Time to burn: landscape drivers of fuel trait variability and fire regime in savanna ecosystems

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Fuel traits are important determinants of fire behavior and regime in savannas and, thus, of how fire affects plant communities. However, whether these traits are correlated, predictable and how they are influenced by biotic and abiotic drivers remain to be rigorously evaluated.

Meeting Livestock Protein and Amino Acids Needs With Edible Insects: A Critical Review

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2026.
Comparison of the use of traditional protein sources (soybean meal and fish meal) and insects meal in monogastrics and aquaculture (created in BioRender. Luttenschlager, H. (2025) https://BioRender.com/ndztqxp) ABSTRACT The increasing demand for animal‐based protein has led to biodiversity loss, deforestation, pollution, and extensive land use, mainly ...

Elements of the Structure of Macrophyte Metacommunities in Coastal Wetlands: Relationships With Limnological and Climatic Variables

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
We applied the Elements of Metacommunity Structure (EMS) framework to macrophyte communities across coastal wetlands in southern Brazil, identifying distinct distribution patterns among functional groups. Our results show that environmental and climatic factors shape these patterns differently, with emergent species forming Clementsian communities and ...

Multiscale Environmental Drivers of Aquatic Insect Assemblages in Cerrado Streams

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Multi‐scale drivers of aquatic insect communities in Cerrado streams. The gradient (from left to right) indicates increasing spatial scale, showing that abundance is influenced by local factors (conductivity, temperature), taxonomic richness responds to agricultural land use at an intermediate scale, and community composition is structured by regional ...

Anatomical Behaviour of the Phrenic Nerve and Innervation of the Diaphragm in the Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus)

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 55, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The phrenic nerve is responsible for the motor innervation of the diaphragm, which is essential for breathing. The literature lacks data regarding the nervous and respiratory systems of wild animals, especially the maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus).

Grass Communities Differ Floristically Under Different Dominant Trees in Savannas in Thailand and Cambodia

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
In total, we recorded 160 unique grass species across four savanna ecosystems dominated by different tree genera. These savannas support distinct grassy assemblages, but common grasses are often shared between ecosystems. ABSTRACT Southeast Asian savannas are some of the least studied ecosystems, with understanding of their function and resilience ...

When Calves Get Vulnerable, Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) Get Bold: A Camera Trap Record of Opportunistic Foraging in a Fragmented Landscape

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We report the first confirmed record of an ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) dragging a newborn calf in a degraded forest fragment of southeastern Brazil. Using camera trap records, we reveal an opportunistic foraging event involving a vulnerable domestic prey within a highly fragmented landscape.
