Patterns and Drivers of Spontaneous Plant Diversity in Urban Wastelands Across 17 Cities on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The first regional survey of spontaneous plant communities across 17 cities on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau shows that natural climatic conditions, especially precipitation and wind speed, are the primary drivers of variation in community diversity, while urbanization and habitat quality jointly structure plant community composition.

Telomere Length Is Determined by Intrinsic Factors and Is Shortened During Drought Years in Gallotia galloti

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Telomere dynamics in ectotherms remain poorly understood relative to endotherms, yet are increasingly relevant in the context of climate change. Here, we used model‐averaged GLMMs and hierarchical partitioning to disentangle intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of relative telomere length in the Western‐Canaries Lizard (Gallotia galloti) across a 10‐year ...

How Large, Decayed, and Moist Must Rotting Logs Be to Act as Thermally Buffered Microhabitats in Temperate Eastern United States Forests?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study addresses the ecological role of coarse woody debris (CWD) as a thermally buffered microhabitat for saproxylic organisms in temperate eastern US forests. We measured internal and external log temperatures across four seasons in Southern Appalachian forests to test how log diameter, decay stage, and moisture influence thermal buffering.

Soil Property Responses to Push‐Pull Cropping in East Africa

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Push‐pull technology is increasingly promoted in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly for pest management and enhancing crop productivity. However, its influence on soil properties remains understudied, despite its potential implications for soil health and sustainable soil fertility management. This study examines soil properties in push‐pull and

Scale of herpetofauna mitigation translocation in British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Mitigation translocation is widely used across British Columbia to move amphibians and reptiles away from development. Reviewing permits from 2019–2022, we found that more than 5 million individuals, mostly larval western toads, were relocated. Yet almost no monitoring occurs, leaving outcomes unknown.
