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.

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 ...

Developing Habitat Descriptors for a Threatened Cryptic Worm‐Lizard to Determine Potential Habitat Under the NSW Biodiversity Offset Scheme in Australia

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the habitat requirements and potential distribution of threatened species is fundamental to mitigating threats and protecting significant populations. In Australia, a range of studies have been undertaken into the ecology and habitat requirements for the nationally threatened pink‐tailed worm‐lizard (Aprasia parapulchella) in the

To Drone or Not to Drone in Search of Koalas

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective assessment of koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) populations remains essential for informing conservation management, particularly in complex landscapes. We used drone thermal‐imagery and spot assessment technique (SAT) surveys to assess koala occurrence, density, and site use across 37 sites (696.07 ha) within a broader 10,271 ha study ...

Climatic and Hydrological Changes Drive Contemporary Fire Regime Transitions in the World's Largest Wetland

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Long‐term fire data (1985–2024) and integrated modeling reveal a climate and hydrology‐driven transition toward larger fires, increased burned area, and a longer fire season, indicating the emergence of a new fire regime in the Pantanal. ABSTRACT Tropical wetlands have historically been resilient to fire, but ongoing climate and hydrological changes ...

Contemporary Environmental Drivers of European Plant Distributions

Global 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 ...

Global Bioregionalisation of Invasive Angiosperms

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding global patterns in plant invasions is critical for improving our understanding of plant biogeography and for informing conservation strategies. However, the bioregional structure of invasive angiosperms remains unresolved globally.
