Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract High‐impact precipitation events (HIPEs) in mountainous regions are frequently associated with severe flooding, landslides, and significant impacts on infrastructure and human safety. However, a comprehensive understanding of their spatio‐temporal distribution and underlying atmospheric drivers across the European Alps is still lacking.

How vulnerable are amphibians to climate change? A mechanistic perspective
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1550-1560, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Amphibians are frequently identified as highly vulnerable to climate change, yet the mechanisms driving this sensitivity remain uncertain. Approaches that explicitly link physiological mechanisms to environmental variation provide powerful tools for forecasting climate ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.We show that deadwood volume is a reliable, taxon‐specific indicator of the presence of red‐listed bryophytes and fungi but not lichens. By explicitly focusing on threatened species and deriving statistically defined thresholds from managed boreal forests, our study provides empirical benchmarks that go beyond commonly used biodiversity indicators. The

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 ...

The Aggregation of Fish in the Metalimnion Constrains Zooplankton Diel Vertical Migration
Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT The role of fish predation in zooplankton diel vertical migration (DVM) is well established, where zooplankton move to deep waters during the day—to hide from visual predators in surface layers—and return to the epilimnion at night (i.e., ‘normal’ DVM), to feed on phytoplankton.
