Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2726-2736, September 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

From individuals to networks: The role of variation in plant–pollinator communities' responses to global change

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 9, Page 1586-1597, September 2026.
This paper argues that variation among individuals—not just species differences—can shape the sensitivity, robustness and resilience of plant–pollinator communities under global change. By linking individual traits and interaction structure to network dynamics, it provides a new framework and future research directions for predicting community ...

Ten rules for using evidence to guide ecosystem restoration

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
These 10 rules provide a guidance framework to put into action the best available evidence, ensuring that restoration benefits people and nature. We highlight the importance of knowledge brokering systems in this process, effectively informed and empowered to fulfil their emerging role across existing institutions and new ones dedicated to Science ...

A 4D geometric morphometrics workflow to quantify complex biological motion

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 9, Page 2616-2628, September 2026.
Abstract Quantifying biological motion is fundamentally tied to quantifying the biological structures that produce that motion. Yet, this dependence makes it essential to decouple motion from static morphology to enable general, comparable analyses across individuals and conditions. In this work, we present a methodological pipeline to study biological

Muralismo como encargo participativo: Holografía de lo (in)visible en comunidades a’i cofán de la selva colombiana

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, Volume 37, Issue 2, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT When mural art in indigenous communities is commissioned as a participatory project, several methodological, epistemological, and aesthetic questions arise. This text proposes a horizontal and investigative approach to what we can simply call ‘muralism in the A'i Cofán community context,’ not as significant works executed in communities, but ...

Biogeographic Disconnect and Biotic Homogenization in the Heart of the Amazon: Dominance of Exotic Species in Urban Trees

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
Exotic taxa dominate the urban woody flora, with potentially invasive species posing a direct risk to adjacent primary forest remnants. Historical management has favored a simplified, cosmopolitan species pool over regional biodiversity. There is failure to implement local native‐priority mandates, offering concrete ecological targets for urban ...

COVID‐19 Lockdown Reshaped Communities of Urban Soil Arthropods

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Human activities drive resource availability and biodiversity patterns in urban ecosystems. By studying terrestrial arthropods during and after the COVID‐19 lockdown in a tropical metropolis, we show that the return of anthropogenic food subsidies in public spaces after the pandemic not only increased arthropod diversity and biomass but also ...
