Effects of Temperature Peaks and Water Stress on Tropical Seed Germination: Experimental Trials With Species From Brazil's Northeastern Coastal Zone

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the effects of high temperatures and water deficit on germination provides valuable insights into seed stress tolerance, guiding the use of native seeds in ecological restoration. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of (1) temperature peaks and (2) water stress treatments and post‐stress recovery on the germination of some ...

Biogeographic Disconnect and Biotic Homogenization in the Heart of the Amazon: Dominance of Exotic Species in Urban Trees

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
Exotic taxa dominate the urban woody flora, with potentially invasive species posing a direct risk to adjacent primary forest remnants. Historical management has favored a simplified, cosmopolitan species pool over regional biodiversity. There is failure to implement local native‐priority mandates, offering concrete ecological targets for urban ...

Soundscapes of the Upper Amazon: Seasonal Activity Patterns of Insectivorous Bats in Cordillera Escalera, Peru

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Bats, the second most diverse group of mammals, play essential ecological roles in insect control, pollination, and seed dispersal. In Peru, insectivorous bats remain poorly studied, particularly in high‐elevation rainforest ecosystems of the upper Amazon region.

Human Disturbances and Woody Flora Diversity Along a Caatinga–Brejo de Altitude Gradient in Northeastern Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Tropical dry forests are among the ecosystems most threatened by human activities worldwide. The Caatinga, a seasonally dry tropical forest restricted to northeastern Brazil, exemplifies this scenario, as local human populations strongly depend on forest resources.

The Interplay of Fire and Vertical Strata Shaping Herbivorous Insect Communities in Altimontane Forest Islands

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how fire and vertical stratification interact to shape insect communities is essential in increasingly fire‐prone montane systems. We investigated how herbivorous insect communities vary across vertical strata (canopy and understory) and fire incidence in 14 altitudinal forest islands within the Espinhaço Range, Brazil.

Patch Test Results With Additions to the European Baseline Series, 2021/22—Joint European Results of the ESSCAA and the EBSB Working Groups of the ESCD, and the GEIDACC

Contact Dermatitis, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 276-285, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Allergens are periodically added to the European Baseline Series (EBS) to audit their value in consecutive patch testing. Objectives To present results of audit allergens tested in consecutive patients in 54 departments in 13 European countries during 2021 and 2022.

Small datasets support conservation: Improving detectability for the elusive rusty‐spotted cat

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
In western circles, the value of small, locally specific data is increasingly under‐appreciated and undervalued by research metrics indexing research impact. We report novel data for the elusive, threatened, rusty‐spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) whose fundamental ecology remains virtually unknown.

Native Community Resistance Mediates Plant Invasion Responses to Global Change Along Mediterranean Mountain Roads

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate warming, human modification and global connectivity are eroding the abiotic barriers (i.e., climatic filtering and low propagule pressure) that have traditionally limited the spread of non‐native species in mountain ecosystems. Meanwhile, these global changes are also reshaping native plant communities, potentially weakening their ...
