The spread of non‐native species
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1197-1234, June 2026.ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Evolution and Systematics of the African achyranthoid clade of the Amaranthaceae [PDF]
, 2022 The Amaranthaceae are a nearly cosmopolitan flowering plant family that encompasses species of high economic value as food, forage, and ornamentals. Other species are of cultural value for traditional medicine or in traditional rituals of African tribes.

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 ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 It is well-known that some members of the crow family (Corvidae) are important for seed dispersal either via frugivory (e.g., when feeding on berries) or by scatter hoarding (e.g., of nuts). Dispersal via gut passage of seeds within a fleshy fruit can be

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

Comparison of soil seed banks of habitats distributed along an altitudinal gradient in northern Iran
, 2013 International audienceIn this study we investigated the variations in soil seed banks along an altitudinal gradient in the Alborz mountains, Iran, covering three habitats from lower to upper altitudes: forest, forest-subalpine grassland ecotone and ...

Ungulate impacts on herbaceous‐layer plant communities in even‐aged and uneven‐aged managed forests
Ecosphere, 2016 Forest management and ungulate herbivory are extant drivers of herbaceous‐layer community composition and diversity. We conducted a white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) exclosure experiment across a managed landscape to determine how deer impacts ...

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.
