Habitat Modification by Grazing Lawns Reduces Soil Mite Diversity in a South African National Park

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil mesofauna are an integral part of the functioning of an ecosystem. They are relatively small in body size, occur in varying habitats and operate in a range of ecological niches. Soil mites are quite sensitive to changes in their environment and contribute to several important ecosystem services in their environments.

Diversity and Distribution of Soil Fungi in Neotropical Mexican Forests

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Soil fungal diversity across the Mexican Neotropics remains poorly characterized despite its ecological importance. Using the Global Soil Mycobiome dataset from 55 sites, we identified eight distinct fungal community groups structured primarily by vegetation type and climatic gradients.

The Leading Edge Matters Too: Fitness and the Expression of Adaptive Differentiation Are Greatest at the High‐Elevation Edge of a Species' Range

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.
We tested hypotheses about adaptation across elevational range limits in Erythranthe laciniata, a montane plant endemic to the Sierra Nevada. Using common garden experiments, we found highest fitness and strongest climate adaptation at high elevations, suggesting potential for range expansion and challenging assumptions of limited adaptive potential at

Associations of Commercial Fisheries and Cold‐Water Corals and Sponges

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 116-129, March 2026.
Three metrics for determining whether the marine life that are landed by commercial fisheries are associated with cold‐water corals and sponges: (a) Adjacent; (b) General Proximity; and (c) Habitat. The relationship between these structure forming invertebrates (SFI) and fisheries is robust across analytical approaches.

Apparent Flexibility of Fatty Acid Metabolism in Shredders Depends on Terrigenous Organic Matter Type

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Headwater streams receive large amounts of terrestrial organic matter (tOM) such as leaves from a dense riparian matrix, forming a critical link between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Terrestrial OM rarely provides essential macronutrients such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and microbial colonisation of tOM is an important ...
