Trait responses to competition are mostly parallel among competitor plants but can cause convergence or divergence in key traits

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2830-2842, September 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants competing for resources exhibit different traits than plants which are not. Phenotypic plasticity can shape competition by altering trait differences between competitors.

Shifting mechanisms of biotic resistance following invasion control: Consumers, competition and legacy effects

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
Post‐control areas are less vulnerable to reinvasion when vegetation structure and consumer communities are maintained. Managers should prioritise preventing establishment in uninvaded grasslands, while using grazing and retaining woody debris to strengthen natural biotic resistance and improve long‐term, cost‐effective invasive conifer control ...

Managing perennial biomass crop margins for biodiversity: Insights from fine‐resolution soil and plant niche models

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
Together, these results highlight the need for margin‐specific management guidance for perennial biomass crops and demonstrate how niche‐based modelling can inform the design of effective agri‐environment options. Abstract The challenge of energy production against a target of net‐zero emissions has led to the growth of policies promoting the ...

An Economic and Environmental Analysis of Virtual Fencing for Precision Grazing

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 3, Page 1018-1033, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The UK grazing livestock sector is challenged by declining farm profitability and stringent environmental policy. Innovative technologies such as virtual fencing could enable a balanced economic and environmental performance of beef production. Virtual fencing is a livestock management tool relying on invisible boundaries perceived as auditory,

Contemporary Environmental Drivers of European Plant Distributions

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the contemporary environmental conditions determining plant species distributions is crucial. Here, we quantified the relative importance of climatic, edaphic, hydrological, topographic, and land use drivers of the European vascular flora and tested whether driver hierarchies vary across species groups and ecological ...

Pixels and Patterns in the Sand: Decoding Coastal Dune Habitats With Multi‐Resolution CNNs

open access: yesJournal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Coastal dune habitats are small, fragmented, and challenging to map. We tested convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on an Italian coastal dune system, comparing four remote sensing datasets: UAV, airborne, Google Earth, and WorldView‐3 satellite. Mapping accuracy dropped sharply with coarser spatial resolution, while adding spectral bands mostly ...

Which, when, and where traits matter: functional trait‐mediated species associations shift with microenvironmental and climatic variation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2468-2481, September 2026.
Community‐level fitted relationship between spatial association Lij and trait dissimilarity (tDij) at the fine spatial scale (r = 40 mm; where r represents the radius around individuals of the focal species). Summary Predicting coexistence in species‐rich plant communities requires understanding the role of functional traits in species interactions and

Exposome‐driven molecular sensitization signatures in pediatric rhinitis and asthma across Spanish regions

open access: yesPediatric Allergy and Immunology, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Background Allergic rhinitis and asthma in childhood arise from dynamic interactions between genetic predisposition and the exposome. However, how environmental heterogeneity shapes molecular IgE sensitization profiles during early life remains insufficiently characterized.
