Growth, mortality and regeneration responses to ecological forestry treatments are shaped by local factors, species, and initial treatment impact

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
In mixed stands, coniferous species showed growth benefits when coexisting with broadleaf species, possibly due to reduced intraspecific competition or improved access to resources mediated by broadleaf neighbours. This growth advantage was not observed for broadleaf species, indicating asymmetric benefits in mixed stands.

Marécages, une pollution par essence? Conditions d'une écopoétique des marais et autres zones humides au XXe siècle

open access: yesOrbis Litterarum, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 271-280, June 2026.
Abstract To expose the pollution of marshes and swamps, whether by hydrocarbons or other contaminants, the French or Francophone author of the twentieth century must first confront a literary tradition that equates stagnant water with a volatile poison and, more broadly, wetlands with toxic environments. In his article “Wetland Gloom and Wetland Glory,”

Stability in tapia woodlands amid non‐native expansion: Integrating traditional ecological knowledge and remote sensing to track 73 years of tree cover in Madagascar

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1403-1418, May 2026.
Abstract Afromontane ecosystems, characterised by mosaics of fire‐adapted grassy ecosystems and fire‐sensitive forests, are biodiversity hotspots facing escalating pressures from non‐native species, climate and land‐use change. Madagascar's Central Highlands is one such hotspot, hosting woodlands dominated by endemic Uapaca bojeri (tapia) which are ...

Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 697-711, April 2026.
This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.

Comment choisir les espèces pour identifier des réseaux écologiques cohérents entre les niveaux administratifs et les niveaux biologiques ?

open access: yesSciences, Eaux & Territoires, 2018
Les réseaux écologiques sont identifiés comme un outil clé pour allier préservation de la biodiversité et aménagement du territoire. Or ces réseaux sont propres à chacune des nombreuses espèces présentes et se déplaçant sur un territoire.

Does nocturnal light pollution impair immune function in a wild‐living amphibian?

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 311-322, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Light pollution is among the most rapidly growing anthropogenic stressors on Earth. As it spreads far beyond its original source, it affects natural protected areas playing a key role in protecting biodiversity.

Ecological factors shaping post‐fire resilience in mature black spruce forests of eastern North America

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Our study provides an assessment of the fire resilience of mature black spruce (BS) forests. A third of pre‐fire mature closed‐canopy stands are expected to transition into open woodlands. While mature BS‐dominated forests are considered more fire‐resilient than younger stands, our study raises concerns about their capacity to persist under the ...

Plant conservation in a changing Mediterranean world

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 49-72, January 2026.
The Mediterranean is one of five climatic regions on the planet characterised by a prolonged summer drought, exceptional plant diversity and high rates of endemism. We provide a framework to link the ecology of plant species conservation in the context of rapid and extreme climate deregulation to a philosophical typology of temporal attitudes (i.e ...

La gestion paradoxale des ripisylves des cours d’eau de piedmont alpin endigués

open access: yesRevue de Géographie Alpine, 2014
Les rivières de piedmont alpin ont fait l’objet de nombreux travaux d’endiguement et de chenalisation au cours des siècles qui nous précèdent. La gestion actuelle de ces digues conduit souvent à en exclure les ligneux pour des raisons de sécurité ...

A pan‐European citizen science study shows population size, climate and land use are related to biased morph ratios in the heterostylous plant Primula veris

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
A large‐scale citizen science study involving thousands of cowslip (Primula veris) observations from all over Europe revealed an unexpected prevalence of S‐morphs over L‐morphs, which was influenced by climatic as well as land use factors. Furthermore, general morph ratios were often unbalanced with the strongest shifts occurring in smaller populations.
