Habitat Utilization Preference by Small Mammals Is Associated With Geomorphic and Soil Properties: A Case Study of the Plateau Pika From the Eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study, through a large‐scale survey, reveals a close relationship between plateau pika habitat use preferences and geomorphic and soil characteristics. The findings indicate that pikas prefer flat, sun‐facing terrain near water sources, as well as specific ranges of soil depth, organic matter, and moisture.

Invasion Patterns and Niche Dynamics of the Pollinivorous Florida Calligrapher, Toxomerus floralis (Diptera: Syrphidae) in the Afrotropical Region

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The rapid spread of Toxomerus floralis (Fabricius, 1798) (Diptera: Syrphidae) within the Afrotropical region is analysed using occurrence data from field sampling, museum collections and citizen science sources, combined with single and ensemble species distribution models.

Efficient Automatic Pollen Recognition From Fossil Pollen Samples: A High‐Resolution Example Record From Palaeolake Kieshofer Moor, Northeastern Germany

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We applied the two‐stage, AI‐based TOFSI approach to test automatic pollen recognition with fossil pollen samples. The algorithm performs very well for all major pollen types and other non‐pollen object classes, suggesting that such tools have the potential to substantially increase the efficiency of pollen analysis.

The seed bank created by the dung of large herbivores drives seed circulation in an alpine meadow

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Seed circulation (i.e., sexual reproduction) is vital for the regeneration of aboveground grassland vegetation (AGV). It occurs in several steps: seed production (seed rain, SR), dispersal (endozoochory, i.e., dung seed bank, DSB), formation of the soil seed bank (SSB), germination, seedling growth, and establishment of adult plants.

The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1572-1587, June 2026.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Understanding Root Exudate Strategies for Plant Phosphorus Acquisition

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for plant growth and reproduction and may constrain primary production when its availability in soils is low. In natural systems, P exists in multiple forms, depending on soil properties and environmental conditions.

Pilliga Ghosts: The Novel Fungi of the Rivers, Creeks, Lakes, and Dams of the Narrabri Region, Australia

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Freshwater systems of the semi‐arid Narrabri region, Australia, are hotspots of novel fungal and eukaryote diversity, dominated by zoosporic fungi and unclassified lineages. ITS‑based DNA and water chemistry analyses across various water bodies revealed strong seasonal patterns, a scarcity of aquatic hyphomycetes that may reflect environmental ...

Fluctuating asymmetry in spider‐hunting wasps as a possible indicator of stress in Brazilian Atlantic Forest landscapes Assimetria flutuante em vespas caçadoras de aranhas como possível indicador de estresse em paisagens da Mata Atlântica brasileira

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 558-569, June 2026.
Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...

Unravelling a Rapid Radiation: Biogeography and Niche Evolution of Carex sect. Echinochlaenae Kük. (Cyperaceae)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Carex section Echinochlaenae has a disjunct distribution across the Southern Hemisphere. It displays a clear center of diversity in New Zealand coupled with extreme morphological and ecological diversification, suggesting a potential evolutionary radiation.
