Disturbance‐Associated Plant Communities in Africa's Largest Alpine Ecosystem: Evidence for Long‐Term Anthropogenic Influence

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, October/December 2026.
This study provides the first integrated evidence of long‐term human impacts in Ethiopia's Bale Mountains, combining modern vegetation transects with sedimentary steroid and bile acid biomarkers. We identified a sharp 200 m settlement edge and reveal sustained anthropogenic influence from the late Pleistocene, with pastoralism intensifying around 6.5 ...

Underestimation of avian diversity in the Tumbesian hotspot: Sampling gaps and conservation challenges

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study provides the first comprehensive reassessment of avian diversity in the Tumbesian region in over 30 years, documenting 931 species and identifying significant sampling gaps driven by geographic accessibility. We reveal a critical misalignment between biodiversity value and current protection coverage, particularly in humid forests which ...

Prioritizing site groups for intrinsic biodiversity assets using complementarity and not just rarity

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Conservation practitioners rightfully focus on at‐risk species when valuing biodiversity assets and prioritizing spatial units. We compared and combined numbers of at‐risk species with four other community metrics using surveys of vascular plants at wetlands in a preserve network in Illinois, USA.

Complementary Hotspots of Vegetation Diversity in Andean Patagonian Forests

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Examining spatial relationships among three vegetation diversity metrics—species richness (S), rarity‐weighted richness (RWR) and local contribution to beta diversity (LCBD) as a measure of compositional uniqueness and quantifying the spatial congruence of their hotspots to assess conservation value.

A First Indication That Rainforest Vine Proliferation Does Not Enhance Predator–Prey Interactions on the Forest Floor

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 10, Page 1229-1241, October 2026.
Vine proliferation is a widespread consequence of tropical forest disturbance, yet its effects on ground‐level predator–prey interactions remain poorly understood. Using plasticine caterpillars deployed on the rainforest floor in north Queensland, Australia, we show that overall predation rates were unaffected by vine‐to‐tree ratio. Instead, fine‐scale
