Koenigia bingchachaensis (Polygonaceae), a Remarkable New Species from the Alpine Subnival of Bingchacha, Zayü, Xizang, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Koenigia bingchachaensis Bo Xu & H. Sun (Polygonaceae), a remarkable new species from the alpine subnival of Zayü County, Xizang, China, is described and illustrated. The integrative evidence from morphology and phylogenetics confirms the status of K. bingchachaensis as a new species, which also highlights the ongoing discovery of unique biodiversity ...

Vegetational Characteristics in Natural Habitat and Population Structure of the Endangered Plant Tigridiopalma Genus

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
First comprehensive ecological assessment of the endangered genus Tigridiopalma, covering two China endemic Plant Species with Extremely Small Populations (PSESP), T. magnifica and the newly described T. exalata. T. magnifica exhibits broader habitat diversity and understory resilience, while T.

Moth Communities Are More Diverse in the Understory Than in the Canopy of a Tropical Lowland Rainforest in NW Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We investigate the stratification of five clades of Lepidoptera: Erebidae‐Arctiinae, Geometridae, Hedylidae, Saturniidae, and Sphingidae in a tropical rain forest of the Chocó region in NW Ecuador. Average species richness was higher in the understory, median sample sizes were similar between strata and we found more species in regenerating forests ...

European Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) as a Functional Keystone Species Shaping Woodland Flora in the UK

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Ash trees have distinct ecological attributes—their canopy allows a high level of light to penetrate and their foliage decomposes rapidly. Here we used woodland survey data to explore if the prevalence of ash trees has an impact on associated plant communities at a fine spatial scale.

Environmental heterogeneity and spatial variation mediates plant diversity and ecosystem stability in mountain ecosystems of the Mediterranean Andes

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Globally, mountains are highly diverse ecosystems that serve as natural laboratories for testing ecological theories, while providing vital ecosystem services. Their biodiversity arises from the interaction between elevational gradients and topographic complexity, which generate strong variation in environmental conditions across short spatial scales ...
