Contrasting direct and indirect effects of roe deer on herb layer vegetation in gaps and closed canopies

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 6, June 2026.
Forest gaps primarily reshape herb layer composition by increasing light availability and shrub layer encroachment. Roe deer influence herb layer community assembly both directly and indirectly via modification of the shrub layer and light availability and thus shifting plant–plant competition.

Uncovering temporal patterns of wildlife activity, habitat use and habitat preference from camera‐trap data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1880-1895, June 2026.
Abstract An understanding of habitat use and levels of active behaviour is foundational to wildlife behaviour, ecology, conservation and management. These variables are commonly measured by tracking individuals in space and time using biologging. In principle, camera‐trap data also contain information about both activity level and habitat use; however,

Assessing the Role of Mixed Tree Species in Mitigating Ash Dieback: Insights From Greenhouse Experiments

open access: yesForest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Since its introduction, ash dieback has been a disease affecting ash (Fraxinus excelsior) stands across nearly their entire range. As the disease cannot be contained, various options for mitigating its severity have been explored in numerous studies.

Speciation History Shapes Patterns of Assemblage Species Richness in Birds

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
Speciation is the ultimate source of biodiversity. However, because most species arise in spatial isolation, how speciation shapes patterns of co‐occurring species richness remains unclear. Here we examine how the legacy of speciation affects contemporary biodiversity patterns via a phylogenetic model and show that this build‐up is remarkably slow and ...
