Spatio‐temporal patterns, associated factors and mitigation of tiger and leopard attacks on people in western Himalayas

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3516-3530, October 2026.
Abstract Coexistence with large carnivores becomes extremely difficult in areas where there are large number of attacks on humans. An understanding of the factors that explain the spatio‐temporal context of such attacks would guide policy and management to mitigate conflict, conserve carnivores and assist coexistence.

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 623-644, October/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Concerning the study of past periglacial processes, the Pannonian Basin is a key area as it contains the southernmost frost polygons found in Central Europe. The presence or absence of permafrost is still, however, a matter of debate, and data on the timing of frost action are also scarce.

Integrating SfM, LiDAR and TLS for High‐Resolution Monitoring of Palsa Surface Changes and Degradation Dynamics

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 778-803, October/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding fine‐scale surface changes is crucial for quantifying ecosystem dynamics and detecting landscape changes. Palsas, comparably small peatland elevations with an ice‐rich permafrost core, undergo natural cycles of growth and degradation. They can also serve as indicators of climate change in subarctic regions. Because they typically

Gonolobus in the spotlight: History, diversity, and citizen science

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Gonolobus (Apocynaceae) is a distinctive genus of climbing plants, distributed from the southern United States to Argentina. This study presents a comprehensive, integrative analysis of the genus, synthesizing its intricate taxonomic history, biogeographic patterns, and the contribution of citizen science to its modern systematics. We compiled

Mesoscale Modeling of Titan’s Shangri‐La Region: The Impact of Surface Properties on Winds

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The knowledge of Titan’s near‐surface atmosphere is sparse. The Huygens descent probe measured winds, and the multiple dune field observations and possible dust storms suggest active near‐surface dynamics. The Dragonfly rotorcraft lander will fly close to the surface in the Shangri‐La region, near the Huygens landing site, where complex dune ...

Policy‐Driven Evolution of Sediment in the Yellow River Basin over the Past 2000 Years

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract River sediment load serves as a typical indicator of the interaction between human activities and the natural environment, and historical policies have profoundly altered basin sediment transport processes. In this study, we constructed a quantitative analytical framework based on the policy index to systematically trace the evolutionary ...

Influence of Floodplain Subsurface Composition on Peatland Stream Channel Mobility

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Peatlands are important for the earth's carbon cycle, globally storing the equivalent of two‐thirds of the atmospheric carbon reservoir. The capacity of peatlands to preserve organic matter is influenced by stream‐channel mobility and sediment reworking; however, the nature of these processes is poorly constrained.

Functional trait modules link climatic niche geometry to projected range change in global butterflies

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3225-3242, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming is redistributing insects, but species‐level projections alone rarely show which functional strategies are most exposed or how traits are linked to climatic niche structure.

Rhododendron diversity patterns provide new insights for conserving China's montane flora

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 3727-3745, October 2026.
Integrating distribution, phylogenetic, and functional trait data for 603 Rhododendron species in China identified significant conservation hotspots of multidimensional diversity, particularly in the Hengduan Mountains. Climate seasonality and topographic heterogeneity jointly influenced these patterns; however, notable conservation gaps remained ...

Modeling of the geographical distribution of two forest‐forming fucoids in the Strait–Alboran demarcation (southern Iberian Peninsula): Implications for conservation and restoration

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 1606-1617, October 2026.
Abstract Marine forests formed by canopy‐forming brown algae of the former Cystoseira complex are key habitat‐forming components of Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, supporting biodiversity and multiple ecosystem functions. However, many populations have declined in recent decades due to increasing anthropogenic pressures and climate change, raising ...
