Landscape heterogeneity affects developmental and dispersal‐related traits of a butterfly in agricultural landscapes

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats due to the intensification of agricultural land use have detrimental impacts on the biodiversity of arthropods. The reduction of natural habitats results in a decreased availability of essential resources, which may select for rapid development and phenotypes enhancing dispersal ability.

On the Limits of Alpine Plants: A Systematic Review of the Factors Behind Species' Elevational Range Limits

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This systematic review of 107 studies on the factors behind the elevational range limits of alpine vascular plants shows a persistent emphasis on upper limits and abiotic factors, especially temperature, while work at lower limits is more evenly distributed across water availability, plant–plant interactions, and selection/local adaptation.

Leaf Fungal Endophyte Differs Among Plant Functional Groups in an Alpine Meadow

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The communities of leaf fungal endophyte had significant differences among plant functional groups and were affected by plant abundance and leaf functional traits among them in an alpine meadow. ABSTRACT Although numerous studies have documented the differences in leaf fungal endophyte (LFE) communities among various plant species inhabiting the same ...

Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This meta‐analysis integrated terminal velocity records for 1479 species from various sources and explored descriptive patterns by taxonomic group, seed dispersal vector, and seed appendage type. This study revealed that wing and pappus appendage decrease seed terminal velocity with a robust analysis using regression models to predict terminal velocity.

Unveiling Diet Preferences and Their Nutritional Drivers Through Metabarcoding: The Case of Alpine Marmot (Marmota marmota L.) in High Altitude Grazed Pastures

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The alpine marmot (Marmota marmota), a crucial component of alpine ecosystems, serves both as a key player in the food chain and as an ‘ecosystem engineer.’ Employing DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, this study investigated the diet composition and foraging strategies of four alpine marmot colonies across diverse alpine pasture ecosystems throughout

Social and structural traits influence species gains while resources influence species losses in a native grassland

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Multiple factors influence temporal species turnover, including resource requirements and species traits. The standard model in plant ecology is that adding soil nutrients will result in taller communities, reducing understory light levels and leading to species loss via size‐asymmetric competition. However, underlying this model is the notion
