California's vernal‐pool mousetails (Myosurus, Ranunculaceae): Phylogenetic analysis of ddRADseq data, hybridization tests, and species delimitation

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We present the first phylogenetic analysis of the Californian species of Myosurus. Our ddRADseq analysis reveals considerably more diversity than what was recognized in recent floristic treatments. Myosurus minimus subsp. apus was found to be a rare species restricted to Southern California and northwestern Baja California.

If Not Now, When? Thinking about Childbearing in Ukrainian Cities during Russia's Full‐Scale Invasion

Population and Development Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Prior literature on fertility during war examines high‐fertility settings using quantitative data on births collected mainly after fighting ends. In contrast, we analyze cognitive processes related to childbearing during wartime in Ukraine, where a full‐scale war erupted in the context of long‐standing low fertility.

The power of choice: how early performance of tree species may shape direct seeding for tropical forest restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The success of direct seeding depends on appropriate species selection. Understanding the geographic and taxonomic distribution of species used, along with their performance profiles, can inform more effective restoration outcomes.

Long‐term effects of annual mowing on plant diversity, community composition, and temporal stability in wet grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Wet grasslands and fens are biodiversity‐rich ecosystems whose structure and functioning are shaped by disturbance, productivity, and hydrological conditions. Their persistence depends on management. Although mowing is widely used to maintain these habitats, its long‐term effects on species diversity and community composition ...

Ground mammal colonization of restored wildlife corridors in the tropical uplands of north‐eastern Australia

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Since European settlement, Australia's Wet Tropics bioregion has been extensively cleared, leaving a mosaic of rainforest fragments, crops, pastures, orchards, and human settlement. Fragment isolation leads to declines in faunal diversity and genetic variability, effects potentially exacerbated by climate change. Restoring habitat

Bumble bee abundance and diversity increase with the intensity of tallgrass prairie restoration intervention

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Human land use intensification and the resulting habitat loss are primary drivers of insect pollinator declines. Habitat restoration offers a promising approach to counteract these declines, yet landscape‐level evaluations of bee responses to restoration and management remain limited.

A Critique of the Taxonomy of Subtribe Celmisiinae (Asteraceae: Tribe Astereae) With New Combinations in Pleurophyllum Hook.f. sens. lat. and Shawia hesperia (Heenan & Molloy) Heenan comb. nov.

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 4, December 2026.
This review is of the recently revised circumscriptions of the Pleurophyllum Hook.f. group and Shawia J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. of subtribe Celmisiinae, both centred in New Zealand. Recognition of Shawia is supported, and phylogenetic data recover seven well‐supported subclades treated as infrageneric sections.

Forest Fragment Proximity as an Important Predictor of Restoration Success in Mining‐Degraded Areas

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 6, November 2026.
Forest regeneration in mining‐degraded areas was strongly influenced by landscape connectivity and local environmental filters. Proximity to forest fragments, canopy cover, and grass biomass shaped the density, diversity, and composition of natural regeneration. Passive restoration showed regeneration patterns closer to reference ecosystems than active

Arboreal and Terrestrial Frugivore Vertebrate Assemblage Diversity and Composition Vary With Disturbance Histories in Guianan Forests

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study examined the impact of human disturbances on arboreal and terrestrial fruit‐consuming vertebrate assemblages across three tropical forest sites in French Guiana. While species richness remained consistent across sites, results revealed significant variations in visitation rates and a shift in dominant species.

Impact of Anthropogenic Activities and Climate Change on the Wetlands in the North‐West of Madagascar

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Macrophytes are vulnerable to various factors in their natural ecosystems, including climatic, ecological, and anthropogenic changes. This study aims to document how these factors influence floristic composition. Four sites were investigated in the Boeny Region of northwest Madagascar: Ambatoboeny, Marovoay, Ankarafantsika National Park, and ...
