Understanding the human dimensions of wildfire risk at a community level in British Columbia, Canada
Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes, Volume 70, Issue 2, Summer / été 2026.Abstract Recent spikes in the number of large and catastrophic wildfires in Canada pose significant risks to the environment and society. Rural and remote communities are especially at risk due to their location in wildfire‐prone areas, remoteness, and limited access or escape routes.

«Différant des Autres», Espacements et Temporalités Spectrales
Anthropology of Consciousness, Volume 37, Issue 1, Spring 2026.ABSTRACT That night that he agreed to our suggestion that we accompany him outside, for the whole night or until the overflow has passed, M seemed to be in direct contact with all the layers of astronomy, inhabiting all temporalities simultaneously. Outside, lying/sitting on the picnic table, in the pitch‐black darkness of the night in the woods, under

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2630-2651, March 2026.Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.The present study analyzes wildlife species use indices and a vulnerability in the Aledjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo. The Importance Value‐in‐use Index (IVIUsp) indicates that the most valued species are the patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas), the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca), and the green mamba (Dendroaspis viridis).

Seasonal effects of farmer‐managed livestock grazing exclusions on bird communities in Burkina Faso
Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 8, December 2025.Abstract Anthropogenic activities such as livestock grazing and deforestation are primary causes of land degradation in drylands such as the Sahel Zone of Africa, threatening the livelihoods of rural communities and biodiversity. To restore degraded habitats, measures such as farmer‐managed livestock grazing exclusion, where the native vegetation is ...

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 12, Page 3678-3699, December 2025.This study tests how nutrient availability and spatial distribution influence root nutrient acquisition strategies of Vaccinium myrtillus in temperate forests. Greater nutrient availability was associated with shorter, thicker and denser roots, whereas patchy nutrient distribution only increased variability in root phosphatase activity.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3141-3158, November 2025.Diameter growth is an important and good indicator of forest carbon production. However, size‐related changes in wood density, which are usually neglected, are critical for accurate short‐ and long‐term carbon assessments, especially in tropical humid sites.

Fire Histories and Rainforest Aboriginal Archaeology in the Wet Tropics Bioregion, North Queensland
Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 234-269, October 2025.ABSTRACT Unlike the dominant Australian savanna‐sclerophyll vegetation, tropical rainforests do not burn easily. Any evidence of fire in Australian rainforests therefore invites explanations of its source. Analysis of 187 radiocarbon dates that include selected charcoal fragments from 23 soil pits and 7 archaeological sites from the Wet Tropics ...

The surrounding landscape affects ecosystem multifunctionality in oilseed rape fields
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2283-2295, September 2025.Our findings suggest that diverse landscapes are required to ensure the simultaneous delivery of a bundle of ecosystem functions in oilseed rape fields. Altogether, our findings indicate that landscape management should not only promote different semi‐natural elements but also should target limitation of dilution effects.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2460-2475, September 2025.As temperate tree species require warmer temperatures than boreal species, some thermophilous species, such as white pine, increased in abundance at their northern edge during historically warmer periods. Our data reveal that not all temperate species behaved accordingly: maples were scarce during the warm mid‐Holocene, while their abundance increased ...
