Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Shock metamorphism is a ubiquitous process in our solar system. Shock pressure can be related to the lattice strain (ε) of individual minerals within a shocked sample. The lattice strain can be quantified within intact samples by in situ micro‐X‐ray diffraction (μXRD) using the Williamson‐Hall method. The Williamson‐Hall lattice strain (W‐H ε)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Extreme wildfires are becoming more common in California's Sierra Nevada, increasing the need for fuel management to protect ecosystem services such as carbon storage. Because mechanical treatments can be costly or inaccessible in steep or remote terrain, prescribed fire, particularly broadcast burning, provides a cost‐effective strategy for ...

Ant colonization and coarse woody debris decomposition in temperate forests
, 2012 Ants are ubiquitous, abundant and have widespread impacts on ecological communities and ecosystem processes. However, ant effects on coarse woody debris decomposition are unexplored.

Lizards in Dunes and Swales: Habitat Structure and Assemblage Patterns
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Habitat structure mediates thermoregulation, foraging opportunities, and access to refugia, shaping how animals use space and encounter risk. Dune–swale mosaics provide sharp structural contrasts over short distances, offering a natural test of structure–assemblage links and spacing relative to shelter.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 10, Page 1229-1241, October 2026.Vine proliferation is a widespread consequence of tropical forest disturbance, yet its effects on ground‐level predator–prey interactions remain poorly understood. Using plasticine caterpillars deployed on the rainforest floor in north Queensland, Australia, we show that overall predation rates were unaffected by vine‐to‐tree ratio. Instead, fine‐scale

Pyrodiversity and Phylodiversity: Insights on Post‐Fire Forest Communities
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 10, October 2026.Phylogenetic and taxonomic metrics can be useful ways to explore how the reintroduction of fire influences plant community assembly and diversity patterns. We leveraged a dataset of plant community samples collected before and after three fire events, pairing them with the first application of spatial phylogenetic methods at local spatiotemporal scales.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly threatened by human activities and climate change, emphasizing the need for effective habitat restoration supported by long‐term monitoring. We examined fish species responses to instream restoration in six boreal streams in northern Finland over a 24‐year period (1999–2022) using a Before–After–Control ...
