Use of Invasive Rugulopteryx okamurae Beach Wrack as Habitat and Food by Talitrus saltator

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The introduction of non‐native algae into coastal waters has increased worldwide, causing a range of ecological and socio‐economic impacts. However, when stranded on beaches as wrack, these invasive algae can provide refuge and food for supralittoral organisms, potentially benefiting local fauna communities and beach functioning. In this study,

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1735-1759, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 2053-2076, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Comparative Analysis of Correlative Modeling Methods in Predicting North American Bird Abundance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study compares nine ecological niche model (ENM) methods to predict North American bird abundance and finds positive correlations between environmental suitability and abundance. Results highlight the potential of ENMs for abundance inference, with newer methods showing good performance and demonstrating that simpler data inputs can be effective ...

Testing the Dry Refuge Model: Paleoecological Insights From Late Pleistocene Gomphotheres in Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We present paleontological evidence that may prove the Dry Refuge Model in Ecuador during the Late Pleistocene. ABSTRACT Paleoenvironmental records indicate that Neotropical regions near the Equator experienced reduced rainfall during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). However, some records show conflicting environmental signals.

Fire‐induced shifts in activity patterns of predators and prey in the Brazilian Pantanal

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
Using camera trap data, we observed that 5 of 6 prey species showed statistically significant changes in temporal activity patterns, while jaguars were the only predator species to adjust activity when comparing pre‐fire and post‐fire periods in an isolated rocky formation in the Pantanal region.
