Large parameter uncertainty persists in soil food web models integrating stoichiometry, respiration and assimilation

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil food web models are essential for linking animal diversity to carbon and nutrient cycling. However, it is unclear how soil animals regulate excess carbon when nutrient availability limits their growth and how to best represent animal respiration in these models. To

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Lack of Compliance in Gillnet Fisheries Regulations Increases Risk to a Vulnerable Species

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of regulatory compliance in a Brazilian gillnet fishery, based on Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking data. Satellite transmissions records, interpreted as proxies for gillnet haulings events, were analyzed and classified using a neural network to assess the level of compliance of the gillnet fleet.

Predictive evolutionary genomics: principles, validation, and practice

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change and habitat loss are driving rapid evolutionary responses in populations world‐wide, which creates an urgent need for evolutionary forecasting in conservation and agriculture. Such forecasting can be categorized into three time scales: trait‐based models that use multivariate quantitative genetic equations to project correlated ...

Island Invader: Rugulopteryx okamurae and the Challenge for Macaronesian Coasts

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Since 2015, Rugulopteryx okamurae, a brown seaweed native to the Northwest Pacific, has become one of the most conspicuous marine invaders in the European continental coastal waters. Its recent establishment in the Macaronesian archipelagos (the Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands) has produced significant ecological changes, including ...

Landscape configuration and soil properties shape ant‐mediated seed dispersal in tropical dry forest agricultural landscapes

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1476-1487, August 2026.
We show that ant‐mediated seed dispersal components respond differently to local soil conditions and landscape structure in Caatinga agricultural mosaics. Low‐intensity rainfed croplands maintained or enhanced seed removal compared to natural remnants, highlighting how small‐scale agriculture can sustain key ecological processes in human‐modified dry ...

Digitalising biodiversity: Exploring perceptions on risks and opportunities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1366-1377, July 2026.
Digitalisation is transforming biodiversity conservation, offering new opportunities for research, governance and public engagement. Herbarium digitisation, for example, enables large‐scale access to plant data, supporting conservation, restoration and sustainable use.
