Red Algae From Insular Environments in the Mexican Atlantic: Taxonomic Diversity, Conservation, and Biogeographic Affinities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study, we present the first analysis of diversity and distribution of red algae from insular environments in the Mexican Atlantic, with the aim to identify and describe their patterns of taxonomic diversity, to propose priority areas for conservation, and show their biogeographical affinities.

Soil Microbial Functions Indicate Persistent Agricultural Legacies and Potential Alternative States Following Restoration Plantings

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Soil microbial functions are key indicators of ecosystem recovery but can be obscured by taxonomic redundancy. Using shotgun metagenomics, we show that while overall functional diversity remains stable across land conditions, functional composition shifts persist in restored soils, particularly in relation to phosphorus metabolism.

Adjacent Forests Enhance Spontaneous Revegetation and Phylogenetic Similarity on Mountainous Roadside Slopes: Implications for Ecological Restoration and Forest Edge Management

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The native‐dominated vegetation on roadside slopes primarily originates from adjacent forests, with long‐distance dispersal traits enhancing spontaneous colonization in these disturbed environments. The species composition and phylogenetic similarity between slope and forest communities are significantly influenced by the adjacent forests (species ...

A Plant‐Diversity Dark Spot at the Intersection of Three Biodiversity Hotspots: Environmental Drivers of Brassicaceae Richness in Türkiye

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Türkiye lies at the intersection of three global biodiversity hotspots yet is recognised as a global plant‐diversity "dark spot." Using > 15,000 georeferenced herbarium records and spatial regression models, we examined the environmental drivers of Brassicaceae species and endemic richness across the country. Species richness increased with topographic

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
