Reflections for Biodiversity Researchers Engaging With Policy‐Science Interfaces

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Researchers who wish to engage in policy processes to help address the biodiversity crisis are often hindered by fear of the potential drawbacks to doing so. The complexity of political systems, the necessity to interact with policymakers or politicians outside of the work environment, the potential professional risks that may arise from ...

Effects of Lateral Hydrological Connectivity on the Taxonomic and Functional Structure of Fish Communities in Saône River Floodplains (France): Implications for Non‐Native Species Distribution

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Large alluvial plain rivers provide a complex mosaic of freshwater habitats characterised by a lateral hydrological connectivity (LHC) gradient between the main channel and floodplains. This connectivity plays a key role in structuring aquatic communities, influencing species distribution, diversity, and ecosystem processes.

Contrasted effects of temperate forest closure on snake demography

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Habitat modification is the main threat to biodiversity, but other causes are involved, such as climate change or pollution. To optimize conservation efforts, it is crucial to determine their respective contributions. An effective approach to disentangle causalities is to set up comparative or experimental monitoring in the field.

Resilience of Indigenous healthcare systems: Ethnobotanical approaches among the Baka, southeastern Cameroon

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2879-2894, November 2025.
Abstract Indigenous Peoples rely on biodiversity and traditional knowledge for health and well‐being, yet biological and cultural systems are threatened by ecological and social changes. Limited understanding exists on the factors that support the resilience of Indigenous Peoples' healthcare systems—the capacity of a healthcare system to adapt to ...

Phylogenomics of Messor harvester ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Stenammini) unravels their biogeographical origin and diversification patterns La phylogénomique des fourmis moissonneuses Messor (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Stenammini) clarifie leur origine biogéographique et leurs patrons de diversification

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 1025-1040, October 2025.
Phylogenomic analysis of 2524 ultraconserved‐element loci from 58 Messor harvester ant species helps in redefining taxonomic groups of the genus. Messor ants emerged in the Irano‐Indian area around 20 million years ago, rapidly dispersing to the Western Palaearctic and Northeastern Africa during the early Miocene.

DNA Metabarcoding as a Tool to Study Plankton Responses to Warming and Salinity Change in Mesocosms

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
To assess the impact of future climate change on Baltic Sea plankton communities, we conducted a mesocosm experiment manipulating temperature and salinity, using both microscopy‐based and DNA metabarcoding for plankton identification. Our results show that warming primarily influenced lower trophic levels, increasing community evenness and favouring ...

Modelling connectivity at a regional scale during seasonal movements of the greater horseshoe bat

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2163-2176, September 2025.
Studying pathways during high mobility periods is one of the main missing elements for effective conservation, particularly for small species such as bats. An acoustic, stratified sampling at both local and large scale provided sufficient spatial and temporal accuracy to model connectivity throughout the life cycle of bats. This framework can easily be
