Functional distinctiveness and rarity highlight climate vulnerability of mountain birds
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract The loss of both functionally distinct and geographically restricted (i.e., rare) species can limit the capacity of ecological communities to respond to ongoing environmental changes. Mountains, which harbor high biodiversity and unique species, are particularly vulnerable to rapidly shifting climate conditions and remain understudied compared

Balancing moult, migration, and breeding in a long‐lived partially migrant raptor
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.Moult, breeding, and migration are the three major life‐history events in the annual cycle of birds. All are energetically demanding processes that rarely overlap. In large raptors such as the Egyptian vulture Neophron percnopterus, completing a full moult may take more than one year, requiring birds to balance this process with other life‐cycle events.

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.The Eurasian steppe area has been a dynamic vegetation biome during the Pleistocene with its repeated cycles of forest advances and retreats. Such a scenario allows the evolution of ecotypes at the ecotone with the potential for parallel evolution in different parts of the distribution area.

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 680-692, March 2026.This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Effects of that policy upon different ethnic groups within Russia, however, have not received systematic attention.

Eocene belemnites from Hungary
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract The Middle Eocene nummulitic limestone at Dudar, Transdanubian Hungary, has yielded several belemnite rostra during the last 60–70 years. The correct interpretation of these fossils was made possible by the fact that one of these specimens retained the remnants of the conotheca within the alveolus, while others preserved the conical, tapering ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) exhibit complex life cycles, strong host dependencies, and unusual dispersal strategies, yet community‐level ecological analyses remain rare. We aimed to identify the environmental drivers of Meloidae assemblage structure and species richness, assess whether species responses are taxonomically ...
