Multi‐Seasonal eDNA Metabarcoding Highlights a Resurgence in Fish Diversity Across a Severely Impacted Estuarine Ecosystem

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic ecosystems have been in an alarming state of decline for decades. In particular, estuarine ecosystems have experienced long‐term declines in fish diversity due to factors such as habitat degradation, pollution and altered hydrology. Monitoring these systems is often limited by the difficulty and cost of conventional survey methods.

A First Quantification of Plant Endemism in the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe–Mozambique) and the Significance of Open Habitats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We present here the first quantitative assessment of plant endemics from the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe‐Mozambique), totalling 216 taxa, representing over 9% of the estimated total flora. A major finding is that 173 (80%) endemic taxa are principally or entirely confined to open montane habitats such as grassland, bare rock, crags and scrub or dwarf ...

Niche Segregation Between Black‐Necked Crane and Common Crane in Human‐Modified Landscape, Huize Black‐Necked Crane National Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province, Southwestern China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We investigated how Black‐necked Cranes and Common Cranes coexist in agro‐wetland landscapes of southwest China by reconstructing their plant‐based diets using eDNA metabarcoding. Black‐necked Cranes maintained broad, stable diets centered on natural vegetation, while Common Cranes shifted dynamically to energy‐dense crops, leading to progressive niche
