Vegetation trajectories over 150 years of temporary ponds created in the Camargue delta (Southern France)

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Temporary ponds in the Mediterranean climate have a high conservation value, but many have been severely destroyed or degraded. Pond restoration and new pond creation have been engaged widely. Evaluations of the success of such operations are generally carried out over 10–15 years and show divergent results over this timeframe. In

Potential Trophic Competition Between the European Perch Perca fluviatilis and Pikeperch Sander lucioperca

open access: yesInternational Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The European perch Perca fluviatilis and pikeperch Sander lucioperca can co‐occur, potentially competing for food resources. However, few studies have addressed the potential feeding competition between these species. We used carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis to assess the potential trophic competition between these species in two ...

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 749-777, April 2026.
Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

A Conceptual Framework for Assessing Comparability Between Corporate Biodiversity Impact Accounting Tools

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 4510-4520, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Integrating corporate biodiversity impacts into investment decisions can direct investments toward nature‐positive firms, creating a market signal. The strength of this signal is a function of how closely investments align. This alignment depends on the comparability (the degree of similarity and difference) of tools used to account for ...

Territorial birds of prey adjust their flight behaviour over the course of the breeding season depending on their breeding success

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Flight plays a central role in the life histories of birds but is extremely energy demanding. Reproduction is also associated with high energy demands. We might thus expect to see differences in movement behaviour between individuals that breed successfully, those that breed unsuccessfully, and those that do not breed, assuming that individuals adapt ...

When honeybees come to town: Critical aspects of urban beekeeping and opportunities for regulation

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 528-540, March 2026.
Abstract Urban areas are increasingly valued for their role in conserving wild pollinators. Honeybees are often regarded as ambassador species for pollinator conservation, and beekeeping is frequently perceived as a pro‐biodiversity activity, which has become highly popular in urban areas.

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 680-692, March 2026.
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Carboniferous fossils enlighten the systematics and evolution of Hemiptera

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Fossils are witnesses to the evolutionary processes undergone by living lineages. The earliest occurrence of clades provides rich insights into the timing of diversification of lineages and better delimits the groups that compose them. Hemiptera are a remarkable order within the insects due to their high morphological and ecological diversity.

A global estimator of C and N isotope baselines for fresh waters

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 992-1006, March 2026.
Abstract Baselines are the pebbles in the shoes of isotope ecologists. The extreme variability of the isotope composition of resources at the base of food webs governs the spatial differences of consumers' isotope composition, so that isotope‐inferred trophic properties can be compared across ecosystems only after correction for baseline effects ...

Urban Microfarms: Hot or Cold Spots for Plants and Soil Biodiversity?

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 2, March–April 2026.
Investigation of soil and plant biodiversity in urban microfarms on the ground and on rooftops. ABSTRACT Urban agriculture plays a key role in urban ecosystems functionality and resilience, and can take many forms: allotment gardens, community garden or urban microfarms.
