Mechanism of Dietary Variation of Grazing Yaks on Tibetan Plateau: The Role of Seasonal Heterogeneity of Resources

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding, we show that Tibetan yaks are highly selective foragers in the resource‐rich summer but switch to a diverse, generalist diet to survive the harsh winter. This flexible foraging strategy is driven by seasonal plant availability, providing strong support for optimal foraging theory and highlighting the critical need to protect ...

On the Limits of Alpine Plants: A Systematic Review of the Factors Behind Species' Elevational Range Limits

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This systematic review of 107 studies on the factors behind the elevational range limits of alpine vascular plants shows a persistent emphasis on upper limits and abiotic factors, especially temperature, while work at lower limits is more evenly distributed across water availability, plant–plant interactions, and selection/local adaptation.

Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This meta‐analysis integrated terminal velocity records for 1479 species from various sources and explored descriptive patterns by taxonomic group, seed dispersal vector, and seed appendage type. This study revealed that wing and pappus appendage decrease seed terminal velocity with a robust analysis using regression models to predict terminal velocity.

Leaf Economics and Local Adaptation: Genetic and Plastic Responses Within Mediterranean Annual Species to Macro‐ and Microclimatic Aridity Gradients

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study examined how Mediterranean annual plants adjust leaf traits (SLA and LDMC) across rainfall gradients and microclimates, considering both genetic differentiation and plasticity under drought and competition. Contrary to expectations from the Leaf Economics Spectrum, populations from drier macroclimates evolved more acquisitive leaves (higher ...
