Beyond species loss: Community reshuffling shapes biodiversity along the urban–rural gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our results indicate that species turnover is a general ecological mechanism shaping vertebrate communities along the urban gradient, driven by taxon‐ and species‐specific responses to environmental and spatial features. Community differences primarily reflect habitat suitability rather than dispersal limitation, highlighting the potential of targeted ...

Contrasting direct and indirect effects of roe deer on herb layer vegetation in gaps and closed canopies

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 6, June 2026.
Forest gaps primarily reshape herb layer composition by increasing light availability and shrub layer encroachment. Roe deer influence herb layer community assembly both directly and indirectly via modification of the shrub layer and light availability and thus shifting plant–plant competition.

Assessing the Role of Mixed Tree Species in Mitigating Ash Dieback: Insights From Greenhouse Experiments

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Since its introduction, ash dieback has been a disease affecting ash (Fraxinus excelsior) stands across nearly their entire range. As the disease cannot be contained, various options for mitigating its severity have been explored in numerous studies.

Assessment of mineral nutrients and risk elements in plants growing on soils polluted by magnesite emissions

Plant, Soil and Environment
Changes in the content of mineral nutrients (Ca, Mg, K, Na) and risk elements (Mn, Cd) in the assimilatory organs of selected plant species were studied along the altitudinal gradient of A‒D zones polluted by alkaline emissions from the magnesite factory

Tree‐ring structure determines the temporal coordination between xylem growth and the gain in hydraulic conductivity in the outermost ring

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3732-3746, June 2026.
Summary The study of seasonal xylem hydraulics has predominantly focused on embolism‐induced losses, whereas growth‐driven increases in hydraulic capacity have received little attention. We assessed the intra‐annual dynamics of xylem formation and gain of conductivity in the current‐year ring of three species with contrasting tree‐ring structure ...

Leaf, Stomata and Trichome Morphology of the species in Carpinus Genus

تاکسونومی و بیوسیستماتیک, 2012
The species of Carpinus genus are widely distributed in the Hyrcanian and Arasbaran forests. Previous researches identified the species only by leaf and seed macro-morphological traits. Leaf morphological variations in the different ecological conditions

Influence of temperature and light on the development of moth larvae: Different response in the sister species Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 363-376, June 2026.
Experimental rearing of Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi larvae under four controlled climate‐chamber treatments (15°C vs. 20°C; 24h darkness vs.12h light/12h dark) to isolate temperature and light effects on development. Repeated measurements of larval body size, biomass and pupation timing to quantify how growth rates and developmental duration ...
