Estimating Plant Species Richness With Sentinel and Landsat Data Across Ecosystems in China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
438 field plots were used to estimate plant diversity across ecosystems; 18 spectral indices were derived from Sentinel and Landsat data; EVI, DVI, PSRI, NDVI, PRI, GNDVI, and GMEVI were identified as powerful indicators for predicting plant alpha diversity.

Metabarcoding Analysis Reveals Microbial Diversity and Its Environmental Drivers in the Pantanos de Villa Lagoons in Lima—Peru

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study characterized, for the first time, the microbial diversity in four lagoons of the Pantanos de Villa Wildlife Refuge in Lima, Peru, using 16S rRNA marker gene metabarcoding and identified the physicochemical drivers that influence the microbial community structure of these lagoons.

Integrating Molt Migration Into Physiological Assessments of Inter‐Population Stress in a Globally Endangered Species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Feather corticosterone (fCORT) provides a powerful indicator of population‐level physiological responses to human disturbance, yet its interpretation is complicated by variation across taxa, habitats, and molt‐movement strategies. Using stable isotope analyses to account for molt migrants in the globally endangered Scaly‐sided Merganser (Mergus ...

On the Limits of Alpine Plants: A Systematic Review of the Factors Behind Species' Elevational Range Limits

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This systematic review of 107 studies on the factors behind the elevational range limits of alpine vascular plants shows a persistent emphasis on upper limits and abiotic factors, especially temperature, while work at lower limits is more evenly distributed across water availability, plant–plant interactions, and selection/local adaptation.

Coyote Range Expansion in the Human‐Modified Tropics of Mesoamerica

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Coyotes have expanded their range into southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, increasingly occupying human‐modified landscapes. This expansion is ongoing, with rising detection rates over time and records in both disturbed and forested environments, highlighting a paradox where anthropogenic change enables native carnivore expansion.

Multiscale Threats Shape the Occurrence Dynamics of a Threatened Aquatic Salamander and Reveal a Possible Extinction Debt

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi) is a threatened large aquatic salamander endemic to North Carolina, USA. Site‐specific habitat quality, the proportion of developed landcover in the watershed, and annual drought intensity operate in concert to drive the species' occurrence dynamics.

Deltaic coastal wetlands

1989
Modern-day deltas exist in a wide variety of settings. Despite the various environmental contrasts, all actively prograding deltas have at least one common attribute: a river supplies clastic sediment to the coast and inner shelf more rapidly than it can be removed by marine processes. The most important processes controlling the geometry and landforms

Coastal wetlands buffer delineation

1987
The objectives of the present investigation were a) tomeasure the levels of direct human disturbance occurring in a variety of wetland/development systems in order to assess the effectiveness of existing buffers in limiting the level of wetland disturbance/ b) to describe changes in wetland plant communities attributable to physical disturbance/ and c)
