Seed dispersal by brown bears promotes trophic facilitation in a human‐dominated landscape

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seed dispersal is a key ecological process with wide‐ranging implications for plant population dynamics, forest regeneration, and biodiversity maintenance. The role of carnivores and omnivores as endozoochorous dispersers is increasingly acknowledged.

High climatic niche stability across life stages in Swiss forest tree species

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Do Swiss trees change their niche as they grow? Studying 43 species across Switzerland, we found that most don't! Juveniles and adults share similar climatic niches, with ontogenetic shifts being small and still seemingly unrelated to climate change.

The Interplay Between Forest Succession and Soil Properties Shapes Microbial Community Dynamics After Land Abandonment

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the response of soil microbial community to spontaneous afforestation—a natural rewilding process that has been progressing for decades across national and European landscapes following land abandonment. The research was conducted at two Italian sites: the Foreste Casentinesi National Park (CF) and Julian Prealps (JP ...

Human Disturbance but Not Predation Risk Is Associated With Increased Vigilance in Roe Deer

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 5, Page 336-348, May 2026.
Roe deer vigilance is lower in natural than in modified habitats, decreases with group size, but is not significantly influenced by stable wolf presence, suggesting habitat‐driven risk perception and reliance on spatial avoidance over increased alertness.
