Top‐Down and Bottom‐Up Drivers of Soil δ15N Spatial Patterns in a Tropical Savanna
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Although stable nitrogen isotopes (δ15N) can provide a powerful integrative tracer of localized nutrient cycling across heterogeneous savannas, the relative influence of top‐down versus bottom‐up drivers in shaping these spatial patterns remains largely unresolved.

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.ABSTRACT Climate modelling has projected increasing temperatures and a shift in rainfall systems in southern Australia, suggesting an increase in the summer–autumn feed gap of pasture systems based on temperate species. Tropical (C4) pasture species may diversify the feed base and help mitigate climate variability in these areas.

Burrow Selection by Temminck's Ground Pangolins (Smutsia temminckii) in Northern Botswana
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT In arid and semi‐arid environments, many species use underground burrows for thermoregulation, reproduction, and to reduce predation risk. In Botswana, Temminck's ground pangolins (Smutsia temminckii) shelter in burrows during the day, and burrow density is thought to be a key indicator of habitat suitability for these animals.

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.In South Brazilian grasslands, invasion by African C4 grasses, such as Urochloa eminii (Mez) Davidse (formerly U. decumbens), poses a significant threat to biodiversity. We conducted an experiment to evaluate the effects of plastic tarps and herbicide application on U. eminii cover in a heavily invaded protected area.
