Dynamics of fish populations and communities within the Tonle Sap flood pulse system

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Tonle Sap Lake (TSL) is the most fish‐diverse lake in Southeast Asia and ranks among the world's richest inland fisheries. Although previous studies have described broad changes in fish abundance and community composition across the lake's annual flood pulse, the spatiotemporal dynamics of individual species and their co‐occurrence ...

Maximizing Nature‐Based Solutions Using Artificial Intelligence to Align Global Biodiversity, Climate, and Water Targets

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Nature‐based Solutions (NbS) encompass a spectrum of conservation and restoration actions aimed at improving biodiversity, climate, and water outcomes. Considerable research exists that focuses on prioritizing either conservation or restoration, or specific environmental outcomes.

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.

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 ...

Reviewing seas of data: Integrating image‐based bio‐logging and artificial intelligence to enhance marine conservation

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 272-290, February 2026.
Abstract Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including images, videos and active acoustic) are increasingly used to monitor wildlife movements, foraging behaviours ...

Reflections for Biodiversity Researchers Engaging With Policy‐Science Interfaces

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesFreshwater 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

open access: yesEcosphere, 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.
