Molecular Genetic Characterization of the Diet of Limestone and Rainforest Langurs

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding of 419 fecal samples collected over 1 year, we characterized and compared the diets of four Trachypithecus species from rainforest and limestone habitats in Vietnam. Langurs consumed a remarkably high diversity of plants (122–129 genera across 59–73 families), with clear interspecific differences in dietary composition and ...

Elevation‐Driven Morphological Variation in Dianthus virgineus L. s.l. in the Southern Apennine: A Functional Perspective

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our study on Dianthus virgineus uses morphology, functional traits, and fluctuating asymmetry to explore elevational phenotypic variation. We found continuous, environmentally‐driven variation, suggesting local adaptation over distinct species. This work offers a framework to help in the interpretation of polymorphic plant complexes and prevent ...

Flower Feeding and Reproductive Timing in Spix's Night Monkeys (Aotus vociferans): Evidence From Arboreal Camera Traps

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This article provides new insights into the diet and reproductive biology of the Spix's night monkeys (Aotus vociferans). This evidence was collected using arboreal camera traps in a tropical mountain rainforest in Southern Ecuador, where documented information on this primate is rare.

Severe Climate‐Driven Range Contraction of Taverniera abyssinica A. Rich, an Endangered and Locally Popular Medicinal Plant in Ethiopia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Taverniera abyssinica, a critically endangered Ethiopian medicinal plant, faces severe habitat loss due to climate change. Using ensemble species distribution models (BRT, RF, GAM, GLM), we predict an 83.2% net reduction in suitable habitat under future climate scenarios.

Altitudinal Variation in Woody Species Diversity, Regeneration, and Soil Seed Bank Composition in Bela Mountain Forest, Northern Ethiopia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The study aimed to examine the relationship between species diversity and regeneration status along altitudinal gradients in a Bela Mountain Forest, northern Ethiopia. The result of the study showed that 54 woody species belonging to 31 families were recorded.

Moving beyond environmental filtering hypotheses: Deciphering the drivers of congeneric plant introductions in an oceanic archipelago

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Understanding why only some species succeed in naturalizing and invading ecosystems has intrigued scientists since Darwin's time. The pre‐adaptation hypothesis posits that introduced species closely related to natives, therefore ecologically similar, are more likely to establish than others.
