Weaving for action: Transformative change in biodiversity monitoring

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1007-1020, May 2026.
Abstract The Post‐2020 Kunming‐Montreal Biodiversity Framework aims to drive transformative change to halt biodiversity loss. To track progress toward its goals and targets, a dedicated monitoring framework has been established. The current biodiversity monitoring framework relies on a set of indicators developed through a unidirectional process of ...

Internal physiological drivers of leaf development in trees: Understanding the relationship between non‐structural carbohydrates and leaf phenology

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1151-1164, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phenology is crucial for understanding plant growth and climate feedback. It affects canopy structure, surface albedo, and carbon and water fluxes. While the influence of environmental factors on phenology is well‐documented, the role of plant intrinsic factors ...

Global Analysis of Shallow Underwater Fish Observation Research: 70 Years of Progress, Persistent Geographic Biases and a Path Forward

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 607-626, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by overfishing, pollution, coastal development and climate change, underscoring the need for long‐term, representative information on key fish populations and habitats to inform management and policy.

Linking satellites to genes with machine learning to estimate phytoplankton community structure from space [PDF]

Ocean Science
Ocean color remote sensing has been used for more than 2 decades to estimate primary productivity. Approaches have also been developed to disentangle phytoplankton community structure based on spectral data from space, in particular when combined with in

Lag in Effective Population Size Decline Amid Demographic Collapse: A Case Study of the Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective population size (Ne), census size (Nc) and their ratio (Ne/Nc) are widely used indicators in conservation genetics, yet long‐term empirical data tracking of all three metrics over long time scales in wild populations remains rare. Using monitoring data from 1995 to 2020, we examined temporal dynamics of Ne, Nc and their relationship ...

Non‐Invasive eDNA Reveals the Ecological and Genetic Status of the Western Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus aquitanicus) in the Eastern Pyrenees

Environmental DNA
Environmental changes and human activities in the Anthropocene era are likely to alter population size, structure, and genetic diversity of many species. Long‐term monitoring is therefore essential to assess these impacts and enable informed conservation

A Network Approach to Support Sustainability Policy Coordination: Exploring Linkages Between Biodiversity Indicators and Essential Biodiversity Variables

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 303-317, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Global sustainability policy demands coordination among domain‐specific policies, yet a major challenge persists in policy monitoring and reporting, where various, often uncoordinated indicator initiatives exist. To address this challenge, we apply a network approach to investigate linkages between the indicators of the Sustainable Development

Achieving Harmonized and Integrated Long‐Term Environmental Observation of Essential Ecosystem Variables ‐ The eLTER Framework of Standard Observations

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The development of harmonized, standardized, and integrated environmental observation systems is a key challenge in Earth system science. Such capability is essential for advancing the interdisciplinary research needed to improve understanding of the Earth system and support global sustainability.

PEP725: 15 years of driving European and global phenology science

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 717-734, April 2026.
Summary Phenology – the timing of seasonal biological events – is a sensitive indicator of climate change and ecosystem dynamics. Long‐term, broad‐scale phenological data are crucial for understanding and predicting plant responses to environmental change.
