Diet Switching and Interspecific Competition in Sympatric Steppe Ungulates Under Seasonal Resource Variability

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanisms of competition and coexistence among sympatric species is crucial for deepening our understanding of interspecific interactions and informing the conservation of rare and endangered wildlife. In this study, we utilized DNA macro‐barcoding technology to analyze the seasonal dietary habits of Kiang (Equus kiang) and ...

CAREx: context-aware read extension of paired-end sequencing data

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics
Background Commonly used next generation sequencing machines typically produce large amounts of short reads of a few hundred base-pairs in length. However, many downstream applications would generally benefit from longer reads.

Traits and functions of alpine plant communities respond strongly but not always sufficiently to in situ climate change

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1173-1187, February 2026.
Summary Increasing climate warming and summer droughts are known to affect mountain plant communities, their functional traits and life strategies. However, little is known about how strongly and efficiently communities respond to climate change, and how tightly plant responses are linked to responses of ecosystem functions.

GATHERING THE HARVEST: THE COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTATION OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE IN ROMAN CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH

open access: yesOxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 68-92, February 2026.
Summary When Rome colonized Britain, it created a transport network spanning the province. This transformed the Iron Age economy, creating large new markets which in turn supported specialized manufacturing. This article explores the impact of transportation on Roman agriculture – the core of the Romano‐British economy.

Temperature and the evolution of flower color: A review

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Flower colors brighten our natural world. How and why have they evolved? How might ongoing global warming alter their evolutionary trajectories? In this review, I examine the influence of ambient temperature on the evolution of flower color.

Habitat‐Based Predictions of Bridle Shiner (Notropis bifrenatus) in the Northeastern United States

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We developed local and regional models for Maine and New Hampshire that may be used to focus bridle shiner (Notropis bifrenatus) surveys on areas with high predicted habitat suitability. This is significant because bridle shiners receive protection or concern status in thirteen states and two Canadian provinces: Limited data show that bridle shiners ...

Spatiotemporal Impacts of Forest Fires on Mountain Vegetation: A Case Study From Langtang National Park, Nepal Himalaya

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
A good positive correlation was found between maximum temperature and burn area; increased temperature relates to an increase in fire activity and larger burn areas. Grassland and needle leaf forests are the major land cover types with relatively high fire frequency, likely due to flammable biomass and seasonal dryness, while broad leaved closed ...
