Heightened threats to small woodland caribou populations in Canada and key considerations for their persistence Menaces pesant sur les petites populations de caribou des bois au Canada et considérations essentielles à leur rétablissement

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 227, Issue 1, November 2026.
Abstract Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are one of the most iconic wildlife species in Canada. These large ungulates depend on undisturbed, interconnected assemblages of mature and old‐growth conifer forests for survival, and exhibit life‐history traits typical of K‐selected species (i.e., low reproductive rates, long generation times, and slow ...

Morphological Characteristics of Radical Leaves in the Serpentine Ecotype of Adenophora triphylla var. japonica (Campanulaceae) Revealed by Cultivation Experiments

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 6, November 2026.
We tested whether the distinctive radical‐leaf morphology of the serpentine ecotype of Adenophora triphylla var. japonica is due to phenotypic plasticity or genetic differentiation. The results suggest that lamina thickening is plastic for water storage, while reduced lamina size and modified petiole traits are genetically fixed adaptations to reduce ...

Leaf Morphological Responses to Serpentine Soils in Shikoku, Japan: A Review of Common Patterns and Developmental Diversity

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 6, November 2026.
We compared multiple woody and herbaceous plants growing on Japanese serpentine soils to identify common morphological responses. Leaves were generally smaller or thinner, and stomatal traits changed differently between woody and herbaceous species, reflecting low water retention.
