Context‐Dependent Movement Responses of Large Carabids to Forest Gap Cuttings

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study investigates the effects of forest management on the movement of ground beetles within an oak‐hornbeam forest in northern Hungary. We compared a closed‐canopy control stand with various small‐scale canopy gaps. To track movement and habitat use within these treatments, two carabid species, Carabus ullrichii and C.

Thermal Stress and Habitat Loss: Assessing the Vulnerability of Potamon fluviatile (Decapoda: Potamidae) to Climate Change in Italy

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Ensemble species distribution models indicate that Potamon fluviatile may experience a substantial reduction in climatically suitable habitat in Italy under future climate scenarios, particularly under high‐emission pathways. Comparison with the current protected area network suggests that some existing reserves may lose suitability, while a limited ...

Spider (Araneae) Abundance and Diversity Across Land‐Use Gradients

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We sampled spider populations in economically important kiwifruit orchards that are adjacent to either low‐disturbance ecosystems (native forest) or high‐disturbance ecosystems (maize), using pitfall traps and active sampling. A total of 2710 spiders were collected from 27 families, representing 64 species and eight functional guilds.

First Taxonomically Curated DNA Barcode Reference Library for Polish Myriapods Fills an Important Knowledge Gap for Soil Invertebrates in Central Europe, Part I: Millipedes (Myriapoda: Diplopoda)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
DNA barcoding enabled the creation of the first large, taxonomically verified barcode library for Polish millipedes, covering 981 individuals and 58 species (62% of the national fauna), with 468 COI sequences. The study reveals potential cryptic diversity, shifts in the Polish diplopod fauna and documents Melogona broelemanni as a species newly ...

Cross‐Range Comparison of Supraglacial Microbial Communities Between Gongga and Gangrigabu Mountains, Southeast Tibetan Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We investigated bacterial and fungal community distribution on supraglacial debris from two monsoon‐influenced mountain ranges (Gongga and Gangrigabu) using high‐throughput sequencing. Despite harsh, nitrogen‐limited conditions, diverse microbial taxa were detected, with clear distance–decay patterns and strong glacier‐specificity; heterogeneous ...

Can Artificial Tree Cavities Provide Population Support to Cavity‐Dependent Non‐Flying Mammals?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Artificial tree cavities may be used to restore habitat quality that may otherwise take many decades to recover naturally. We provide compelling evidence for two species of Australian cavity‐dependent mammals showing high and sustained usage of artificial cavities over 6 years, high levels of breeding within the cavities and support for large segments ...

Soil Microbial Assembly Mirrors a Savanna Mosaic Amid Plant Invasion and Soil Disturbance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Grasslands and woody patches supported distinct soil and microbial assemblages, consistent with differences in vegetation inputs and nutrient regimes. Grasslands exhibited relatively simple assembly patterns, with plant diversity closely associated with soil nutrients and comparatively homogeneous microbial communities.

DNA Extraction Optimisation for Minute Land Snails of Vertigo Müller, 1773 (Gastropoda: Vertiginidae): A Comparative Evaluation of Six Methods, Including a Non‐Destructive Shell‐Preserving Protocol

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We compared six DNA extraction methods for minute Vertigo land snails, including a rapid non‐destructive HotSHOT protocol that preserves shells. The shell‐preserving protocol produced sequenceable DNA from very small and conservation‐relevant specimens while retaining voucher morphology.
