Changing Antecedent Land‐Surface Conditions Can Amplify Future Heat Extremes Across New Zealand

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Extreme heat in New Zealand is projected to intensify faster than mean warming, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Using dynamically downscaled CMIP6 projections, we investigate whether land–surface moisture constraints contributes to future heat‐extreme intensification in a maritime climate. Across six downscaled models, evaporative fraction (

Early Eocene Compressional Deformation in the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau Recorded by Magnetic Fabrics of the Longzhong Basin

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Intracontinental deformation records how early Eocene India–Asia collisional stress propagated into continental interiors. How rapidly compression reached the far field, and whether coeval Paleo‐Pacific slab dynamics contributed, remain debated. The Longzhong Basin, ∼1,900 km north of the collisional zone, provides a key test.

Incomplete climate‐driven peripatric speciation in Moehringia sect. Moehringia (Caryophyllaceae) in the European Alps

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Premise The origin of endemic species in the European Alps is commonly attributed to the climatic oscillations of the Quaternary. Moehringia sect. Moehringia, with 12 of 15 species endemic to the Alps and mostly restricted to well‐known glacial refugia, is a prime system for investigating the diversification of a lineage originating in the ...

First Taxonomically Curated DNA Barcode Reference Library for Polish Myriapods Fills an Important Knowledge Gap for Soil Invertebrates in Central Europe, Part I: Millipedes (Myriapoda: Diplopoda)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
DNA barcoding enabled the creation of the first large, taxonomically verified barcode library for Polish millipedes, covering 981 individuals and 58 species (62% of the national fauna), with 468 COI sequences. The study reveals potential cryptic diversity, shifts in the Polish diplopod fauna and documents Melogona broelemanni as a species newly ...

Climatic niche divergence and high‐elevation adaptation promoted rapid diversification of Pimoa spiders in Pan‐Himalaya

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
The Pan‐Himalayan region harbors exceptional biodiversity, yet the origins and underlying mechanisms driving this remarkable diversity remain poorly understood, especially among species‐rich invertebrates. Pimoa spiders exhibit an intercontinental disjunct distribution across three major mountain regions: the Rockies, the Alps, and the Pan‐Himalaya ...

Global threats, local opportunities: ice‐related landforms provide refugia for high‐elevation plants and arthropods

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Ice‐related landforms in mountain areas have been hypothesized to play a key role in the survival of cold‐adapted species threatened by climate change. However, our understanding of such landforms acting as refugia remains speculative. Here we analyse occurrence data, collected through a standardized sampling at 471 sampling points across the European ...

Cross-ploidy hybridisation in Alpine woodrushes is associated with ecological additivity and scale-dependent niche divergence. [PDF]

New Phytol
Genetic differentiation among the study species. Summary Hybridisation and whole‐genome duplication (WGD) are widespread in plants, yet their ecological consequences remain challenging to predict. In allopolyploids, where both processes coincide, ecological divergence is typically evaluated against a null hypothesis of ecological additivity.
