Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1270-1285, May 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants are shifting their flowering phenology in response to climate change, but trends differ between species and communities. Functional traits can largely explain how different species respond to climate change by shifting their phenology, and can therefore help ...

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.Wildfire and invasive species interact in a south‐eastern Australian grassy woodland, with the soil seedbank introducing predominantly non‐native species into the extant vegetation after fire. This influx can temporarily increase ecosystem flammability and promote a grass–fire cycle.

Biological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 14-32, March 2026.Integrating data from plastid genomes, nrDNA, and 353 low‐copy nuclear genes, this study establishes a robust phylogenetic framework for Hylodesmum. This framework supports a taxonomic revision recognizing 18 species and reveals a complex pattern of bidirectional EA–ENA dispersal, with mammals as a plausible dispersal agent. ABSTRACT Phylogenomics with

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.Changing management from light sheep grazing to light cattle grazing restored vegetation at a calcareous upland site. There was an increase in species richness, calcareous grassland indicators and bryophyte cover and a decrease in grass cover. There was, however, also a decrease in vegetation height.

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.Abstract Premise The censer seed dispersal mechanism, whereby mature fruits are retained on plants and seeds dispersed by mechanical shaking, is among the most specialized wind‐aided seed dispersal strategies employed by the flowering plants. An efficient, affordable, and easily repeatable protocol for determining whether a species uses this unusual ...

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.
