Extensive Pollen Flow and Historical Population Expansions Shaped the Phylogeographic Pattern of Choerospondias axillaris: Evidence From Chloroplast DNA and ITS Sequences

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
MaxEnt‐based predictions reveal dramatic range dynamics of Choerospondias axillaris during Quaternary climate cycles, including northward expansion during the last interglacial, southward contraction into fragmented refugia during the last glacial maximum, and subsequent northward recolonization since the post‐glacial period.

Comparative Chloroplast Genomics of Cousinia (Asteraceae) With Nine Newly Sequenced Endemic Species From Central Asia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
In this study, nine complete chloroplast genomes of Cousinia species endemic to the Pamir–Alay mountain system were sequenced and analyzed together with previously published plastomes and nuclear ribosomal ITS data. ABSTRACT Cousinia (Asteraceae: Cardueae) represents one of the most species‐rich genera within the Irano–Turanian floristic region, yet ...

Spatial Distribution and Conservation Prioritization of Medicinal Gymnosperms in China Using an Optimal Set‐Cover Approach

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The study identified 41 priority conservation grids and 8 critical conservation gaps not covered by national reserves for medicinal gymnosperms. We proposed a practical, multi‐dimensional framework for their conservation. ABSTRACT To elucidate the geographical distribution patterns and hotspots of medicinal gymnosperms in China, providing a scientific ...

Conservation Return on Investment Analysis: A Review of Results, Methods, and New Directions [PDF]

Conservation investments are increasingly evaluated on the basis of their return on investment (ROI). Conservation ROI analysis quantitatively measures the costs, benefits, and risks of investments so conservancies can rank or prioritize them. This paper

Geodiversity is an inseparable but underutilized aspect of ecological connectivity assessments under climate change

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Conservation has shifted towards a climate change adaptation approach in which expected species range shifts are increasingly considered to mitigate effects of climate change and habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. As part of this, ecological connectivity needs to be ensured to support gene flow and viable populations in the face of changing ...

Ancient people and living nature: A global perspective on archaeological areas and biodiversity

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1085-1099, May 2026.
Abstract Archaeological sites are not only of cultural and historical significance but also contribute to biodiversity conservation. Often marked by limited human disturbance and distinct ecological conditions, these areas serve as important refuges for various plant and animal species, playing a vital role in global conservation efforts.

Landscape features predict broad‐scale seed rain patterns across fragments of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Along with precipitation, forest cover emerges as a fundamental driver of alpha and beta diversity in the seed rain. This highlights the role of habitat amount at the landscape level over patch‐level features, like patch size, for seed dispersal. However, increased seed density can be related to higher dispersal rates in forest borders.

Assessing multifunctional mountain landscape in an Eastern European framework

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
The research introduces the Biocultural Resilience Index (BRI), a novel tool for assessing multifunctional landscape sustainability. By integrating biological, cultural, and socio‐economic indicators, the BRI identifies vulnerable areas and informs strategies for sustainable management.
