Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1851-1862, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 2053-2076, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Pangenome and Pan‐Transcriptome Analysis of the WOX Gene Family Reveals Evolutionary Conservation and Diversification in Alfalfa

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
In this study, we conducted the first integrated pangenome and pan‐transcriptome analysis of the WOX gene family in alfalfa using 24 high‐quality accessions and 43 transcriptome datasets. Our results reveal strong evolutionary conservation dominated by core and soft‐core members, clade‐specific diversification driven mainly by dispersed duplication ...

Drivers of Stopover Distribution Across Two Autumn Migration Routes of a Long‐Distance Afro‐Palearctic Migrant, the Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We model autumn stopover distribution of UK common cuckoos across two migration routes, revealing distinct environmental drivers and key geographic hotspots. Iberian mountain systems and the Po watershed emerge as critical stopover regions, with climate, elevation, habitat heterogeneity, and hunting risk shaping route‐specific patterns.

What do We Mean by Environmental Heterogeneity? Toward A Mechanistically Explicit and Scale‐Dependent Framework

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We synthesized 360 studies on environmental heterogeneity (EH) across taxa, regions, and disciplines. Only 10% of studies explicitly defined EH, and definitions were predominantly descriptive. We identify four operational interpretations of EH and propose a Research Roadmap linking EH metrics to five mechanistic hypotheses with testable predictions ...
