New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3060-3071, March 2026.Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

Ungulate prey availability to inform Mexican wolf recovery within its historical range
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.We estimated the potential ecological carrying capacity for the Mexican wolf based exclusively on ungulate prey biomass estimated from camera trap surveys. In the United States, the potential density estimate is high (21.4–52.7 wolves/1,000 km2) owing to the presence and relatively high densities of elk, mule deer, and white‐tailed deer.

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Mapping the density of giant trees in the Amazon
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 152-168, January 2026.Summary Tall trees (height ≥ 60 m) are keystone elements of tropical forests, strongly influencing biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecosystem resilience. Yet, their density and spatial distribution remain poorly quantified, especially in remote Amazonian regions, limiting our understanding of their ecological roles and contribution to forest–climate ...

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.Citizen scientists and an expert jointly monitor Biomphalaria snails (the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni) in rural areas of southwest Uganda, generating over 4500 georeferenced records. By comparing expert‐ and citizen‐based distribution models under perfect and imperfect detection, we demonstrate that site type and NDVI consistently ...

Distribución altitudinal de las aves en una zona prioritaria en Sinaloa y Durango, México
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2010 En este estudio se documentan los patrones de riqueza de especies y endemismo con respecto a un gradiente altitudinal (300-2 800 m snm) en la región del Espinazo del Diablo (estados de Durango y Sinaloa). Se registró un total de 209 especies de aves, que

It is cool to be clear: Transparency induces a thermal cost in clearwing butterflies
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2452-2464, September 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In butterflies, wing transparency raises the question of potential costs for vital functions, such as thermoregulation. The thermal melanism hypothesis posits that darker colorations enable higher absorption of solar radiation, leading to the prediction that such ...

High extinction risk of the endemic tree flora in a hyper‐diverse region of the Amazon
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 998-1010, July 2025.The rapid global loss of biodiversity, especially in the Neotropics, underscores the need to understand how deforestation impacts endemic plant species' extinction risk and conservation status. Due to limited ranges and habitat specialization, endemics are particularly Vulnerable.
