Reconciling morphological and molecular approaches: The integrative taxonomy of Leucobryum (Leucobryaceae) in the Malagasy region

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Leucobryum (Leucobryaceae) is a genus of moss (Bryophyta) that has been poorly investigated in Africa, particularly in the western Indian Ocean region. This study integrates morphological and molecular data to revise the taxonomy of the genus in this area.

Trade‐offs between soil biodiversity and agricultural expansion: Evidence from litter decomposition dynamics in Madagascar

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2560-2574, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐Field Advantage (HFA) theory—positing that litter decomposes faster at its site of origin—allows us to disentangle the respective influences of litter quality, soil biota composition, and microclimate on shifts in litter decomposition following land use conversion.

Using thermal death time models to analyze cold stress resistance across Drosophila species

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2363-2378, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Chill susceptible insects such as Drosophila are vulnerable to progressive disruption of homeostasis during cold stress, and low‐temperature exposure is a key factor affecting their physiology and distribution.

Understanding mammal avoidance of human settlements

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1504-1517, August 2026.
Terrestrial mammals often avoid human settlements, but is this a result of human activity around buildings or the built infrastructure per se? Using data on animal movement before and during the COVID‐19 lockdowns, this paper disentangles these effects, showing how changes in human mobility affect animals' avoidance of buildings. Abstract Anthropogenic

Hypervolume Trait Spaces Reveal Similarities but Also Functional Differentiation Across Riparian, Roadside and Field Margin Habitats

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To characterize plant species pools and functional diversity of three common linear habitats—riparian corridors, roadsides and field margins—and to evaluate their potential roles in regional biodiversity conservation, particularly regarding invasive and threatened species.

First record of Serangium montazerii (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): A new exotic predator of Aleurocanthus spiniferus (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in Greece

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 56, Issue 2, Page 357-363, August 2026.
Abstract The biodiversity of Greek agroecosystems is constantly changing, with the influx of new species reshaping food webs. The present study contributes to the documentation of Greek fauna by reporting, for the first time, the occurrence of the Asian predatory ladybird Serangium montazerii Fürsch (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). The species was detected

Two Secondary Introductions From a Shared Bridgehead Population Show Evidence of Divergent and Parallel Selection

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions offer large‐scale experiments for examining rapid evolution and testing the predictability of adaptive change. Assessing the repeatability of such adaptive responses, however, requires replicated introductions that share similar demographic and environmental contexts. Single introduction events are common during biological
