phylogenetics and geometric morphometrics) to reassess patterns of diversity and differentiation across this region. We analyzed cytochrome b sequences and quantified cranial shape variation. Our analyses indicate the presence of three species groups (mendocinus, talarum, and tucumanus) and two ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Ips sexdentatus is expanding across southern Europe, attacking multiple Pinus species and showing the ability to colonize trees at early stages of decline. Genetic analysis of 668 individuals revealed 106 haplotypes, with Iberian populations as diversity hotspots, reflecting long‐term refugial persistence alongside more recent demographic expansion ...

Emerging applications of large language models in ecology and conservation science
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Large language models (LLMs) mark a major development in artificial intelligence, with potentially transformative implications for ecology and conservation science. Built on advanced deep‐learning architectures, these models can support a wide range of tasks. We reviewed emerging applications of LLMs, drawing on the wider scientific literature
